The result was speedy delete because obvious hoaxes are vandalism. And this was an obvious hoax. It purported to define ragnad as an army sufficiently large to tip the balance in a war with the gods, relating this to Ragnarök. Now, Ragnarök means "fate" or "twilight of the gods"; this would make ragnad mean "D of the gods". Make of that what you will. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:06, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I can't find any information online to verify the existence of this concept, which is purportedly found in Norse mythology. I would expect some scholarly hits. Gonzonoir (talk) 18:27, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

The other edits in Special:Contributions/Alt-samuel-fritz do not bode well for this article. ☺ Searching, I can find no indication that this is even a word in English at all, let alone one that denotes the concept stated. This seems to be pure invention from thin air on the part of a Wikipedia editor, in contravention of our Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research policies.
