Talk:Julekalender

Redirect

I can hardly see why this has been made into a redirect. The term Julekalender is a generic term in Danish for a tv series in 24 episodes broadcast from December 1 to December 24, and is NOT the same as the Norwegian (or Danish) Julekalender the Julekalender (note the definite article). I therefore recommend we keep the general article about Julekalendere. Snailwalker | talk 14:00, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

I have changed the redirect to what I think is a more appropriate target The Julekalender. If that is also incorrect, and you can provide reliable sources to support the notability of this particular term, please do so and feel free to undo the redirect. But until sources verify the notability, it should stay as a redirect to the existing article. Also, please confirm the correct spelling (Julekalendere or Julekalender). -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 15:38, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

I can only give you Danish sources, see eg. da:Julekalender (Google translation here). The problem is that we do not use the definite article the in Danish but rather appends en or et so the definite article of julekalender would be julekalenderen and the indefinite plural form julekalendere. The joke with the tv series The Julekalender was that they used a mix of Danish and English in the series and thus also used the definite article from English the. The conclusion is thus that the Julekalender is the name of a "julekalender" tv series and julekalender is the generic term for this form of tv series or advent calendars.

Do you feel that Julekalender by itself is notable enough for inclusion on the English Wikipedia? Not everything is another language Wikipedia meets notability requirements for the English version. I would think that if there are no English sources of information about it, perhaps it is not notable to English readers. Might that fall under WP:NOTDICT anyway? -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 17:27, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
