Björn the Pale

Doesn't assert notability. I can't find any meaningful mention of this person/character that isn't a mirror of this page. The page for Gísla saga doesn't mention Bjorn, so he must not be of particular importance in this mythology, and the mentioned characters don't have their own pages. This page has sat here as is for 7 years without anything being made of it. Conical Johnson (talk) 20:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete – Possible hoax, but not notable regardless.  American Eagle  ( talk ) 21:38, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment There is a Bjorn in the saga that fits the bill by getting defenestrated by a borrowed sword, referred to as Graysteel, although the owner refers to it as his chopper. The name of the character is rendered as  Bjorn the Black in the two translations linked in the Gisli article that I had a quick look at (this 1866 translation  and a more modern translation here), but it doesn't look like that he would be considered a major character, as he is dispatched in the first chapter, which is essentially a prologue to the main story.

 * Merge significant enough to be added to the summary of the story, with a redirect. Cnbtral figure of the first episode. DGG (talk) 22:08, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
