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