Barcode Project

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This page has a misleading title and the sources show that it is a duplicate of content at Bjørvika. The latter has the full context, including explanation of the name of the locale; all that is needed is to update it with references to the sources listed here and the list of projected new buildings.

 * Merge to Fjord City, the urban renewal project that this is part of. If kept, move the title to just about anything else.  Mandsford (talk) 12:55, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep while I admit the article isn't particularly well-written, the scope of the article is highly notable. The Barcode Project has been subject to a massive amount of media attention and public debate, probably second only to the Oslo Opera House of all the projects in the Fjord City. Examples of media articles include, , , , , and . The are hordes more as well, as any news search will show; there is no problem writing a full-length article about Barcode. The Barcode Project makes up only part of Bjørvika (which will also house several large cultural institutions and additional housing and office space, plus a lot of transport infrastructure). The development of Bjørvika is again only a fraction of Fjord City, so a merger would result in undue weight in the target articles. The name of the buildings and the project is "Barcode", so a name change with a disambiguaton, such as "Barcode, Oslo" might be appropriate. Arsenikk  (talk)  20:49, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * That's very persuasive. I have moved the article to Barcode Project (Oslo) and hereby withdraw my deletion proposal. I am going to attempt to close this accordingly.Yngvadottir (talk) 19:50, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
