Proposed deletion of Ioannis Vatatzeia


The article Ioannis Vatatzeia has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "WP:OR and WP:COATRACK, cf. my comments here. This is a mish-mash of sources on the (real) religious veneration of Vatatzes, as indicated in his article; the celebration of festivals of pagan origin at his court in the 13th century; a modern festival organized by the local see of Didymoteicho; spurious claims that this was celebrated by Greek emigrants to the US (no mention of such in the sources provided); and a completely invented name, 'Ioannis Vatatzeia', that does not and could not exist in Greek, as it is completely ungrammatical."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
