[edit] Notability

This article might not meet notability guidelines as described by people notable only for one event. Additionally, English documentation for this event is scarce. -- KingNewbs (talk) 17:52, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

You are wrong. "When a person is associated with only one event, such as for a particular relatively unimportant crime ...". The T5PC scandal is not a "relatively unimportant crime", but one of the most sigificant economic crimes in Norwegian history. If you are not familiar with Norwegian issues, please refrain from making such claims. Norwegian documentation is overwhelming.

If we can have articles on people involved in American scandals, like Enron, we surely can have articles on people involved in similar cases in other countries. BjarneMG (talk) 18:03, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I absolutely agree, but this person's importance to the english wikipedia needs more reliable assertion. It was flagged for notablity, not deletion. This event may be very important, but as it is now the article only presumes to be notable, rather than actually establishing notability with reliable third-party references, as in WP:NOT. If it's an event similar to Enron, there are probably good references that establish notability. I was not able to find any that I could read, so hopefully the article's author can provide some. -- KingNewbs (talk) 18:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Basically, as far as anyone who does not speak the language knows, this entire article could be fictional. This doesn't seem to be the case, but currently there's no way to verify it. -- KingNewbs (talk) 18:34, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I finally found a page that describes guidelines for non-english sources, and based on that this article seems to qualify as verified. I withdraw my notability concerns. -- KingNewbs (talk) 18:55, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I've added a bunch of english sources to the T5PC article, but I do not yet have anything specifically naming Henrik Ellefsen in an english source. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 19:35, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
