Any direct quotations have been marked as such and cited to a reliable source. The article contains no dispute templates. The article does not violate Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living people. The article does not contain plagiarism or close paraphrasing. The article deals with the subject in a neutral manner. The hook is properly formatted and is shorter than about 200 characters. The hook does not have neutrality problems or undue emphasis on a negative aspect of a living individual. The hook does not contain a redlink There is no image included with the hook and the fair use case for the in article image is fairly standard although given his involvement with the exiled Norwegian government in Britain in WW2 it might be worth checking if any crown copyright expired images exist. May also be worth turning "Ministry of Church Affairs" into a link.©Geni (talk) 03:53, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
