- Keep Øystein Runde has written Norways first and only superhero comic, Bjartmann,
and he also recived the most money from the norwegian comic foundation last year. Norway is a strong nation when it comes to cartoon/comics and I think a couple more should be included, not excluded. Being involved with Kristopher Schau is not a reason in itself, however.
- Keep I'm responsible for this entry. Kristopher Schau, the Norwegian muscician and artist has an entry in the English Wikipedia. Upon seeing that, I thought it useful to supplement this article with the fact that he also is the author of a quite controversial comic. Namely, Margarin. Øystein Runde, the illustrator of this comic, is an up-and-coming cartoonist in Norway and also has entries in the Norwegian Wikipedia. Admittedly, I got a bit carried away with some of my entries (including Sigurd Ohrem which I admit I do know and which I agree should be deleted or in any case only appear on a Norwegian site) on my first day here at Wikipedia. But if Kristopher Schau is worthy of a Wikipedia entry, so is Øystein Runde. He has, by the way, as the unofficial criteria demands, been published in a periodical with a circulation of 5,000 or more (Smult) as well as having published two comics of his own with a circulation of similar magnitude. Not to mention his monthly strip in Spirit, with a circulation of a lot more than 5,000. The man is a notable Norwegian sub-cultural phenomenon. I will add a link and expand this stub in the run of some days to make it more serious. I will also include information from some of the smaller articles pertaining to this man.-- Gaupepasser 18:27, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: I have no problem with the notability of Kristopher Schau. But having worked with him is not reason for notability per se. He has worked with hundreds of people. -- Egil 17:09, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: It is not based on his co-operation with Kristopher Schau alone that Øystein Runde is worthy of an entry. As I mentioned above, Øystein Runde has been published and is constantly published in periodicals with a circulation of more than 5,000. In case you misunderstood, I was referring to Øystein Runde, not Kristopher Schau, in my comment. For the year 2004, he received a substantial amount of the support funds of Norsk Tegneserieråd (Norwegian Comic Council). The man is notable in his own right. He is more known for Margarin than Schau. Gaupepasser 20:05, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Presumably an autobiography/vanity. Sufficient notability not established. -- Egil 04:58, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Abstain. Can you get someone familliar with Norwegian culture to verify this entry's notability or lack thereof? Andrew pmk 06:04, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. Looks like yet another guy pushing all his friends into WP. Check out his contributions. The subject of one of his articles has an IMDB entry, though. Rl 10:57, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Not notable enough, nor is his comic. Even in Norway. Sjakkalle 11:55, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
