 * Comment - deleting this would leave one red link on Template:Wikipedias, when the others are all blue. I've copied some additional information from the Icelandic version, automatically translated then tied up from the Icelandic version. If an Icelandic speaker who sees this could confirm the translation, that'd be great. I don't know that it helps establish notability, which is why I'm not !voting. If it is deleted, for consistency we should review the pages for other language-specific Wikipedias too, in case they fail the same tests. Mortee (talk) 13:24, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - if there is a guideline or previous discussion on articles about small Wikipedias could you link to it, as othewise this seems a rather arbitrary nomination. Eustachiusz (talk) 13:29, 29 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List_of_Wikipedias. The article souces and my searches led to minor coverage in RSes. Fails notability. Happy to reconsider if significant coverage is found.  In 2007 this large group Afd kept all although only a brief mention of this article in particular.  The Template:Wikipedias has a list of other wikipedia that have articles in the English wikipedia.  So when an new article is created or one is deleted the template should be changed.  It's not a complete list of wikipedias.  There are 284 of those.  Gab4gab (talk) 14:33, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect as per above - No evidence of notability however consensus is more or less to redirect these so redirect. – Davey 2010 Talk 18:42, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Wikipedias. I looked into this a bit yesterday, and more today. This topic has not received a great deal of source coverage. Some sources are out there (e.g. ), but the topic does not appear to have received enough coverage to qualify for a standalone article. North America1000 23:15, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I only see room for improvement. Sources for subjects like this one are not going to have a pool of English sources, and it is wrong to assume that the number of English sources indicate the number of sources in other languages. I will happily improve the article and add a few Icelandic sources.
 * I do want to point out though that if the intention is to base strictly upon the notability criteria then even articles on big wikipedias are going to struggle to keep up with that expectation. For example, the article on the Swedish wikipedia contains mainly sources that categorize as being primary sources (hosted on wmf websites) or are "dependant of the subject". If that is the case I want to urge the nominator to nominate all wikipedia articles that fail this criteria.--Snaevar (talk) 00:25, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
