This is a page about a family with some members who may have been notable in and of themselves, but as a whole seems to be trying to inherit notability from association with Henrik Ibsen. So this seems like a non-notable... what... family? Organization? Don't even know how to classify it... BenTels (talk) 13:55, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - firstly the article is properly cited, and the Ibsen connection is mentioned as just that - one interesting fact; and Ibsen is used as one of the sources which does indeed confirm the claim made; it doesn't rest on name or painting (imaged) which may have been the impression given. Secondly, the family's notability is already established by the given sources, not just the notability of one or two members, so the article is not misplaced. Thirdly, several more probably notable members are named but not given citations, so it seems certain that more RS can be found. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:01, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep several of the sources are explicitly about the family as a group, rather than its individuals as such, clearly establishing notability. Arsenikk ^(talk) 11:09, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
