Sounds madeup or a hoax, can't find anything via Google on this cultural period. VivioFateFan (Talk, Sandbox) 13:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: The title of this article is certainly a neologism in English. It might have been better off leaving the Norwegian untranslated; that would at least clue in readers that this is about Norway. The Norwegian article, no:Stavangerrenessansen, seems to be a passable stub that gives two sources. Norwegian is one of those languages you can sort of understand, if you shout a lot and wave your hands; the older source over there uses the Norwegian language title; and the other one appears to be a reliable article from a magazine about historical conservation. I suspect that this article ought to be merged somewhere: either to Stavanger#History, Stavanger Cathedral, or Gamle Stavanger.

- Keep - and change title to "Stavanger Renaissance" (the long compound word looks strange to an English eye, which may be what aroused suspicions of a hoax). It's not a hoax (I've taken off the tag) - it's a more or less straight translation of the Norwegian article, and I think it's a reasonable stub, with some possibilities for development.

- Keep and move to the Norwegian title. Relata refero (talk) 19:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
