[edit] Epirotic

Epirotic (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

POV fork of Tosk Albanian, designed to promote irredentist nationalist ideologies regarding an Albanian claim to Epirus. Entirely unreferenced as to its central claim that "Epirotic" is a common designation of Albanian language varieties and that Albanian speakers are "the"(!) natives of Epirus. The external link is to a 17th-century document and lacks discussion in reliable secondary sources; all the rest about Arvanitika, Arbereshe etc. is already treated elsewhere.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete Inherently POV, and I don't think that could be solved. Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 05:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete seems somewhat redundant. Marlith T/C 05:49, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. No reliable references and POV.147.175.98.213 (talk) 00:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment from nominator: On second thoughts, it might also be a solution to simply redirect the page to Epirus. That way, we don't have POV problems, and the redirect target will make it clear that there are both Greek- and Albanian-related concepts that this adjective might apply to. Should have thought of it earlier. In this sense, you might consider this nomination retracted. Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Eh, whatever. Assuming that the huge multitudes of previous delete voters won't really mind, I'll just IAR and redirect the thing now. Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:10, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
