Don't believe he is notable, fails WP:SOLDIER IMO Gbawden (talk) 07:21, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete I tend to agree, it seems he served as a captain in World War II so didn't command a large body of men or perform a major role. His medal was received much later for non-combat duties. Though he's of enough interest to an edition of Hvem er Hvem?, I don't think that means he meets WP:SOLDIER or WP:GNG. 'Weak' delete because Rolv Hauge is not an uncommon name, so someone with a better understanding of the Norwegian language may be able to turn up other information to prove me wrong.

• Delete. Seems to have ended his career as a colonel, so too low-ranking for inherent notability per WP:SOLDIER. Nothing else to particularly distinguish him. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:48, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. His name is actually Rolf Hauge. He died in 1989, and I can confirm he ended his career as a colonel. He was however more decorated than the article tells. Geschichte (talk) 09:29, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Hauge is notable. He was instrumental in building No. 5 Norwegian Troop, being responsible for personally hand-picking the soldiers of that elite unit. Also, he has an entry in a paper encyclopaedia (Gyldendals store konversasjonsleksikon). Plus, he commanded a company of infantry during the 1940 Norwegian Campaign. I'll expand the article soon.

• Keep. Among the book coverages, in particular the book Klar til storm by Arnfinn Haga from 1984, which treats the Norwegian commandos during World War II. In this book, Hauge is the most central person (and his name is mentioned on more than forty different pages). Oceanh (talk) 07:16, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep with improvements and move to Rolf Hauge (officer). Geschichte (talk) 11:53, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with a move to Rolf Hauge (officer), as Rolf seems to be the most often used spelling of his first name, and there are more people with articles named Rolf Hauge. Manxruler (talk) 09:02, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. Note that I've just found a bunch of mentions of Hauge in the Osprey Publishing book No. 10 (Inter-Allied) Commando 1942-45: Britain's Secret Commando. Will add info from that book later today. Manxruler (talk) 12:02, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
