Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Norwegian diaspora (2nd nomination)
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
