[edit] Indzhe

Unverifiable information. Note that Googling the subject appears to be more to be a geographical location. - Mailer Diablo 11:19, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep M. Petrov's book Narodni pesni za Indzhe voivoda claims that he was one of the most famous voivode when Bulgaria was under Turkish rule during the Middle Ages. Possibly turn into a dab page with location? PS do I hear you asking What's a voivode? Dlyons493 Talk 12:01, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes. ;) - Mailer Diablo 12:06, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
    • New to me too - one lives and learns :-). Cyrillic for his name would be ИНДЖЕ ΒОЙВОДА but I'm not getting any hits on that. Needs to be in lowercase apparently - индже войвода gets 20K Bulgarian hits. Dlyons493 Talk 12:17, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
  • You could have linked directly to voivod. ☺ Uncle G 13:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete without prejudice, or keep if cleaned up during AfD. There's some indication the person is notable (he's also mentioned on Hajduk, by the way), but the present article is completely useless. bg:Индже войвода is about the placename - no preference as to how to handle the disambig if that should also be created.

  • Comment I've stubbed it as best I can - could it be flagged as needing a Bulgarian speaker to move it on? Dlyons493 Talk 15:38, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Good job with the stubbing - it's now quite apparent he's notable and verifiable. Still needs a check from a native speaker, though. Sandstein 19:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. As a Bulgarian I can confirm his notability. He's one of the most famous rebel leaders from the period (the Ottoman rule was not in the Middle Ages). Googling may not help that much since his name may also be spelled in English as Indje, Inje, Indze, etc. The article does need a cleanup and more work, but it should be kept. Also, the Bulgarian Wikipedia for some reason doesn't have an article on the man, but that place is named in honour of the guy. Todor→Bozhinov 19:59, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• keep the rewrite. Well done. — brighterorange (talk) 20:21, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, obviously. Also, an admin can close this now, I think. I have had occasion before to remark on the WP:BIAS that creeps in when googling names from an alien culture which can be rendered into English - ie the Roman script- several different ways. Please keep that in mind when nominating or voting on AfDs where the titles are East European, Arabic, Persian or Hindi. Hornplease 06:11, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• My concerns have been addressed, and the article has far improved since. I henceforth withdraw the nomination. Well done! - Mailer Diablo 07:00, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
