Alshander
This should be deleted. There is no "Alshander" in Norse Mythology, it's not even an Old Norse name. Check any reference work or even the web. This article was created by an anonymous user with just one other edit (to Skuld, also about this purported Alshander). My guess is that this is material from some fantasy story or game mistakenly believed by the editor to be authentic mythology. Haukurth 14:20, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
 * delete. There is little evidence available to verify this assertion. Perhaps the author would like to cite his reference works? --Lejend 14:32, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax unless verification is provided. --Angr/comhrá 16:29, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Historical misinformation. Loki was the ON god of fire (his name means fire).  When Loki has an eating contest against fire in the Fooling of Gylfi, it's not against Alshander.  The name is not ON. Geogre 02:38, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Google search points to title as being alternative spelling for Scots name "Alexander" --Simon Cursitor 07:57, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
