How the gnomes disappeared from the Campine

Not enough to meet WP:NOTABILITY, no foreign-lang WP articles I can mine for info. Perhaps someone with better linguistic skills could prove me wrong? Boleyn (talk) 17:15, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. There is a story about this at Gnome King Kyrië, but I don't see where it's this particular story. From what I can see, the gnomes disappeared because of the death of Kyrië, although the thing about folklore is that if you have one story then odds are there are ten others that tell a slightly or completely different tale.

 * And therein is the difficulty with folklore: because there are so many different versions that are handed down orally, it's exceptionally hard to show notability for or verify anything other than the most mainstream of the stories. (Especially if the stories are told in another language.) I don't doubt that this is a folklore story since it reads like one, but I just don't entirely know where it'd pass notability guideline.
