Scandinavian connections to Mieszko I[edit]

Tagged as unverifiable original research, single refs is to a German-language Google cached page, no equivalent page on Polish (or scandinavians) wikis. Seems like OR based on some hard to verify sources from middle ages... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 19:12, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A theory about Scandinavian roots of Poland merits a separate article, on a par with the Normanist theory of the origins of Russia and Ukraine but what we have here is an archetypal sample of original research. What we need to do at this point is to merge reliable information into Mieszko I. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 19:35, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, don't merge, unless we know what exactly is sourced and what isn't. Citing only a single source means that it is likely most of the article is in the latter category. I'm surprised this wasn't killed in the VfD days; it's been around since 2001. Kimchi.sg 20:29, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. Notable theory. No anti-normanist hysteria, please.--Arzamas2 07:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. OR, and the strong scent of POV-pushing. WMMartin 17:51, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Provisional keep~~ Merge, per Ghirla. This information looks reasonably sound and a notable theory (which this may or may not be) deserves its own article, but the sources (well, source) cited so far are completely useless. I'd hate to lose what we've got so far, however... --Arvedui 03:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
