Grønland (Street)

Hello. I noticed you have found a possible inaccuracy or incompleteness in Wikipedia, when you placed a ProD tag on the article Grønland (Street). You left the following comment:

Grønland tends to refer to a neighbourhood in central Oslo. Though there is a street in that neighbourhood by the same name, that is not what one generally thinks of in this case. This article started with the headline 'Grønland', but was changed later to 'Grønland (street)' by someone who may not have been familiar with Oslo or Norway. I've moved the article back to the original page. This page is not needed, and I propose that it be deleted.

Please note: Wikipedia is a work in progress. The suffix "(Street)" in "Grønland (Street)" reminds the reader this article is about the street, not the neighbourhood. If the neighbourhood is notable, then there may be an article about the neighbourhood - if so, it would be either at Grønland, or Grønland (neighbourhood), or some variation thereof. If both these links do not lead the the appropriate article or are red, feel free to create the article about the neighbourhood yourself. If you choose to do so, you may wish to turn Grønland into a disambiguation page, if it is not already. This article should not be deleted, however, as it does have some significance. If you wish to create the article, you may wish to peruse WP:FIRST and WP:CREATE. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on my talk page, or at the help desk.

Re:Grønland

As I see it, Grønland could refer to multiple entities. In Wikipedia, we generally use disambiguations to resolve issues, like this one, in which one name refers to, or may refer to, multiple things. If the content of the article Grønland (Street) already exists at Grønland, a redirect should be created to direct readers who search for its former title, "Grønland (Street)", to its current title, "Grønland". However, there are complications involved now, most likely caused by copypasting. I believe the correct place to go now is WP:REPAIR. Intelligentsium 01:10, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grønland may refer to Greenland in Danish. Intelligentsium 01:39, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
