List of former municipalities of Norway

 * Notified: Punkmorten, WikiProject Norway

The FL criteria has evolved since 2006, while this article remains constant. There is nothing unencylopedic with the article, and it is referenced, but it cannot be said to any more represent our finest work. In particular,

 * It starts with "this is a list of..."
 * First paragraph is a single sentence
 * The whole lead needs a copyedit (for instance misuse of hyphen, linking of committee).
 * It is rather irritating that the number of ladested are not specified.
 * The lead talks about 1 January 2008 as in the future
 * The lead seems more like speculation than historical cover. Five years ago there was a lot of talk about municipal mergers, and some mention of this would be nice, I would like to see more detailed cover of the Schei Committee, which after all was responsible for most of the municipal mergers.
 * Perhaps mention that in Norway, the entire country (minus outlaying territories) are divided into municipalities, as many countries operate with a system of unincorporated areas.
 * Also, it would be nice with a short section on what a municipality is (a branch of government, main responsibilities etc)
 * The Flakstad, Hole, Tolga and Os affairs is all unreferenced
 * Table is unsortable
 * A single table, with a county column, would be more appropriate
 * We have an article called Namsos herred, but I cannot see it on the list. Either the article is wrong, or this list is wrong.
 * Sævik too, but I haven't found a reference for any of them. Geschichte (talk) 13:25, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * References lack accessdates
 * Any possibilities of maps or images?
 * Delist as it severely lacks citations. Nergaal (talk) 18:51, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delist' - As stated it lacks citations, also worth a note to anyone looking to work on this, I don't understand the heading "Fate" seems kind of odd. Afro  ( Talk ) 00:59, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delist I agree with pretty much everything Arsenikk has said, and no work has been done to save this since nomination (nearly two weeks have elapsed). The Rambling Man (talk) 19:42, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
