[edit] Norwegian Golden Age

This article has a number of shortcomings:

• In terms of its content, it is redundant with a number of articles, including Sweden-Norway, Norwegian romantic nationalism, Norway in 1814, just to name a few
• As is pointed out by other editors, it has no sources, looks like it's a bit of a walled garden, and is incoherent
• Its very title doesn't reference a particular topic - the term "golden age" is not a universally agreed-upon term for any given time frame - some say it's the short era between the Viking era and the "400-year night"; others say it's from 1870 to 1920, corresponding with the national romantic movement, others think it's about now.
• I have asked for further substantiation by the original editor, whose only contributions appear to be this article, and never heard back.

• Delete the article after the relevant information has been merged into the appropriate articles mentioned above. Inge 18:01, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete—Did not find this particular usage in any of the more common references on Norwegian history; more commonly title modern Norway or segmented further. Agree with Leifern on deletion and Inge on merging relevant material into the appropriate articles. Skål - Williamborg (Bill) 04:10, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
