Lordehytta

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article about a stone hut in Norway. The only source is to a local municipal website. There is insufficient coverage in reliable sources to show this is a notable building, clearly does not meet WP:GNG. Prod was contested, so bringing here for a wider discussion.

 * Keep To be honest, I don't see any benefits for Wikipedia in deleting this kind of information. The article has one good source (I don't see any problems with the 'local' nature of the source, it has nothing to do with reliability of the information). Moreover, the cottage is mentioned in the book Kulturgeschichte des Reisens (Cultural History of Travelling), ISBN 9783896785480, p. 87 (available at G-Books). The information could serve to people travelling in Norway. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 09:26, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep In addition to the brief but interesting mention in the German book adduced by Vejvančický, there are a lot of Norwegian-language hits on the Kvasir search engine. It has some cultural importance. I've improved the English and clarified some things (including the meaning of the name) and added some additional details and inline references. The one English source I found has some mistranslation, but I've added it in support of the basic points. As a point of potential confusion, one source notes that there were several huts in Norway given this name because they were built by either this baron or his father; there is also this one in Seldal, built 30 years later by Edward Theodore Salvesen.
