2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Delete?[edit]

I'm not sure how many of us can read Norwegian, but unless more than one regular editor can verify that any of this is true, we really shouldn't have an article about it. PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?.Moderator 13:35, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Well, at least the site exists and the characterization as a woo site appears to be accurate - just looking at their main page, I see mentions of chemtrails, Thrive, season 4 of Ancient Aliens, 2012 and "Hitlers økonomiske mirakel". Unless it's acutally a skeptic site...--ZooGuard (talk) 16:32, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
I am not comfortable with deleting this article. I actually think this could be an entry point for Norwegians. Rand0 (talk) 00:33, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
Well, then hopefully the Viking hordes that you think it will attract have decent editing skills. PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?.Moderator 01:48, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
I'm hoping so. BTW, we're one of the first hits that shows up when you type "Nyhetsspeilet" into Google or Startpage (in the United States), but not if you type it into Bing, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo. Rand0 (talk) 03:40, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
I would vote keep if the article were well-written with some actual content. As it stands, it's not even stubworthy. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 03:56, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
It could be an entry point for Norwegian users, that was kinda the point. I was planning on filling it out, and saturating it with links to some of the excellent articles on this wiki, so that it could be of some use to someone. It does have a translate icon on the front page, because they want to spread their theories to a large audience. Please bear with me, I'm new to wikis! Morecomplicated
It appears to work as an entry point. I'm terribly sorry for not being very good at editing, but at least I'm Norwegian. Best wishes, 217.168.83.42
