[edit] Cartilagebaroque

Cartilagebaroque (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No references to prove notability or, in fact, existance. Zero return for google hits suggests WP:HOAX JD554 (talk) 13:19, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

This is not a hoax, search for bruskbarokk and you will get several pages on norwegian. I think that I would know this better than you! --Hengre (talk) 13:40, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

If you know better than me then you can edit the article to add verifiable references that prove notability to show it should stay. --JD554 (talk) 13:59, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. Assuming good faith, I doubt that this is a hoax. The title "Cartilagebaroque", a disconcerting neologism in English, is bound to provoke scepticism. More importantly, it fails to tell us that this is about a Norwegian style of art and architecture. I suspect that both this and the Stavangerrenaissance article, if sourceable, ought to be merged somewhere; either at Stavanger Cathedral or Stavanger#History. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:53, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment. "bruskbarokk" does bring up a lot more ghits. Unfortunately I don't speak Norwegian so am unable to determine if means cartilagebaroque or not. If the merges can be properly sourced and referenced as you suggest I would be happy to withdraw the AfD. --JD554 (talk) 15:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment it's not a hoax - I've taken the tag off. There is a reference in the Norwegian WP here, which gives an external reference. It looks better with the words separated to "Cartilage baroque" - I've done that in the article, but not in the title for fear of confusing the links to this AfD debate. Whether there is enough material for an article is another question - probably better merged as suggested above. JohnCD (talk) 14:30, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Thanks - I must have failed to save my edit, because I thought I had made other changes, which I have now done, mainly splitting "Cartilagebaroque" into two words. JohnCD (talk) 22:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge with Stavangerrenaissance is my !vote, assuming that survives, as I hope it will. I have found one reference to this in English (actually for a 1639 pulpit at Kalvehave in Denmark) but I don't think there's really enough for a separate article. JohnCD (talk) 22:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge as above. As long as the above mentioned citation goes with it. --JD554 (talk) 07:52, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
