Lots of public domain material in the language. Understandable for people from the Faroe Islands and Iceland, and in a lesser extent the Scandinavian countries. Sosekopp 13:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Arguments in favour
- Support I'ts happy to see a project in a death Nordic language --M.M.S. 18:12, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support I see there are at least 90 pages of the old norwegian laws on no:s:Norges gamle Love 1, written in Old Norse and probably some more laying around on other nordic wikisources. The only thing that's missing is organizing them into one wikisource. Laaknor 18:40, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support. The amount of Old Norse literature is substantial, there would definitely be enough to put up there. Skadinaujo 16:47, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
- Old Norse has left us more than one language. Imagine that all Old Norse literature is duplicated on 6 wikis! --OosWesThoesBes 17:25, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
- Support. Icelandic and Faroese could understand it, and I believe is a good idea to have the original texts in wikisource. That doesn't excludes the possibility of having them traduced into modern germanic languages. --Norrin strange 08:30, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- I would definitely find this interesting to browse. -- OlEnglish 12:02, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support. A good number of surviving texts, and I have no doubts about the formation of a community. —what a crazy random happenstance 04:18, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Arguments against
- no edit on multilingual Wikisource, where all language projects of Wikisource start, develop etc., -jkb- (cs.source) 13:50, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- obsolete language, german languages are the modern languages, we don' t need project that nobody will search because they are native of german, swedish etc. and no disponible users--Ilaria 13:50, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
- Wow, you totally misunderstand the purpose of Wikisource... Shii 00:01, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
