Speedy deletion nomination of East Germany–Iceland relations

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on East Germany–Iceland relations, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:27, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

English variety

Hello, I noticed you changed back my edit on Þingvellir, where I changed the word 'centre' back to 'center' after you had changed it from 'center' to 'centre'. Is there a good rationale why the variety of english was changed? If there is, great, otherwise, it should stay in the variety of english that the article was started in (in this case 'center').

As far as I know all Iceland-related articles use British English. I don't know who came up with that on Wikipedia but I guess it must be related to the fact that Iceland officially prefers British English and it's closer to the United Kingdom.

Howdy, S.Örvarr.S - I've been slowly converting all of the "List of companies of XXX" to a more robust format so that they're at least a little more useful. Basically something like this. I'm working my way to List of companies of Iceland and would like to make sure you're okay with the format before I do anything. Frankly, it isn't too far off as it is - you've already got the location and ICB cats in there.

Proposed deletion of Ambassador of Iceland to East Germany

The article Ambassador of Iceland to East Germany has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is literally nothing but a list of six red-linked names; the obvious parent article East Germany–Iceland relations doesn't even exist, as it was deleted as an implausible redirect itself.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Axlar-Björn

Hello S.Örvarr.S,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Axlar-Björn for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Tricameralism

Hi. I don't think it's useful to describe the Icelandic parliament before 1991 as tricameral. Most bicameral parliaments have some form of joint sessions and these joint sessions are never regarded as an actual third chamber. Real tricameralism refers to three separate chambers without overlapping membership. --31.209.151.108 (talk) 21:50, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think that no-overlapping membership as a requirement is too strict. As a wrote in the article Tricameralism, what you call joint sessions took over many of the functions of the lower and upper chambers in the mid-20th century with its own committee system. The literature that I have come across, all in Icelandic unfortunately, as a student of political science indicates that scholars consider the system to range from a 2.5 chamber system to a 3 chamber system as time progressed in the 20th century. Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson (talk) 09:23, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think there is a misunderstanding here. All sources I find about this use the word 'málstofa' which does not refer to a separate chamber but a separate category of parliamentary session. That is also the meaning of this word in other contexts, it refers to meetings. There were two chambers (deild) but these two chambers can combine in three different kinds of parliamentary sessions (málstofa). Like I said, most bicameral legislatures have some form of joint sessions that may have a special role beyond that of each chamber individually. That Althingi operated mostly in a joint session doesn't make it tricameral. Joint committees are even a thing in bicameral legislatures and don't change the nature of the body to a tricameral parliament. --157.157.245.130 (talk) 11:58, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Those two concepts, málstofa and deild, are rather ambiguous and often used somewhat interchangeably. If you search online for neðri málstofa you will find news articles referring to the lower house of the British Parliament as such. The dictionary ordabok.is also defines málstofa to mean house as in lower and upper houses. Sameinað Alþingi goes way beyond a joint session as it was permanent, just like the chambers; i.e. it was not just a meeting which the two chambers called to when there was a special need but a permanent office with its own president (forseti sameinaðs Alþingis). Another thing to consider is that Sameinað Alþingi could pass things on its own whereas a joint session of the US Congress can only do ceremonial things. When joint committees in the US Congress consider a bill, which is not that common, they must refer their changes back to the individual chambers for confirmation whereas the committees of Sameinað Alþingi did not have to do so. What we seem to have here is a chamber in all but name. Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson (talk) 21:18, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion at Talk:Foreman Thuridur

I invite you to please join the discussion at Talk:Foreman Thuridur.

Hello, I am seeking help with the Foreman Thuridur article, recently translated from is:Þuríður formaður, and the discussion on its talk page. I am writing to you because you are in Category:User is-N and you are either part of WikiProject Iceland, interested in translating, or have been active on the Icelandic or English Wikipedias or other Wikimedia projects.

I realize that some of you are very busy (especially the admins), while others may no longer be editing. Nevertheless, I thought it wise to consult with you.

Thank your for whatever work that you do on Wiki[mp]edia! Peaceray (talk) 05:58, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Defunct standing committees of the Icelandic parliament

A tag has been placed on Category:Defunct standing committees of the Icelandic parliament indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Proposed deletion of Comparison of layout engines (XHTML 1.1)

The article Comparison of layout engines (XHTML 1.1) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

XHTML is no longer relevant enough to need a layout engine comparision and most of the engines listed are no longer under active development. Blink (Chromium's engine which has the highest market share) isn't even mentioned once. The article is outdated beyond repair.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:01, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
