Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carl Joachim Hambro (philologist)
An individual with his own entry in Store_norske_leksikon|the second most comprehensive Norwegian-language encyclopedia (now online-only, because of the success of WP) does not automatically merit an entry in WP. This chap's work as a diplomat, university lecturer, and philologist are not notable by Wikipedia standards. Nor is winning an award sufficient. His family relation to the politician C._J._Hambro|C J Hambro is certainly insufficient (). But this may well have been the main reason the ''Store norske leksikon'' gave him his own article. How many other individuals does it give their own articles to who are not notable for anything other than winning the Bastian prize? List of winners is Bastian_Prize#List_of_winners|here. Many don't have their own articles either in the ''Leksikon'' or in WP. The issue comes down to whether or not his being awarded the Bastian Prize by the Norwegian Association of Literary Translators (which today has about 300 members) in 1963 makes him notable. The answer is surely no
