 * Keep Nikollë (Nicholas) Bojaxhiu is covered in many sources and obviously the notability of his activities (only Catholic councillor of Skopje, his company constructed the city's first theater etc.) isn't related to his daughter.-- — ZjarriRrethues — talk 12:59, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge with Mother Teresa. Any notability whatsoever is attached to Mother Teresa, as the article citations indicate. This person is not notable enough to warrant their own article. -- NINTENDUDE 64 02:53, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. A merge into Mother Teresa would unjustly inflate her article. I added some more sources, and others can be added too. A spinoff is already warranted now, but if the article is merged, it will be warranted later, so a keep seems reasonable at this point. Mamurrasforever (talk) 16:43, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. I see that some more has been added, but the content of this article does not demonstrate in any way that Nikollë Bojaxhiu is notable beyond being Mother Teresa's father. I also don't see how merging this with Mother Teresa would unjustly inflate her article since her article isn't all that large in the first place (well below 100K). In addition, it is perfectly standard to mention, at length if warranted, someone's mother or father in their biography. -- NINTENDUDE 64 21:12, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * There is plenty of biographical content about Nikollë, such as being on the city council of a major (now capital) city, founding that city's first theatre and funding a major transport link, that can be reliably sourced but doesn't belong in his daughter's article. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:52, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * In which case it wouldn't be included there. Just because it's reliable sourced doesn't mean it belongs in a Wikipedia article. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 18:54, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I meant that there's enough such information to pass the general notability guideline, so justifying an article. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:25, 30 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Merge if/where necessary. I'm just not seeing the notability here. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 18:54, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - Historical figure, not a contemporary politician. Adequate sourcing showing in the footnotes, which doesn't even start to touch the Albanian-language periodical press of the day. Carrite (talk) 15:57, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - per Carrite and Phil Bridger. There is enough coverage in RS for him to meet WP:GNG, and most material in the article has no place in the one about Mother Teresa. -- Cycl o pia talk  20:46, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: Appears to pass WP:POLITICIAN based on being elected to the Skopje City Council (Skopje being a major city in the Balkans). He also seems to have had a hand, albeit a minor one, in the creation of Independent Albania. The article needs some TLC, but it stands on its own merit apart from Mother Teresa.
