I am proposing a blank-and-redirect of these two articles to Norwegian and Swedish Travellers. Both articles are clear content forks of this much longer and more comprehensive article on the broader ethnic group. Both articles were previously redirects until they were both turned into stubs (Sweden, Norway). Dan 23:26, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]


The article can expanded from the Swedish article

Keep. Romani people are a recognize minority in Sweden:

Norwegian and Swedish Travellers are just a subgroup. It doesn't talk about Romani people and Romani history in those countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.192.81.61 (talk) 00:56, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I disagree with the characterisation of this article as merely a content fork. While Norwegian and Swedish Travellers is the more ambitious article, Romani people in Sweden has a different – in some ways much broader – scope. Speaking from the Swedish perspective, the Norwegian and Swedish Travellers are a specific group who have lived in Sweden for hundreds of years. Romani people in Sweden covers all Romani, including many who have immigrated to Sweden in the last century and who aren't part of the Norwegian and Swedish Travellers. Information about the latter doesn't fit into the Norwegian and Swedish Travellers article. /Julle (talk) 12:34, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep per arguments above. --Artene50 (talk) 23:37, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the above explanations, this is an overlapping article with Swedish Travellers not a redundant fork. Eluchil404 (talk) 08:20, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
