The result was delete, but I guess the current redirect will do as long as it's not reverted. Sandstein (talk) 06:33, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Epirotic

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

POV fork of Tosk Albanian, designed to promote irredentist nationalist ideologies regarding an Albanian claim to Epirus. Entirely unreferenced as to its central claim that "Epirotic" is a common designation of Albanian language varieties and that Albanian speakers are "the"(!) natives of Epirus. The external link is to a 17th-century document and lacks discussion in reliable secondary sources; all the rest about Arvanitika, Arbereshe etc. is already treated elsewhere.

 * Delete Inherently POV, and I don't think that could be solved. Master of Puppets   Call me MoP! ☺  05:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete seems somewhat redundant.  Marlith  T / C  05:49, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. No reliable references and POV.147.175.98.213 (talk) 00:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment from nominator: On second thoughts, it might also be a solution to simply redirect the page to Epirus. That way, we don't have POV problems, and the redirect target will make it clear that there are both Greek- and Albanian-related concepts that this adjective might apply to. Should have thought of it earlier. In this sense, you might consider this nomination retracted. Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Eh, whatever. Assuming that the huge multitudes of previous delete voters won't really mind, I'll just IAR and redirect the thing now. Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:10, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
