Largest metropolitan areas in the Nordic countries

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I don't think it's a useful list, as we already have a very similar one: List of urban areas in the Nordic countries - so either Delete or Merge this to List of urban areas in the Nordic countries.

 * Keep: No reason given for deletion. Since when "I don't think it's an useful list" is a deletion rationale? List of urban areas in the Nordic countries contains only population information, while this one contains both population, area and density information, so if anything it's the latter which needs merging here. -- Cycl o pia talk  18:17, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I wanted to open a merge discussion, not a deletion duscussion, but that simply doesn't exist. But I guess that you agree with me that these two lists should be merged into one? :) Spatulli (talk) 18:23, 31 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. This seems an odd and ORish way to present such a discussion. Jclemens (talk) 18:47, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. An "urban area" and a "metropolitan area" are the same thing, as far as I know.  Both articles have useful information that needs to be included in a single article.  See Help:Merging for instructions on how to set up a proper merge discussion on the talk page of the article, which is the appropriate location for a merge discussion.

 * Comment I guess an AfD wasn't the proper thing to do - as my intention was to propose a merger, not necessarily a deletion. I'm withdrawing, sorry for the mess. Spatulli (talk) 19:37, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
