Northern Thessaly

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Complete nonsense; a historiographical hapax used in the context of nationalist literature during World War I is not a serious encyclopedic topic. Constantine  ✍  13:45, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * PS, and, no surprise, the term is not actually in the cited work. It appears to be yet another fake OR/POV creation by this author. Constantine  ✍  16:09, 5 January 2020 (UTC)


 * See page LX for „another fake OR/POV creation by this author”. Angel Angel 2 (talk) 17:35, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have seen it.In page XL, Ivanov writes of "Epirus and Thessaly" together, as indeed he does elsewhere in his work. Ivanov documents instances of "Bulgarians" or "Bulgarian language" in the region of Thessaly, but nowhere does he attempt to define a distinct region of "Northern Thessaly"; that is your OR, and reflects your POV (which you helpfully reveal with the completely unrelated analogy to Northern Epirus below). I still can't quite tell whether you are seriously POV-pushing this term or merely trolling, or both, but the end result will be the same. Cheers, Constantine  ✍  18:43, 5 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Not a notable term historically or geographically. --T*U (talk) 16:08, 5 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Elementary, my dear Watson. Northern Thessaly is not only a geographical, historical, anthropological, but also a geological differentiation of the area of the Thessalian plain - by Phthiotis, whose other non-Greek name in the Middle Ages was Ravenica. The delete suggestion is as deep as Lake Xynias (Ezeros). But act, you're home.

ps. For the Non-greek world, North Thessaly has the value of the neologism of Northern Epirus for Greece. Angel Angel 2 (talk) 17:10, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: Even if it was an established term and not just used in one book, this two sentence article could easily fit into Bulgarians in North Macedonia. Arved (talk) 17:54, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per above, WP:OR, and WP:SOAP -- or if you insist, redirect as suggested by, Bearian (talk) 00:07, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Northern Thessaly has absolutely nothing to do with North Macedonia, though; they are separated by the entirety of South/Greek Macedonia. Constantine  ✍  14:45, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
