Sandviken (municipality)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Sandviken has never been a municipality. Not mentioned here (a statistic on all current and historic municipalities in the region) nor here (a paper on all municipality mergers). I believe it was a part of Bergen landdistrikt. Geschichte (talk) 20:23, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems this should be merged with Sandviken Municipality. The Norwegian (bokmål)‬ article seems valid. --Oakshade (talk) 04:12, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Eh... no merge. The two articles are about places in two different countries. Geschichte (talk) 08:37, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - My bad. Didn't notice it was the wrong country. Thryduulf has good point about ~~merging~~ redirecting below.--Oakshade (talk) 15:10, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Redirecting is ok, after deletion. Geschichte (talk) 15:52, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- If this article is deleted, it would make sense to redirect this title to the article about the Swedish municipality. If it isn't they should be linked by hatnotes. Thryduulf (talk) 09:10, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Redirect per Thryduulf. I'd say merge to Bergen landdistrikt, but there isn't much here to merge. The redirect makes more sense going to the Swedish town than to Bergen, though hatnotes may be the better option. UltraExactZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 17:15, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a hoax. I honestly don't see the need for a redirect (it isn't really a plausible search term). Note that Sandviken is a highly real place (I have lived there myself) and is covered by the article Sandviken, Norway. Arsenikk ^(talk) 10:08, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
