But the uncertainty associated with the Cimbri is exactly a good reason to refer to "North Germanic" tribes as "Scandinavian tribes", and "Germanic paganism" as "Scandinavian paganism", because thats where it originates - same with Viking culture.

Wikipedia has a section that sums it up pretty effectively:
Cimbri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is uncertainty about whether the Cimbri were Celtic or Germanic; linguistic uncertainty. And there is reason to believe both things.

That is why I suggested we refer to tribes in the Scandinavian peninsula as Scandinavian tribes rather than North Germanic tribes, due to the associated uncertainty about the Cimbri Celtic-Germanic question. There I answered your question:

Why would you prefer to say Scandinavian than Northern Germanic?

Whats more, "Germanic" paganism should be referred to as "Nordic" or "Scandinavian" paganism, since thats where it originates, and not anywhere else in the Germanic areas.
