1934 Bulgarian census

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This is problematic and not simple, so here goes. I would have draftified this article except it's way older than 90 days. It's basically sourced to a single source and SELECTIVELY picks from that source, omitting figures for - for instance - Muslims and others from the presented data. The author has a very intense interest in the demographics of European/Near Eastern countries and I worry about that given the selectivity in this article. Do we need a 1934 census of Bulgaria article? Is it notable? Based on one source? Effectively misrepresenting the data presented in that source? My view is not and I'm proposing this be draftified per a consensus reached here or deleted until something better and more representative can be built. Your views, please...

 * Keep. I don't (so far) see a problem. Similar data from other countries (1930 United States census, 1931 United Kingdom census) are similarly sourced. Clearly the figures reported are a small subset of the census itself but in what way has the selection shown bias? Have Muslims been excluded? Islam is present and, it looks, properly reported. I don't find it odd that someone has an interest in the demographics of European and Near Eastern countries but if the data is being misrepresented that is a serious problem indeed. I suggest editing the article or commenting at its talk page if you think more representative information could be presented. Thincat (talk) 13:27, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep -- I would have liked to have seen something more by way of commentary. It gives two datasets, by ethnicity and religion.  What is wrong with that?  If the nom considers that the article is incomplete he is at liberty to add what he considers to be missing.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:45, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: WP:DINC, if there is concern that the article is only partially completed, then just add the missing bits or at least tag it. Topic is notable and encyclopedic. Curbon7 (talk) 13:33, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above, once one finds missing in his opinion information just add it. Kazanstyle (talk) 09:00, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
