Macedonian Empire ( Samuel's Empire )

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

A highly POV-ish, unreferenced version of the late First Bulgarian Empire under tsar Samuil, seen solely from the perspective of modern Slavo-Macedonian nationalism. The subject is already more than adequately covered in the relevant articles. Constantine  ✍  14:26, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete As nomination says, this is someone trying to claim the First Bulgarian Empire was Macedonian. Macedonian debates on WP can be vicious, with more than one entry in Lamest edit wars.  Delete as POV fork/duplication of existing article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:16, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as per above. Not worth a redirect as this is an artificial, non-obvious search term. Not worth the time of a merge as there is little worth transferring that won't need rewritten anyhow. Agricolae (talk) 02:10, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete for being a blatant POV fork. Kostja (talk) 06:14, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment -- This is certainly a bad article, and probably written by some one whose first language is not English.  It certainly raises POV issues, but the subject is covered in much greater detail than in First Bulgarian Empire, to which this could potentially be a more detailed "main" article.  The "Samuel", who is frequently referred to (but without a link to an article on him) is clearly Samuel of Bulgaria.  My query is therefore whether this article adds anything that is not already in the biographical article on him.  I suspect the answer is that it does not, except to apply a Macedonian POV to it.  I therefore side with delete, but am insufficiently familar with the subject to feel able to vote.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:52, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
