Ivan II of Bulgaria
Unfortunately, this article has existed since last April - it is completely bogus. First of all it should be Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria (it is linked as Ivan II from Empire of Nicaea so I imagine that is my fault). Bulgaria was not known as Boldavia, it wasn't part of the Ottoman Empire yet, the Protestant Reformation did not occur in the 13th century, nor did the Black Plague, cellos did not exist yet, etc. Adam Bishop 19:39, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * following the rewrite to a valid stub I change my vote to Keep. Thryduulf 21:50, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The nonsense has been removed, and it is now a perfectly valid historical stub. GeorgeStepanek\talk  20:49, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Thanks to Adam's useful pointers here and on IRC, I could turn it into a stub. Though I'd wager several people could have made a better article than I did, and I'd also wager that several people wish I hadn't done anything. Well, that's us wacky inclusionists for 'ya.

 * Keep, cleanup and expand. Megan1967 23:49, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks JRM, keep it now. Is there a process where I can withdraw a nomination? Adam Bishop 06:36, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * You can just announce that you're withdrawing it: I have seen it done this way a few times. Removing the link from the VfD page appears to be optional. GeorgeStepanek\talk  07:26, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. Good stub with thanks to JRM. Both Britannica and Columbia have articles on this king. Capitalistroadster 09:45, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep this rewritten version.   GRider\talk 18:19, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep now that is has been re-written. Jayjg (talk) 22:00, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
