• Keep. He's attracted considerable press. I found a large amount of coverage of his opinions and one article entirely about him on the occasion of his 50th birthday. He's also co-edited at least one prestigious book (for Cambridge University Press) since the article was put together, there's at least one archived program on Danish Radio that is him sharing his opinions, and there are a large number of citations of his work on new religious movements. I've filled out the article with a lot of Danish sources, but there are also brief mentions in the New York Times of one of his statements. Clear pass of the GNG, in my opinion, and I believe he also meets WP:PROF for his influence in his field. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:16, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep As far as I can tell, the sources seem to be independent and cover him substantially. Borock (talk) 14:56, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep -- meets WP:BASIC notability criteria for WP:BIO. The provided references show the subject has significant coverage in independent reliable sources, such as Kristeligt Dagblad, Politiken, and Berlingsle Tidende. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 18:22, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• I originality closed as Keep but nom was a bit unhappy so to keep everyone happy I've reopened. –Davey2010^Talk 02:34, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
