This has been speedy deleted once, but someone has recreated it. I say delete because Norwegian first names do not make good encyclopedic topics. (I believe there is a policy for this one.) Sjakkalle 11:53, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Feel free to delete it. I recreated it because i believed i just had made a mistake on the first one. Sorry for the inconvenience. --Forconin 12:03, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Move to Wiktionary. They're happy to take entries for given names. —Korath (Talk) 12:14, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Forconin if you want to make an article on a given name, its original language and meaning, and its etymology, please go directly to Wiktionary:Eivind and do so, right now if you like. You'll save us the hassle of transwikification by submitting your content directly to Wiktionary. (A list of people with that given name is just padding, by the way. You don't need that padding to justify a dictionary article on a name.) You can even then list it on Wiktionary:Wiktionary Appendix:First names male e. Here on Wikipedia, articles on names are either navigational aids (Madonna, Cher) or articles about people/things commonly known by only one name (Houdini, Dannii, Britney). We tend to discuss the people/places/concepts/things that the names represent here in the encyclopaedia, and the words themselves in the dictionary. (Compare Wiktionary:cher with the above, for example.) Hopefully presupposing that you will make a contribution to Wiktionary directly, I'm voting Delete. Uncle G 19:29, 2005 Apr 13 (UTC)
