[edit] Icelandic nationalism

Delete The article as is, although, after the last edits, the text is mainly mine, contains no useful information at all. We need either to purge it or get a proper article with historical references to Nationalism in general vs. the Icelandic þjóðernishyggja which are not the same concepts. In order to deal with the topic one would need to compare nationalism and patriotism (both of which are covered elsewhere) and provide the history of the very few genuinely nationalistic "nationalistic" movements in Iceland. The only example I can think of is the extremely ineffectual Nazi Party, which did in fact exist, but was mostly the object of derision. Io 19:16, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 16:11, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I'm glad you cleaned and edited it, because I found it useful and interesting. Most of us who aren't Icelandic have no clue about any of this. I'll go with the "get a proper article..." option here. This doesn't need to go; it's a decent start. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 18:20, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It certainly could be better, but it's good enough to keep as a placeholder until a better article comes along.Thatcher131 18:40, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It reads like a dictionary entry, but it can certainly be edited into something interesting. --BWD ^(talk) 21:33, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

After three keeps against my own delete, am I in the position of wishing to erase an article, which probably owes most to me, against the wishes of other readers? Talk about irony. Cheers Io 22:08, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, it's just a dictionary definition. Þjóðernishyggja is merely Icelandic for nationalism as far as I'm concerned. It would be nice to have an article on the Icelandic independence movement though. --Bjarki 22:41, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Rewrite: An Icelandic nationalism article would be great, but currently this is just a vague discussion about Icelandic vocabulary. Peter Grey 05:31, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Bjarki. Pavel Vozenilek 18:22, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
