Fridn

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

I think this article is a hoax. It is an unlikely story - I have never heard of an "Old English" migration to north Norway, enough to establish an "ethnic group"; and I would have expected an author who knew this much to give more detail of linguistic family than just "English, German, or another form of Germanic language." That's not conclusive; more serious is that no references are given, and I can find none: see Google Scholar for Fridn or for the two other forms given, Firdosk and Fridisc. Nothing relevant in Google, either, or in either of the Norwegian WPs. The article was created on 3 Sep by SPA author ; it was tagged "unreferenced" before the author's last edit, but in 8 weeks s/he has not supplied any, or made any other edits at all. Delete as probable hoax, certainly unverifiable. JohnCD (talk) 22:45, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as hoax. With no sources given, no hard information to go on, and the number of independent ghits that substantiates this (big fat zero), let's throw this one back.  --Lockley (talk) 20:00, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as unverifiable. There are no sources supporting the article content. -- Whpq (talk) 15:35, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
