[edit] Jörgen Jörgensen

I'm not sure why you redirected this article to an article about a totally different person, particularly given your edit summary that correctly points out the proper avenue for deletion. Let me know if I'm missing something.Erechtheus 20:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot to sign in. I'm the user Introgressive and I changed that page.

Jörgen Jörgensen is a man that ruled Iceland for a short period of time during the Napoleon wars. When I entered his name in the search bar, I found simply a blank page instead of the article I was looking for. That was because ö and ø are two letters which both stand for the same sound, and since Jörgen was Danish, his name is usually spelled with the Danish letter ø.

Therefore, I redirected the page to his name, since the article about the other Jörgen had been blanked, and there should be no empty pages on Wikipedia. I have no knowledge of why the other article had been blanked and, like you said, it should be voted upon the deletion first.

To conclude, I have no objection to make if anyone wants the article to be properly deleted first, but since I have no knowledge nor understanding of neither the subject itself nor the reason for its articles deletion, I could hardly revert the page myself to its original form nor ask for a deletion.

On a different subject, isn't it amazing how much can be written about nothing? Introgressive 21:04, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. As you can see, I have restored a stub version of the prior article and proposed its deletion. I don't think this will be controversial, but we'll move to WP:AFD if it is. Once the page is deleted, it seems perfectly appropriate for you to create the redirect because both the blanking author and you agree that the two different modified O characters are synonomous.

[edit] Jón Páll Sigmarsson

Over a year ago you tagged this article. The tag still remains, without any more explanation for you adding it. Could you revise it and at least state why you tagged it in more than the few words you used in the edit box. --Stalfur 16:09, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

How on earth do you expect me to remember why I did it? The tag seems pretty irrational to me now, go ahead, remove it, I don't mind.Introgressive 16:43, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
