Your request was for a "Old Norse wikipedia page"; Wikipedia does in fact have an article about the Old Norse language in several editions, including English Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Norse

If you were in fact asking about having an edition of Wikipedia written in the Old Norse language, then Gerard's response explains that we don't generally create new Wikipedia editions in extinct languages.

Hoi,
The existing policy of the Language Committee does not allow for extinct
languages. Sorry but no.
Thanks,
