Article is new enough and long enough expansion wise. Article is supported by inline citations. Article is neutral enough. Hook is 192 characters with spaces and looks properly fomatted.
Spot checked for plagiarism but sources are all in Norwegian. Google translation and the information is so concise and factual that any similarities does not give me too many worries because there just appears to be no other way to word it. No images so no need to check copyright on them. Hook is interesting enough.- Article text says " He became Norwegian champion in the event from 1957 through 1964". It does not say eight, but I can count both the source and it this appears to be true based on interpreting the article and the source. It might be nice for the article to say "He became Norwegian champion in the event from 1957 through 1964, winning a total of eight times, and won a silver medal in 1965." or something like that but good enough. --LauraHale (talk) 22:03, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
