Talk:Icelandic nationalism

message: I think that this article in itself should not exist as such, since there's not very much to say about icelandic nationalism... it's pretty much like any other nationalism, even though it's called "þjóðernishyggja" over there... I suggest we put the icelandic translation for nationalism in wiktionary, and create a different article called "Nationalism in Iceland" and possibly a seperate one, "(The) Organisation of Icelandic nationalists" - "Félag íslenskra þjóðernissinna"... Just an Idea SirIbus 21:04, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Delete this article?

message: This article really stinks. Þjóðernishyggja is not specifically Icelandic nationalism as indicated by the intro, it just means nationalism. Icelandic nationalism is far older than WWII and has had nothing to do with nazis for ost of its lifetime. --Bjarki 13:31, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well then someone re-broke it, because it's still full of shit. If nobody can even attempt to be factual in writing this article, it should be deleted. --4.131.2.140 16:22, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Decrapifying needed 

message: I altered the text rather heavily to conform to my own ideas about the concepts in question. I also removed Jón Sigurðsson, since he has no place here. He was the schoolbook example of a patriot, but not a nationalist. Feel free to alter or dispute. Cheers Io 16:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Nationalism, patriotism and Jón Sigurðsson

message: Face it guys, the article was trash as it was, with an abundance of extranious material. I took the liberty of removing it. As the article stands now, it might be a candidate for deletion, but better that than the load of horsemanure, that was there before. Cheers Io 17:22, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Another drastic edit

message: After my, admittedly heavy-handed edits, there remains very little to be said about the subject (hence the removal of the Stub-tag) and in what there remains there is very little room for factual debates (hence the other removal). Cheers Io 17:29, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed Stub and Factuality disputed

message: Would someone with a better knowledge of Wikipedia procedures than I have, put up a tag with either a Vote for deletion or alternatively Article needs major rewriting? All the best Io 17:54, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Delete or clean drastically

message: There is no reason for having a special article on Icelandic nationalism.  I vote that this article be deleted in its entirety. -- Palthrow 07:28, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: This article should be deleted

message: I would argue that there's simply no such thing specifically as Icelandic nationalism any more than any nation of their own hold nationalism. I'd say that whoever authored this article does not fully understand the term nationalism, that Icelanders have in no way, directly or indirectly, invented nationalism on their own. Not any more than any nation in any case. On the subject of whether nationalism existed in Iceland in the 9th or 10th centuries, I say it's simply ridiculous. Running away from an oppressive monarch is no novelty and there is little or none display of feeling apart from other Norwegians, in other sense than geographically and, for a while, somewhat politically. The term nationalism bears little meaning until the French revolution in 1789 and the Icelandic adaptation of the idea is no less a direct consequence than any other nations' rise of nationalism in the 19th century.
I vote for the page's deletion.

replies: text: As the revisor (and actually writer) of most of the article, I can assure you that I do understand the word. The article is bad now, but it was truly horrendous before and shouldnd't be there in the first place. But I did try to polish it a bit, and with no modesty at all, I think it is a bit better for it. As it happens, it was also I who brought up the request for deletion. Otherwise I agree with you. Cheers Io 03:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Support deletion of this article.  It's redundant -- there's nothing special or remarkable about Icelandic nationalism that warrants an article devoted exclusively to it. -- Palthrow 21:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
