Wikipedia:WikiProject Albania

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WikiProject Albania is a wikiproject dedicated to creating, improving, and expanding articles related to Albania and Albanians.

Albania, officially known as the Republic of Albania (Albanian: Republika e Shqipërisë, pronounced [ɾɛpuˈblika ɛ ʃcipəˈɾiːs]), is a country in the South Eastern Europe. Albania is a member of the United Nations, and NATO. Albania has been a potential candidate for accession to the European Union since January 2003, and it formally applied for EU membership on 28 April 2009.

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

I have identified off-sets between 2011 CENSUS data and the 2014 merged municipalities' population totals. Please see the Talk-page for details.

I have sent a mail to INSTAT.gov.al asking for help to resolve those discrepancies.

Skanderbeg's Serbian campaign (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Essentially a recreation of an article that was already deleted, just under a different title. See: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kosovo Raid (1448) (2nd nomination).

Needless to say the same issues persist. There is passing mention in sources of Skanderbeg ravaging Serbian towns as punishment for Brankovic's alleged actions, and that is the only thing that is referenced; the rest of the article is unsourced and it's likely WP:OR as well. Nothing in reliable sources about a significant "expedition" or "campaign" beyond the aforementioned incident, let alone the article topic meeting WP:NEVENT and WP:GNG.

  • Comment: I performed the equivalent of an AFC acceptance since I removed the AFC artefacts from an article in mainspace. I will the remain neutral as is my policy were I to have performed a true acceptance. I do have a  Question: for the nominator. Is it sufficiently identical to the now deleted article to qualify for CSD, or is it sufficiently different to require a full discussion here? 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:53, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not completely sure because the creator essentially took that "raid" event and turned into a broader "expedition" but the only thing that's verifiable and sourced is that raid. It seems it was just copied from the listing at List of wars involving Albania. I put it up for speedy deletion a couple of days ago but there was no admin action. So I figured it might be best to list it at AfD. --Griboski (talk) 17:07, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alban Dashi (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Failure of WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Minor career with 13, probably not full, games in Albania’s highest league and an obscure stint in leagues below that. I could not find any significant coverage whatsoever. Geschichte (talk) 18:28, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mikel Hoxha (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Failure of WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Played 74 minutes in Albania's highest league and 10 games in the semi-pro second tier. I could not find significant coverage. Hits like this is obviously another person by the same name. Geschichte (talk) 18:31, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anastas Kristo (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Failure of WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Very low-key career, played some games in Malta. The stints in Italy and Scotland were negligible, if he even played at all. Are there sources? There are stat databases, passing mentions. This is from a union he belongs to, so a primary source. Then there are some post-football, not-so-favourable coverage, which is at the same time far from meeting WP:PERP. Geschichte (talk) 06:51, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indrit Hithi (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Failure of WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. 5 minutes in Albania's highest league and some seasons with very limited playing time in the semi-pro second tier where match attendance is in the hundreds. As for sources, I only found stat databases, Facebook posts, and short non-significant coverage such as this and this. Geschichte (talk) 06:54, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Muzaka-Serbian war (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No sources cited. Likely WP:OR as well. Most of it concerns a "Battle of Pelister" that was recently deleted (nominated by Golikom); see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Battle of Pelister (1340). So this creation seems to be a compensation for that. Griboski (talk) 23:15, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Drmies: Since you commented on the related afD, the editor is creating a bunch of POV, unsourced and OR articles. I'm wondering if administration intervention is appropriate here. It follows similar patterns of other new editors collaborating on re-creating similar bad articles that have to be taken to AfD (for example [1] [2]). At the very least, WP:COMPETENCY is an issue.--Griboski (talk) 23:26, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Previously deleted. Failure of WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. 2 matches in Albania's highest league and four seasons in the semi-pro second tier. I only found sources that were databases, primary, Wordpress blog sites or trivial such as this. Geschichte (talk) 08:56, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Failure of WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Played 74 minutes in Albania's highest league and several seasons in the semi-pro second tier. I found no sources that weren't databases or otherwise not significant coverage. Geschichte (talk) 08:59, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Failure of WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT. Only played 6 times on Albania's first tier and a further 21 matches on Albania's semi-professional second tier, though he still plays there an article is WP:TOOSOON. A WP:BEFORE found only stat sites, primary sources and passing mentions such as this. Geschichte (talk) 09:54, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Failure of WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Modest career with 5 games in Albania's highest league (according to Worldfootball) and several seasons in the semi-pro second tier. The best sources I could find were this short interview and this short transactional news piece. Geschichte (talk) 08:16, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
