I'm not seeing anything that especially distinguishes him from the rest of the officers in World War II. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:18, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment He appears to have been included in a Norwegian "Who's Who", so assuming it is a reputable one, then there may well be significantly more to found about him in Norwegian. It might help if someone who knows something about Norwegian sources could chime in here. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:40, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At worst, merge to battle of Dombås. Geschichte (talk) 08:21, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with the proviso that I can’t read Norwegian. He also had an entry in the Norwegian Who Was Who? and I see multiple other references in many Google books. Mccapra (talk) 05:53, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: Well this is either Keep or Merge to battle of Dombås; the Norwegian and Danish sources (I've added another) think him worth a mention (usually for one paragraph) for his part in the battle, and even if Norway has a small population, getting an entry in their Who's Who is significant. He does seem to be recorded only for the one event - not very surprising as he was taken prisoner - so his notability is borderline, and a merge to the battle article would probably be best.

Keep given that he was a military officer and there's some available information regarding him, I see no reason to delete this, the merge option is possible but the article seems passable to me. N1TH Music (talk) 07:13, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
