Fails WP:GNG, and google shows mostly blogs and small bits of information on the subject. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 19:07, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - several reliable sources are available. See for example this or this. Besides, the article exists in seven other Wikipedia languages. As an old painting, it's normal that there aren't tons of reliable sources, but the painting still has been mentioned in several books. L293D (☎ • ✎) 00:35, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Really incorrect nomination. I added eleven sources, most of which are books calling it one of the best-known paintings in Norway.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 07:47, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Mmm, I'm relieved the article is being improved by the moment. Many thanks. It is really rather a well known painting. I found [1] and [2] but the latter (a full paper on the subject) is behind a very high paywall. Thincat (talk) 09:38, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, obviously. There is a nice start class article at no:Brudeferd i Hardanger currently sourced with 15 references, and a search on Brudeferd i Hardanger returns thousands of hits. Basic WP:BEFORE. There are plenty of sources in English and German as well. James B. Duke Professor of Literature and Romance Studies and Professor of English, Philosophy and Theatre Studies at Duke University Toril Moi in her book Henrik Ibsen and the Birth of Modernism: Art, Theater, Philosophy writes: "In 1849, Tidemandand Gude's joint painting Bridal Procession in Hardanger (Brudeferden i Hardanger) became an instant national icon, the most famous nationalist tableau vivant in Norwegian history."
