These kind of articles are quite many by now, and a merge may be warranted?

- Dominions of Sweden
If these articles all deal with different issues, then I'm not going to push the issue. Give your opinions. // Fred-Chess 17:01, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
- I don't really understand the point of the Possessions of Sweden article. However the others aren't the same. The Swedish colonial empire, did not co-exist with the Swedish empire, Swedish emigration is significant in itself especially in Minnisotan history. Swedish in the UNited STates is just part of a bigger article alread so a merge isn't necessary or viable. Dominions of Sweden deals with European dominions. I would suggest simply merging Possessions of Sweden into the others and redirecting it to Dominions of Sweden. Oh and Swedish colonization of the Americas is part of a series and could be expanded so I would leave it. Finally New Sweden is about a specific colony similar to the New Netherlands and New Amsterdam. While a lot of this could be combined into one big good article that would take an extraordinary amount of work and more than likely information would instead be lost.

[edit] Swedish colonial empire
Is it really correct to call the Swedish colonial possesions an "empire"? By the way, what is the definition of an empire?Aaker 14:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
