it was a phantom country,literally it didn't exist,ever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.32.95 (talk) 13:53, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] POV

This entity was not a state - it didn't really exist (no control exerted). It was only claimed by its bodies. --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 16:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I think this article should be merged with the article about Kosova. --Tubesship (talk) 12:55, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

if anywhere, to 20th century history of Kosovo#The_1990s, since this is part of the 1990s history of Kosovo. Depends on how notable this "Republic" was. I tend to agree it should be merged pending the citation of better references establishing its notability. Armed Forces of the Republic of Kosova would also be an arguable merge target, since this is apparently a phantom state postulated in this self-designation of a guerilla group. dab (𒁳) 15:53, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
That sounds reasonable. Go for it. --Tubesship (talk) 16:10, 2 April 2008 (UTC) I reconsidered what Chaldean wrote and therefore I think it is better to merge it into the article of "Kosovo".
    • Suppport because the new DOI is proclaimed under the name "Republic of Kosova" and thus this article needs to be updated. Kosova2008 (talk) 22:16, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Support--TheFEARgod (Ч) 17:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose It's a notable historical entity. It did not control the entirety of Kosovo and was more or less just a parallel government. In that sense it should be considered in the context of other historical parallel governments such as the Chinese Soviet Republic and the Irish Republic.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 19:50, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose - This article has room to be a lenthy one, considering everything that happen during that ten year period. Chaldean (talk) 03:01, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree with you that this article should be a more lengthy one and I hope this very crucial 10 years will get much more consideration, but the problem is, the more different articles there are, the less likely everybody will notice all of them. If there are only few articles containing as much as possible, it is more likely it will be read. I for example found this article incidentally and not because I knew it did exist. So merging would increase the chance that this important time will be realized and appreciated by as much readers as possible. --Tubesship (talk) 05:52, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Tube, perhaps then it can be connected with other articls by adding it to the template of History of Kosovo. The article is pretty short thou, I agree dab. Chaldean (talk) 06:49, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, this could be done together with the merging. --Tubesship (talk) 07:09, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

don't turn this into a bigger deal than necessary. Sure, there could be a lengthy article about this "shadow goverment". Until somebody sits down and writes it, we can also merge it. I don't see the problem. dab (𒁳) 05:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

It should not be merged, plain and simple.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 00:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I oppose. If the Kosovo article itself will ever be NPOV we will need pages like this to link to from that article. Beam (talk) 01:25, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
