Republic of Norway

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an unsourced stub predicting the name of Norway if it ever becomes a republic (it's currently a monarchy), followed by equally predictions of riots and the overthrow of the monarchy upon the death of the current King, all written in 10 minutes by user:Eivindgh. It was shortly thereafter redirected to Norway by user:4ing with the rationale WP:Crystal ball. In my opinion the redirect to Norway is misleading, particularly as Republicanism in Norway is a redlink and Norwegian Republican Alliance (the closest match I've found, and the only post-1945 Norwegian organisation in Category:Republicanism in Norway) is described as a "minor political party" based in one county. I've nominated this here and not at RfD because there it would almost certainly be closed with consensus to revert and nominate the text of the article at AfD (a course of action I've recommended on several occasions and would do on this if nominated by someone else.

 * Delete per nom. Classic crystal balling, and more than a touch of POV-pushing as well, I'd suspect. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:13, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
