Barcode Project[edit]

This page has a misleading title and the sources show that it is a duplicate of content at Bjørvika. The latter has the full context, including explanation of the name of the locale; all that is needed is to update it with references to the sources listed here and the list of projected new buildings.

Merge to Fjord City, the urban renewal project that this is part of. If kept, move the title to just about anything else. Mandsford (talk) 12:55, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep while I admit the article isn't particularly well-written, the scope of the article is highly notable. The Barcode Project has been subject to a massive amount of media attention and public debate, probably second only to the Oslo Opera House of all the projects in the Fjord City. Examples of media articles include [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] and [7]. The are hordes more as well, as any news search will show; there is no problem writing a full-length article about Barcode. The Barcode Project makes up only part of Bjørvika (which will also house several large cultural institutions and additional housing and office space, plus a lot of transport infrastructure). The development of Bjørvika is again only a fraction of Fjord City, so a merger would result in undue weight in the target articles. The name of the buildings and the project is "Barcode", so a name change with a disambiguaton, such as "Barcode, Oslo" might be appropriate. Arsenikk ^(talk) 20:49, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's very persuasive. I have moved the article to Barcode Project (Oslo) and hereby withdraw my deletion proposal. I am going to attempt to close this accordingly.Yngvadottir (talk) 19:50, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
