Fails WP:BIO. There are no independent and reliable sources indicating any significance to this article whatsoever. It may be possible to merge the article into the Faroese Prize article, but I am not convinced that even that would be worthwile. Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 20:06, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Winner of a major national literary prize and had a lead role in a film of national significance. The article has had further sources added since nomination and more can probably be found (I haven't looked yet). We should beware of the problem of entrenched bias when dealing with people who are famous in small countries with little understood languages (and whose media may be hard to access online).

Keep per Yngvadottir's logic. I am not especially familiar with WP:BIO but entries in the National Library of the Faroe Islands and NYT would presumably qualify. Ben Mac Dui 08:23, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Yngvadottir's logic. Obviously notable, even if not well known to English speakers. --SouthernNights (talk) 01:34, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
