Geirmund the Noisy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A character in Laxdæla saga, mentioned nowhere else. I would redirect to Laxdæla saga but the character is so minor that even the very extensive synopsis there does not mention him. Haukur (talk) 00:39, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge rather than redirect. A person searching will be puzzled to find him/herself redirected to a page where there is no mention.  Possibly we need People in Laxdæla saga as a means of dealing with people like this.  Such mergers are common in film/TV/novels.  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:39, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I like his name and find that he has a sword called Legbiter. Sounds like he'd fit right in here at AfD, eh?  Anyway, how do I know this when I'd never heard of him before?  That's because the character is covered in sources such as The Conflict of Law and Justice in the Icelandic Sagas, The Laxdœla Saga: Its Structural Patterns; Freeing Keiko: The Journey of a Killer Whale...; &c.  See WP:NEXIST, WP:BITE; WP:QUIET; &c.
 * BITE and QUIET are unnecessarily insulting to the nominator; do you have any real cause for your incivility?   Ravenswing     14:58, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I was puzzled by this too but then I figured he means that Geirmund himself, imaginatively seen here as an AfD participant, should take these to heart. Haukur (talk) 15:11, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Perhaps so! Me, I don't think I'd want to go out of my way to antagonize an armed warrior at my age, but it takes all kinds!   Ravenswing      16:21, 4 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Merge: per Peterkingiron.   Ravenswing     14:58, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge: per Peterkingiron. Information will be preserved and editors wishing to expand it and add RS can do so.  // Timothy ::  talk  16:23, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge I suggest to merge this with related page as already voted above by others.MissiYasında&#38;&#38; (talk) 18:59, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge as suggested originally by Peterkingiron and echoed by other voters. I think it's the reasonable thing to do here, but I don't feel like just repeating what everyone else has already said about it. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:54, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
