[edit] Þórir Jökull Steinfinnsson
Mostly Non English Page. Isn't useful in the encyclopedia. Blightsoot 21:13, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
Delete due mainly to the lack of any contextual clue as to what the hell it's supposed to be about. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 21:59, 19 November 2005 (UTC)Keep link comes from Skald. I'll try to add some info on this poet. --24.31.29.171 22:27, 19 November 2005 (UTC)Delete, skaldic poets could probably be excused for lacking a large web presence, but the article does nothing to assert notability (beyond the fact that someone has heard of him 800 years later). - Bobet 00:13, 20 November 2005 (UTC)Keep at least for now, and see if Halal or someone can find some information on the poet to see how notable he is. Being (probably) Icelandic, it’s not going to be easy finding information on him, and he could be very notable in Iceland but not well known outside of Iceland. Any contributions from Icelanders would be welcome here. •DanMS 00:20, 20 November 2005 (UTC)Full disclosure: I have a soft spot for Iceland, having lived there for two years and loved the country. •DanMS 01:58, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Ok I Withdraw this nomination. I agree it could be of use now someone managed to get one source and the page is properly formatted up. (Far from how it was earlier) Interestingly, the guy could pass WP:BIO on the basis of being of relative importance in his field of Skald poetry. Keep Blightsoot 00:27, 20 November 2005 (UTC)Keep and expand, as he seems to be notable. Carioca 01:06, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Comment-I asked about this at the talk page of four of the ten people in Category:Wikipedians in Iceland. I worry that was obnoxious, but maybe you'll get a taker.--T. Anthony 11:23, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Keep This is notable, half the Icelandic nation knows the poem quoted on his page. I'll see if I can expand some more and establish notability and context better. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 12:24, 20 November 2005 (UTC)Strong Keep-Now that we've heard from someone from Iceland.--T. Anthony 12:28, 20 November 2005 (UTC)KEEP - I'm off to see my Icelandic Connection over turkey time and hope to have some more for the article at [after] that time.
