For things these old, you ought to check the newspaper archives and similar (not sure if relevant since outside of US, but still....). If no sources can be found there, then Delete in its current state. Rlink2 (talk) 03:23, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- You should be telling us whether sources can be found. Otherwise that is not a meaningful contribution to an AFD discussion. The closing administrator knows what notability is. Xe needs you to find out how it applies. Uncle G (talk) 16:07, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  @Uncle G, Ok, I will keep that in mind. I too thought it was boerdline, hence why I said we should find more source..
  
  I do not have access to JSTOR so I wouldn't have found that anyway. Thank you for the advice. Rlink2 (talk) 12:40, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Thorsen 2003 source already in the article is a non-trivial biography of the subject's life and work. The research not done by Rlink2 above turns up things like JSTOR 23506400 and recital dates and recordings in catalogues, so with one full biography and ancillary sources like that there is it seems just enough for an encyclopaedia article here, although I would prefer more. This is very much a borderline case. Some of the things from the main source should not have been used verbatim or in Wikipedia's voice, too. Uncle G (talk) 16:07, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I should note, before I made this AfD discussion page, I had already checked for more information about this musician by doing a cursory search that included looking into digitized Norwegian newspaper archives, and had come up empty. That I (an Anglophone who knows little about Norwegian pianists) did not find anything doesn't mean there is nothing there. Agree that this is a borderline case -- clearly I lean towards Delete, seeing that I made the nomination in the first place. Socksage (talk) 19:42, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: As a borderline case, this discussion might benefit from a few more days of consideration.
