Norway's Religion[edit]
Covered in Demographics of Norway LockeShocke 20:59, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: This was apparently either never listed on vfd or removed out of process, so I'm bringing it to today's page for resolution. —Korath (Talk) 00:22, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
- How 'bout just moving it to Religion in Norway, which I think follows the normal naming convention for the common subarticle "Religion in x" (like Religion in China, Religion in the United States, etc.) --Dmcdevit 01:28, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
MoveRedirect to Religion in Norway, per Dmcdevit; then expand - I'm sure that there's enough stuff on a country the size of Norway to fill a good-sized article... can go beyond demographics if it addresses historical shifts. -- 8^D gab 03:12, 2005 Apr 12 (UTC)- Move as per dmcdevit.

- Delete. If and when the religion section of Demographics of Norway grows too large for that page, then a new Religion in Norway article can be started. But at the moment there's no need for such a page. --Angr/comhrá 05:22, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect this and Religion of Norway to Demographics of Norway until there's enough material to break out an article. Mgm|(talk) 08:00, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
- Move to Religion in Norway. Megan1967 10:50, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I have created Religion in Norway covering Sámi and Norse mythology, the conversion of Norway, the Norwegian reformation, the Norwegian established church the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Norway and religion in the current day. This material would fit poorly in the Demograpics of Norway. There is nothing in the Norway's Religion article that isn't in the Religion in Norway article so delete this article.

- Wow, great job making an aricle out of thin air. But why no redirect, as this is probably a common link/search term? --Dmcdevit 16:46, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
DeleteRedirect, since now there is Religion in Norway. Martg76 12:48, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)- Redirect to Religion in Norway. We already have that article, so do not move. Sjakkalle 13:15, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect harmlessly to Religion in Norway. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 15:21, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to Religion in Norway. Dave the Red (talk) 19:06, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
- m:Wiki is not paper. And I'm getting sick of quoting that. It's tiny, aye, actually so short I'd hesitate on calling it a stub, even - but clearly, it is relevant. As for my vote; redirect to Religion in Norway. And stop VfD'ing pages without reading the guidelines, everybody, please...--TVPR 21:11, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to CR's much better (and consistent with our naming convention) Religion in Norway. This substub is only a point or two away from being patent nonsense: "...and then there is 11% which is just other religions which are unknown." If eleven percent of 4.5 million people follow those religions, how do they stay unknown? If they're unknown how were they counted? Probably the author was just trying to quote from a poll and poorly interpreted its catchall "other" summarization or "no answer given" or "no religious affiliation". Barno 01:48, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Makes sense to me, as I don't know my religion, so that's ho I would have answered. :) But I've never yet heard of "unknown" as a choice on a census... --Dmcdevit 02:02, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
