| Submission declined on 30 July 2025 by WeirdNAnnoyed (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: The sources provided are not enough to establish that this photographer is notable. All of the sources are simply confirming that he works for this paper or won that award; none are about him, and none provide detailed background and analysis (significant secondary coverage). Furthermore, other-language Wikipedia articles are never acceptable as sources on English Wikipedia. But the sources on that page might be. I can't read Norwegian so I will leave that task to the author. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 11:24, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
