Broken nomination by Tony Sandel citing: "nominate for deletion. not notable. autobiography" in the edit summary [1]. I am inclined to agree, as I did in the previous nomination. No substantial improvements have been made since the last AfD that closed as no consensus. IronGargoyle 21:18, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per Tony Sandel above. IronGargoyle 21:19, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Published author, which speaks to notability. It's unfortunate that the article is an auto, but while WP:Auto "strongly discourages" autobiographical articles, this is not to be a reason for deletion as the page states. Previous AfD closed as "no consensus," which is a little unusual, since there was only one delete !vote. ◄Zahakiel► 03:02, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Actually two delete !votes if you count my previous nomination. IronGargoyle 03:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The fact that his books have been published by a prestigious publisher (Norway's largest or second largest, I think) should vouch for this author's notability. __meco 07:28, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless multiple independent reliable sources cited to verify notablity. Stifle (talk) 13:48, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, per meco.Vice regent 15:01, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as a fairly high-profile published author. — xDanielxTalk 22:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
