Talk:Runestone U 29

I see that this article has been listed for speedy deletion. There are many runestone articles on WP, and this runestone tells the story of a family. It is notable enough to have an exposition at a museum in Stockholm.--Berig 17:35, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

considering most of this article does not cotain anything in english, and what is in english makes no sense whatsoever, I believe it is obviously nonsenseEMT1871 17:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It is the same information as is given in Rundata, the Joint Nordic database for runic inscriptions (Swedish: Samnordisk runtextdatabas), which is a project started on January 1, 1993 at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden. The project's goal is to comprehensively catalog runic inscriptions in a machine-readable way for future research. You can see both the runic inscription in Latin characters, what they represent in Old Norse and an English translation.--Berig 17:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

This page is most definitely not "patent nonsense" and does not meet the criteria of WP:SD. As per WP:Nonsense: "The following, while often regrettable, are not patent nonsense: Text translated or written by someone who is not a native English speaker (see Pages needing translation into English)" It is a transliteration of a runic monument in Sweden from weathered runic inscription <to Old Norse <to English and is part of an ongoing project. - WeniWidiWiki 17:57, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * While it can be debated whether every runestone should have its own article, it is absolutely clear that this article is not nonsense. It is well-written and well-referenced. Deletion of this article would be patent nonsense.--Barend 18:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, luckily EMT1871 had not discovered and tagged for speedy deletion another but even less informative article on the same stone. As the name of the other article is more in line with the naming of the other stones from the same area, I will redirect this one, and merge the information into it.--Berig 18:50, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
