Hi,

Yes, it's not generally considered proper to delete primary references and not cite as a reference an article that is essentially being translated.

I figure it is sometimes OK to reference other Wiki articles, unless there is a controversial claim that is disputed by other scholarly sources, then that needs to be mentioned.

Just my opinion

But shouldn't the English Wikipedia be cited as a reference? And shouldn't direct quotes, like the Old Norse text in this article, be sourced to their origin?

So, what do you reference pedants have to say about all this? :)
