Keep (changed from “comment”) WP:ANYBIO says anyone who has an entry in a country's standard national biographical dictionary is likely to be notable. I’m not sure if Store norske leksikon is the “standard national biographical dictionary” in Norway, but if it is, the subject is probably notable. Mccapra (talk) 05:47, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:ANYBIO since Store norske leksikon is indeed the standard encyclopedia, and the article has existed since it was a paper encyclopedia. It would be utterly far-fetched to claim that Wikipedia should have fewer articles than a paper encyclopedia. Geschichte (talk) 09:48, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Being chief of police of Norway's second-largest city would seem to be a notable enough and has an entry in the paper version of Store norske leksikon in any case. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:36, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
