I'm one of his former students and I created this page, and I must admit that I was in doubt whether he should have his own entry here on Wikipedia. His book is widly spread, and I did a search on the Internet and found several interviews with him in newspapers in Asia, as well as seeing him interviewed on national TV in Norway.

I have no problem accepting if this entry is removed, but I really enjoyed his teachings and his book, and I therefore believe that it should be a valid entry.

The 'vanity' notice doesn't threaten immediate deletion or anything like that — but if you want the article to stay, you need to do more work. When and where was he born? What is his academic career? Give more details — partly because that's what an encyclopædia article needs, but partly because that makes it less likely that someone will come along and think that the subject isn't notable enough to be here. If that happens, the artcicle's probably doomed, because there are a lot of Wikipedia editors who vote to delete any article on a paerson they haven't heard of or who isn't obviously very well known.
Why not open an account (see the templates on the article page for links to how to do this)? It's free, it involves you in no extra obligation, and it provides a number of extra conveniences. You'll also be taken more seriously by many other editors. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:22, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
