Seems to fail WP:BIO and only has one semi-reliable source. :| TelCo NaSp Ve :| 14:45, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article fails both WP:BIO. Also failed to find enough reliable sources for this person. Please note that the article's subject's Twitter is protected. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 14:53, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. What on Earth does the statement that "the article's subject's Twitter is protected", whatever that means, have to do with the question of whether she is a suitable subject for an encyclopedia article? Phil Bridger (talk) 22:13, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Recipient of major literature award, Tarjei Vesaas' debutantpris, which alone would vouchsafe notability. __meco (talk) 15:41, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Her first novel won the national award for first novels, that makes her notable enough. I've improved the article using the Bokmål one so that the statement in the lede that she is a journalist is now supported and so that her academic credentials and the nature of the external links are clearer. One of the latter turned out to be best used as a ref. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:38, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep She appears to be a major emerging Norwegian writer with a bevy of awards for her first novel. Am I missing something? Vrivers (talk) 17:12, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
