Bosniak nationalism
Started its life as Serbs' POV "Unitary Islamic Bosnia", kept as no consensus at previous AfD. Rare neutral commenters suggested "NPOVize and source", which has never happened; in the meantime, it oscillated between strong pro-Bosniak and anti-Bosniak POVs and no one touched it for a long time. This is not an article, this is a graffiti wall, and a shame for Balkans and Wikipedia. Yes, I know the subject is encyclopedic, verifiable and potentially interesting, but this is not an excuse for its existence in this form. I feel that only the re-AfD-ing (to be honest, I meant to delete it myself per WP:IAR but refrained) could turn community's attention to it. Duja 12:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

P.S. An appeal to the closing admin (I foresee a tough job): as a potentially heated debate may emerge, I suggest taking far more the reasoning than votecount into account. Personally, I consider keep and rewrite votes futile, unless someone puts up the sleeves and improves the article in the meantime. Thanks.


 * Delete as nominator. Duja 12:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete due to lack of encyclopedic content, WP:NOR, WP:RS. The article basically says there might have been some such thing as Bosniak nationalism, or maybe not, then goes on to list some vaguely related ethno-nationalistic grievances, allegations and slanders. Also, the sourcing is poor (I can't readily find a basis for any of the article's assertions in the sources provided), and the article's history indicates we mustn't expect an encyclopedic rewrite anytime soon. This is one waste of bytes. Sandstein 20:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is garbage. The topic could make into useful article once. Pavel Vozenilek 23:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, whenever we wrote about the nationalism, the point of view is competely different. Is it possible to write about the nationalism from independent point of view? Don't know, but the nationalism still remains and the article (in this form) does not deserve to stay. --MaNeMeBasat 07:25, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - for now. This should be revisited some time in the future, but right now it's just crap. It would be easier to rewrite from scratch.--estavisti 07:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
