For anyone else reading this...just so you know, towards the bottom of the AfD discussion is quite a large collection of links to foreign-language coverage of this topic, which might be useful for article expansion. The article right now already has a very high number of footnotes in proportion to the amount of prose (that happened mostly in response to the AfD) so I'm not in a rush right now to bombard it with more refs, but they might be useful for future work. (I can deal with the French and Spanish ones, but unfortunately I can't read Danish, so I might not be able to look at those as quickly.) rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 05:45, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
