i have removed the original content of this article due to it being fairly nonsensical:
"So far there is only one mention of a so called Norse Dragon in mythology. In Norse myths, the world will end by a dragon called Ragnarok. Ragnarok will release Fenrir from his chains, and cause a battle between the gods. Fenrir will then swallow the sun and leave a bleak darkness. Loki will fight against Ragnarok, but fail leaving complete darkness, for Ragnarok will also swallow the rest of the gods."
this seems to be someones imagination mixing names and events from Norse mythology into their own fairytale. article now links to "Nidhogg" article (the name of the "norse dragon")
There is strong cultural overlap on this topic among the Germanic peoples. Fafnir, one of the most famous dragons discussed here is part of a tradition attested in English, German and North Germanic sources. The page is more in depth and contains essentially all the information in this page with the exception of some references to which sagas have dragons which could be added to the new page. -- Ingwina ( talk) 21:39, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. "Germanic" better reflects the scope of the article (see also the section #Merger#Germanic dragon above and the big expansion/rewrite of late February [1]). There's less certainty about the remainder of the title – the default option remains Germanic dragon, but editors should feel free to move again after further formal or informal discussion at any time.

Norse dragon → Germanic dragon – There is strong cultural overlap on this topic among the Germanic peoples regarding the role, appearance and terminology. Fafnir, one of the most famous dragons discussed here is part of a tradition attested in English, German and North Germanic sources. The term "Germanic" over "Norse" is the grouping used in pages such as "Dragon" and "European dragon" while also allowing us to cover dragons such as that in Beowulf, Niblungenlied and later Northumbrian folklore (which shares a lot of features with Norse dragons) so it is my preferred term (making Norse dragon a redirect.)
