Norwegian Argentine

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

are there any reliable sources that prove the article subject is notable? Norwegian Argentines do not even feature on the top 46 by birth. the Norwegian version of this article says pretty much the same. perhaps someone could search in Spanish? because I couldn't find anything in English.

 * Comment - I do not know about Norwegians, but the Finnish settlement in Argentina is notable, not because of their numbers, but because of the utopian communities they established. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 09:29, 11 May 2009 (UTC) P.S. Here is a link to info on Colonia Finlandesa: Spanish Finnish. Th Finnish article fi:Suomalaiset ihanneyhteisöt says it had 500 colonists. Did Norway have anything like this? -- Petri Krohn (talk) 13:11, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment based on what the embassy has to say, notability seems doubtful: (in Spanish) --- 300 Norwegians, the first ones came on merchant ships, and most of the Norwegians who live there say they don't know any other Norwegians --- i.e. no community, so no community functions, organisations, or gatherings that might attract the attention of academics or journalists interested in expats/immigrants. Most Scandinavian immigration to Argentina would appear to be Swedish, not Norwegian. Haven't dug too deeply into the GHits yet though ... bunch of permutations of "norueg@(s) * en/a/de argentina/buenos aires/etc.". cab (talk) 13:26, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete after some additional searching, the only thing I managed to find is a brief mention in a profile of an architect about a church for Norwegian sailors built in Buenos Aires in 1918, and later demolished; there don't seem to be any in-depth newspaper articles or scholarly papers about this community, so we can't write a Wikipedia article about them. cab (talk) 01:55, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
