Konge

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Neither linked article refers to "konge", which is (sure enough) the Danish and Norwegian word for "king". I can see that this disambiguation page is a completely good-faith and potentially useful creation, however I am not sure that it is the best approach. — This, that, and the other (talk) 07:44, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like the page was created as a redirect to History of Norway, then became a redirect to History of Denmark, and now it's trying to compromise by linking to both. Neither seems appropriate since, as you say, neither article mentions the term. Perhaps this page could be a soft redirect to Wiktionary's konge? DoctorKubla (talk) 09:09, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This page makes no sense whatsoever to this Norwegian editor. __meco (talk) 09:10, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as the word occurs in the English Wikipedia (in titles of films, books, works of art) and explanations may be needed (e.g. when to use Kong rather than Konge). - Ipigott (talk) 15:39, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP is not a dictionary and certainly not a dictionary of foreign words. There is little need for this page to exist in its current state. CodeTheorist (talk) 13:03, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As stated, WP is not a dictionary or a random listing of foreign words, and there is nothing here worth saving. The links to History of Denmark and History of Norway make little sense for this disambiguous page as well. Rorshacma (talk) 19:01, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Info on how to write Danish/Norwegian is useful, but it doesn't belong in Wikipedia, per WP:NOTDICT and WP:NOTHOWTO. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:59, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There aren't multiple articles or mentions on different topics that could be ambiguous with the title "Konge". -- JHunterJ (talk) 15:27, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
