Deletion of Norwegian diaspora (2nd nomination)

Comment: as |synthesis or '''merge''' to Norwegian_people#Historic_migration_out_of_Norway|Norwegian people#Historic migration out of Norway. The first sentence of the article is classic synthesis (i.e. putting two dicdef's together to arrive at new topic), and the rest of the article of ain't much better. I need to see |evidence that more handful of reliable sources have made more than a passing reference to a "Norwegian dispora" before I'm inclined to believe this is a notable topic that deserves its own article

Comment: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a dictionary, so our concern is not with the phrase "Norwegian diaspora" but with the phenomenon. Looking at our category "Diasporas", I see 183 subcategories and 17 articles about the general phenomenon of emigration and emigrant communities originating from various places.  Margaret Clunies Ross, who has edited the scholarly works ''Old Norse Myths, Literature '''and Society''''' and ''Old Icelandic Literature '''and Society''''' is a distinguished scholar with major work  published by CUP; I fail to understand why the nom wants us to dismiss her as "an Australian professor of Norse Poetry" whose words on Norwegian diaspora bear no authority. From reading the article's talk page and its history, it seems to me that RAN's effort to write on this topic has indeed turned into a , but the battling doesn't seem to me to be exclusively or even primarily the fault of RAN

Comment: If you have a better title under , suggest a move. I am aware that the term "diaspora" sees excessive use on Wikipedia. "Expatriate community" may be better. So, by all means move this to Norwegian expatriates or Norwegian expatriate community or something, but don't submit stuff to AfD that aren't AfDs

Comment: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Diaspora&oldid=412876982 As of February 11, this was the entire lede on Diaspora: "A diaspora (from Greek διασπορά, "scattering, dispersion"1) is the movement or migration of a group of people, such as those sharing a national and/or ethnic identity, away from an established or ancestral homeland." On February 11, Maunus filed the first AfD against Norwegian diaspora, on February 12 and 13 he http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Diaspora&action=historysubmit&diff=413701818&oldid=412876982 replaced this accurate definition with a much more restrictive one that is now presented to us as the "established" usage Wikipedia articles must honor. This established usage was established less than two weeks ago, cherry-picked out of the universe of all the various definitions in  in order to support wiping out articles that use the word to mean exactly what it used to mean up until February 12

Comment: I'm with the nominator that "diaspora" is not correct in this case, as reflected by the lack of sources, but that the topic itself, under a title such as Emigration from Norway or Communities of Norwegian origin, is notable. The implication in the use of the term "diaspora" of a feeling of exile and wish to return (which derives from the original exclusive use for the Jews) makes it an insulting word when used of some modern communities, notably Iceland; as reflected in the sources, to equate all emigré groups with diaspora is not a modern and acceptable usage, but a blurring of an important distinction and in many cases a great oversimplification of history. Which does indeed fall under . While information on the people of Norwegian heritage in various parts of the world and how and when they got there is encyclopedically valuable, the article should be moved to a more accurate title and distinguish clearly between cases and periods

Comment: per AfD . An article about Norwegian communities outside Norway is without a doubt encyclopedic. The proper forum for concerns about its title and scope is '''Wikipedia:Requested moves'''. Special:Contributions/Victor_falk|''walk

Comment: I agree with User:Yilloslime's suggestion to "''delete'' as |synthesis or ''merge'' to Norwegian_people#Historic_migration_out_of_Norway|Norwegian people#Historic migration out of Norway. The first sentence of the article is classic synthesis (i.e. putting two dicdef's ...".  There's no evidence here of a classic "diaspora", so specifically it is better to simply delete.  Merge any modicum of different info here to the "Historic migration out of Norway section" of the "Norwegian people" article, but then please simply delete this with no redirect
