I feel this article should be at Thingvellir, given this is the English Wikipedia and the 'Þ' character doesn't exist in English. Johnhousefriday ( talk) 14:35, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
Belatedly, I believe the article is satisfactorily placed -- also note how it is rendered at its UNESCO WHS entry -- but also that the anglicized names should appear at initial instances (also see prior link); thus, I have added the anglicized names. Craftwerker ( talk) 00:51, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
"'Þ' character doesn't exist in English" — Anyone who says this must've never read Beowulf, but nobody can say that Beowulf isn't written in English. Cédric SAYS NO to anti-diacritic crusades! 20:33, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
The campaign on Wikipedia to include non-English characters is largely a manifestation of linguistic snobbery, by those who consider their erudition superior to those non-polyglots who dare to trespass here. If anyone wants to put it to a formal discussion, I'd support moving this to a true English title, but don't expect to win--the fanatics outnumber the rare English monoglots who might chance to visit here.
