Weak delete' - Like said, dime a dozen. No coverage that's enough for me to say notable at this time that I can find.

Keep - She is a celebrity. Norway's only publicly known convicted
brothel keeper, convicted drug trafficker with experience as a prostitute, who has written a book that has been portrayed on
NRK. --

Keep She's apparently nationally known as a brothel keeper. "A dime a dozen" implies that nobody in that profession can be notable, which is conceivably a moral judgment or a POV, but not an appropriate way to make a modern encyclopedia DGG (

Keep. She works hard for the
WP:RS.

Keep. Extensive national media coverage over a period of years, meets GNG. I will add additional sources if no one else adds them first.

Keep. As for the moral judgement of the profession, I think it is relevant to point out that being a brothel keeper = organizing prostitution is illegal in Norway, and that the article should be treated as a BLP about a person only or primarily known for
crime, specifically two trials. (This may also explain why she basically is the only well-known brothel keeper in Norway and not one of a dozens: media in Norway normally protects the identity of criminals). There was extensive media coverage of the trials, the coverage itself has been subjected to
scholarly analysis (in Norwegian). The coverage focused heavily on the indidual's role and she willingly participated to it. After the second trial, she published a self-biography which sold ca. 1,300 ex. and she was interviewed in
NRK about, which may make her semi-notable as an author. Regards,
