Hjalmar Vilhjalmsson[edit]

According to the article this businessperson's claim to notability is that he is the manager of a large fish plant and has made some unspecified investments in Estonia. I get 50 hits on Google for a scientist of the same name. --Lee Hunter 12:21, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Does not establish notability. - Jpo 13:57, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete at the moment, as the article does not establish particulary sufficient notability. Being the son of someone who won an Olympic medal isn't notable, and his brother appears to have competed in the Olympics but not won. Hjalmar's sporting achievements may not be as impressive as they appear, as I would suspect it may well be less challenging to play for an Icelandic team in the Handball European Cup than for, say, a German one.

Comment: I wish people would stop saying 'non-notable' as if it meant something. If you mean 'it falls foul of What Wikipedia Is Not', say so, preferably with reference to which section in particular. Dan100 20:25, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Personally, I feel that "not notable" = "has no potential to be encyclopedic," which is clearly outlined. Oh, and delete. Katefan0 21:52, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)
    • Try Biography articles should only be for people with some sort of notoriety or achievement. Average Earthman 01:55, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable - fails Google test, possible vanity. Megan1967 02:32, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
