The result was merge/redirect to Baneheia case. I'll redirect, which will leave the history there for anyone to merge whatever they deem pertinent. Non-admin closure. Jujutacular ^T · C 19:59, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Per the spirit of WP:BLP1E, I think this article merits deletion. The only thing that makes him notable is his conviction for rape/murder. There is already an article on the actual case: Baneheia case; anything about him can be said there. — Coffee // have a cup // ark // 09:36, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

• Delete What a fucking dodgy conviction if the information contained here is true. But I digress; Coffee is right in that there is nothing here that can't be tied back to the case, and there is an article on that where all this can reasonably go. A clear example of BLP1E if ever I saw one. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 18:26, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
• Keep or merge/redirect. The Baneheia case is one of the most notorious crimes to take place in Norway, and Viggo Kristiansen was convicted as the most culpable of the two perpetrators (hence, Kristiansen received a 21 year containment sentence, while the co-defendant received 19 years in prison). I think that if the article is brought up to the standard on the Norwegian Wikipedia [1] the article may be kept, because there are some more details on his activity in prison. At the very least, someone wanting searching for "Viggo Kristiansen" is most likely looking for information on the Baneheia case so merging and redirecting is OK too. --Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:15, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to/with the Baneheia case. I have never heard of him before, but he sounds as notable as Ian Huntley, which was also merged to the equivalent case. Martin451 (talk) 23:49, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

• Keep or merge/redirect. Sjakkalle has set out the arguments clearly. Opbeith (talk) 12:10, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
• Merge/redirect or delete. I'm fine with having his name redirect to Baneheia case, and if there's relevant info we can merge it there. But this is a clear cut WP:BLP1E and keeping a standalone article is not really an option. Given the above comments simply turning this into a redirect is clearly the way to go in terms of consensus, and it matters not to me whether we just do that and do a merge or delete the history and then turn this into a redirect. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 21:25, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
• Merge As said above, WP:BLP1E/WP:BIO1E completly applies here. If User:BirgerOJ and User:Coffee agree, I would suggest a SK merge, which I encourage these two users to agree to as it seems to be the most amicable outcome.--Ipatrol (talk) 22:37, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
• Merge/redirect to Baneheia case. This person does not seem to fit the criteria of WP:PERP for a stand alone article. Wine Guy~Talk 02:16, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
