Notable?

Hello, I'm trying to work out why this chap is notable (WP:BIO). If it is just because he is the father of Niels Henrik Abel, I think this article should be merged into that one. That is my understanding of the guidelines (WP:NOTINHERITED). 87.114.136.92 (talk) 08:35, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He is notable as the author of a well-known Catechesis explanation, and also as a Member of Parliament. Andres (talk) 19:01, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
