Talk:Urðr

Merge with Wyrd

Oppose. This article is about a goddess, not the Germanic concept of fate. There is much room for expansion here. :bloodofox: (talk) 20:04, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Oppose. They just don't seem like cohabitable concepts. More appropriate would be a merge with Verðandi and Skuld to a Skuld, Urðr, and Verðandi article, or on the radical side a merge of the three with Norn, but not with Wyrd. LokiClock (talk) 18:48, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

it's not worth fighting over. I just note that the split did not seem to warrant prior discussion, and how the promised "more to add soon" is still cited as "much room for expansion" 18 months later without any signs that it is forthcoming any time soon. The suggestion is to merge due to the extreme brevity of both articles, not because the concepts are identical. Obviously, as soon as somebody actually does expand coverage, the articles can by all means be split again. I just don't see the reason to split an article into stubs before anybody bothers to expand them.

I sympathize with LokiClock's suggestion to merge into Norns, that would be fine too. --dab (𒁳) 11:32, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

So you're complaining that I haven't yet extended the article. I'm afraid you're going to have to continue to hold your breath for a while longer. Care to take the time to do it yourself? :bloodofox: (talk) 16:25, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Merge with Norns

• Oppose. If we're going to merge these articles, this trio needs to be handled together (as in a new article titled Skuld, Urðr, and Verðandi) and not clumped into our Norns article (which, by the way, could use a rewrite). Clumping them all together will just result in yet another confused mess. The specific trio have a substantial amount of theory surrounding them, and both the Urðr and Skuld articles could be extended into decent-sized GA articles solely based off of "theory" sections. There's plenty to write about, as a simple look at the usual sources will dictate. If we're going to merge anything here, I suggest that putting the trio together would be the best idea (as suggested by LokiClock). :bloodofox: (talk) 16:25, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
• Tough question, I don't know what's the best way to organize this. But if we do merge the three nornir in question the order of names should be the traditional Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld. I see that the Icelandic Wikipedia has done it that way - is:Urður, Verðandi og Skuld. Haukur (talk) 16:36, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. :bloodofox: (talk) 17:15, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

the best solution would probably indeed be merging all of these into Norns. --dab (𒁳) 08:24, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Confusion

"Urth" redirects to this article with a link to a disambiguation page. The disambiguation page is, however, NOT for "Urth", but for "Urd".

"Urth" is the name of the planet in Gene Wolfe's tetrology and sequel "The Urth of the New Sun", but that isn't isn't even mentioned in the disambiguation page, which is for "Urd" and not for "Urth".

It's a mess. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.253 (talk) 01:14, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
