Not much evidence of notability; couldn't find much on web beyond facebook and pinterest. valereee (talk) 13:05, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Valereee. She's certainly one of the most notable authors in Denmark at the moment. The problem is you are searching in English-language sources. If you search in Danish you will find many references in the large-circulation national newspapers such as Berlingske and Politiken. For example:

Roman: Olga Ravn romandebuterer talentfuldt, men lidt uforløst
Tove Ditlevsen anno 2012
Olga Ravn slipper raseriet løs med et besættende sprogligt overskud
Olga Ravn: At skrive er en måde at tænke på

She also received a very positive introduction in the English-language Danish Literary Magazine (Autumn 2013). See the write-up on Page 28 here

I could give you many, many more citations in Danish if you cannot find them yourself. I only devoted a short article to Olga Ravn at this stage but it could well be expanded. I am up to my neck with an editathon on women architects at the moment but I can see there's quite a bit more we could add to the article on Ravn.--Ipigott (talk) 13:44, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ipigott I'm totally willing to take your word for it; it might be good to include these other references when you've unburied yourself? :) I did go to the two currently listed and they looked like simple listings of writers rather than evidence of notability. valereee (talk) 13:58, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Valereee: Thanks for your quick response. I've already added a snippet and will get back to it later. The problem is you cannot cover all these people in great detail from the word go.--Ipigott (talk) 14:03, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ipigott No deadlines. :D valereee (talk) 14:05, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I added English-language refs and fleshed out the presentation. Yoninah (talk) 23:16, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the improvements made. The subject passes WP:ANYBIO as there is coverage in English as well as in Danish. Jim Carter 10:28, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Wow, that's turned into a nice little article overnight. I stand corrected. valereee (talk) 13:01, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
