Notability

[edit]

Is there any evidence of this individual being notable? The article states that he was a farmer, a local public servant, and station master of a small station - none of which are inherently notable. Given that the article has references demonstrating that the information is true, but not appearing to demonstrate notability, perhaps a merge into the Snarum Station article would be most appropriate.

I raised this issue a week ago, too. He does appear to have nontrivial coverage in multiple secondary sources, which finally convinced me that he just clears the GNG, but agree it's a squeaker. I also can't directly review the foreign-lang sources, which adds a bit of AGF here. Khazar (talk) 14:12, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The same person who wrote this article also wrote Snarum Station and other train articles, s/he is probably a Norwegian railfan. Trainspotters tend to be very obsessive so cataloging station masters, for them, would be highly notable, the article is 90% about his train duties, and of course sources would exist for it. But Jørgen Rytterager is probably more notable, for wikipedia purposes, as elector and arbitrator for Buskerud County, but that gets only a passing mention.
