Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Norway|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Norway.

The subject appears to fail to meet the GNG or any suitable SNG. Running a before using Google News results in only a list of quotes from the subject. When filtering out quotes leads to a single website which only attributes another quote to the subject. Broadening the search to Google generally only provides links to social media, links to purchase books authored by the subject, and links to listen to subject's music. Page creator found 2 sources, [1] and [2], both of which are press releases and so are ineligible for establishing notability. I do not believe there is any suitable redirect targets. —Sirdog (talk) 03:16, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I've verified the above and not found anything different. Global and Mail looks like it might be an RS, but it clearly marks both these pages as press releases. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 05:34, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Clear press releases which are not independent. Else, there is a quote in Newsweek but that isnt significant coverage Robertjamal12 ~🔔 09:36, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't appear to meet WP:N; average local newspaper, no particular significance. Boleyn (talk) 19:29, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I agree with Boleyn. Merge to a new article newspapers in Sunnmøre. Here, the lesser newspapers in Sunnmøre would be chronicled. A similar solution was brought up during Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arbeidernes blad (2nd nomination), which was merged to a target I deem dissatisfactory, of course because newspapers in Sunnmøre doesn't exist (an article about historical newspapers in Ålesund was suggested, but that's just one of the cities in Sunnmøre). I would also merge a lot of other stubs there: the extant Nordre, Møre-Nytt, Bygdebladet, Nytt i uka, Vikebladet Vestposten as well as historical newspapers such as Arbeidernes blad, Aalesunds Socialdemokrat, Møre Arbeiderblad, etc. There are a lot of permastubs here, which are all pretty useless on their own.

• @Boleyn. I now started the broader article, would you agree to a speedy merge? I will use the Store norske leksikon [3] to verify any facts before finalizing the merger. Geschichte (talk) 10:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A merge sounds fine, Geschichte, my only concern is that the article is completely unsourced, so it would only be unsourced info merged, but that could maybe be addressed in time. Thanks for your help, Boleyn (talk) 10:35, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Albert Tjåland[edit]

This succumbed to an AFD before, but since then it has been recreated due to "coverage in international media". It happened at a time when the player was looking to be moving up in the football hierarchy, but with all due respect to the player, the career has stagnated, which I think allows us to see the subject in a clearer light. In an encyclopedic sence, Albert Tjåland fails WP:NOTINHERITED, WP:SUSTAINED, WP:TOOSOON, WP:SIRS and as a consequence WP:SPORTCRIT.

• ABT was a child whom international media took a novelty interest to.
• His football career has not panned out. He plays on the fourth tier, has never played a league game for a first team, only reaching as far as appearing 6 times on Bryne's bench - as well as playing a cup game for Molde, which for WP:PEACOCK reasons is called "a professional debut". Nothing he has done remotely resembles a significant accomplishment within sport.
• While there was coverage in many countries, there reports about various accomplishments in children's games lack significance, and was all the more packed with speculation and hot air. A big breakthrough is not currently looming on the horizon, and while it might of course happen one day, we have the too soon guideline for a reason.
• The press coverage was exclusively motivated by him having a famous relative. Albert and Erling have similar names and likenesses, and joined the same club (Molde) as a youth player. Take the relative out of the equation, and what are you left with? Notability is not inherited from relatives. Geschichte (talk) 09:34, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
