 * Previous nomination: Articles for deletion/Makedonsko Devoiche

Article about a popular Macedonian song, was previously kept as "no consensus". The song is probably "notable", in the sense of being quite popular in its culture, but we have no notable and verifiable encyclopedic information about it. Zilch, nada, nothing, after over a year of editing. Editors haven't even been able to work out whether the song was composed by a named author or is from a genuine oral folk tradition. Article consists almost entirely of the song's lyrics (which may well be copyrighted, if it is a composed work). Don't be fooled by the "external links", they don't contain anything substantial either. The only thing this article is good for is to attract nationalist edit-warring over whether to present it as a "Macedonian" or "Bulgarian" song or both. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:25, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to WikiSource if someone can prove the song isn't copyrighted. Otherwise delete Wikipedia isn't a repository for lyrics that are copyrighted, especially when no additional information is provided. The only two possibly reliable sources I found were this one (dubious) which showed a performance, and this one in a language I can't read. The other purported sources either don't mention the song, or they mention only the lyrics, or they're not reliable. - Mgm|(talk) 15:38, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. 'Wikipedia isn't a repository for lyrics, so they shouldn't be mentioned unless the writer wants to quote a couple of lines to make a point.' I know I read that on Wikipedia yesterday. Take away the lyrics from this article and what do you have left? A few badly-written lines and a couple of half-relevant links. Delete.

 * Strong editing I believe no one has put any effort into the article to find information about it. There's two sources posted but deleted by Bulgarians TodorBozhinov and Laveol. Now, I can get started in the article to find sources in a couple of weeks, but I don't think it should be deleted. Edited yes, deleted no. Mactruth (talk) 03:06, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The article has become nothing but a flashpoint for intra-Eastern South Slavic diasystem antagonism. And the song itself is nothing to rave about, in all honesty. · ΚΕΚΡΩΨ · 11:28, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
