Maria of Bohemia, Tsaritsa of Bulgaria

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This article should be deleted. There was never a Maria of Bohemia who was Tsaritsa of Bulgaria. Boleslaus I of Bohemia and Biagota's daughter was Mlada who became an abbess under the name of Maria; she never married. The Emperor&#39;s New Spy (talk) 07:30, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Indeed, Delete. This article is based on the conflation of two different historical women. Reliable sources confirm that Mlada, the youngest daughter of Boleslav I of Bohemia, became abbess of the Monastery of St. George in Prague, adopting the religious name Maria. There is no connection to Bulgaria. The Czech Wikipedia has an article on her: cs:Mlada, as do the German and Slovak Wikipedias. She is notable enough that we ought to have an article on her, but obviously not one with Bulgaria in the title. Then there is Maria, wife of Ivan Vladislav, who was tsaritsa of the First Bulgarian Empire, and on whom we already have an article. Nothing is known about her antecedents, so there is no way other than OR to connect her to Bohemia. --Lambiam 03:08, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. I might be helpful if someone (eg one of two above?) could create a one liner stub for Mlada the Abbess to avoid further confusion. Oranjblud (talk) 14:28, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I've translated the whole article from the German Wikipedia: Mlada (abbess). --Lambiam 23:59, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Lambian. It looks like Maria of Bohemia, Tsaritsa of Bulgaria is not a valid (or likely) redirect to either and should be deleted .Oranjblud (talk) 11:50, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
