First Battle of Telemark

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

An article about a viking battle that noone knows if has taken place, nor where og when it took place, nor if the alleged combattants ever has excisted. The only source to this possible battle is the legendary saga Gautreks saga, which only by a competent reader can be used as a historical source in some, limited areas. It should be an indicator that norwegian wp doesn't have an article on this subject. If not deleted, I suggest merge and/or redirect to Gautreks saga. Bw, Orland (talk) 18:56, 8 March 2009 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related pages because the relate to the same legendary king, and the same saga:

 * Redirect and (possibly) merge to Gautreks saga - if part of a larger saga, it may as well be in there, unless so expansive and in-depth that a split was needed (which isn't the case here). - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 19:17, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd say delete, fictional battle. It doesn't seem to be a central part of Gautreks saga so merger probably isn't right here. As for redir, there has been a lot of battles in Telemark, and I see no reason why this should be called "the first" or "the second". Battle at Lake Vænir could be a redir imo.

 * Redirect to Gautreks saga. I agree with Lilac Soul's reasoning.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  22:07, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, or at least redirect/merge. I agrees with Orland's arguments. --FinnWiki (talk) 22:37, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
