Major WP:Puff piece, lacking notability under any guideline. Sources are primary, local news or trivial/passing mentions, political achievements are in a tiny municipality. Geschichte (talk) 05:34, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Several of the sources are the Norwegian national broadcaster NRK, where he is not just trivially mentioned / passing. There are more sources and articles online not referenced in the article.

Political work also not really in the local municipal level, but rather the county level, there is among other things debates with parliamentarians and criticism of cabinet policies, and most of the sources I at least find cover non local issues.

However I do agree that the wording and structure suffers from puffery.

I am trying to create articles and content that cover this area, as Wiki was previously missing a lot of content from it. Tried to understand the notability guidelines, but perhaps they are stricter than I was aware.

There are several more individuals I was planning to do biographies of, that have made an impact in the Nordfjord region, so it would be good to understand how high the bar is before I continue this work. A lot of those have a few national articles (such as the case here) and a large amount of local and regional coverage. I was under the assumption that a few national + lots of local / regional would be enough, assuming they are not passing mentions / minor comments in larger articles.
