Notable people of Gjilan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an out-of-context list made to promote a small town in Kosovo. I fail to see the importance of this article (we already have a list of important people from the town at Gnjilane, do we not?). 23 editor (talk) 14:17, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep, and possibly split. If the people are indeed notable, then there should be an article about each of them. There are sources for each person. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 20:49, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Inappropriate list of assumed notable people sourced primarily to self-published and user-generated websites. Article does not meet the notability guideline for lists of people. If there are individuals here whose notability has actually been established in accordance with Wikipedia's notability guidelines, then provide a link in the Gnjilane article to their Wikipedia article.

 * Keep and rename into List of people from Gnjilane.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 15:28, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, you may question the names within it, but not the article itself. --Arianit (talk) 15:36, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Those names are already mentioned at Gnjilane. 23 editor (talk) 17:02, 10 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep, the article has a point and is about notable people. By the way List of people from Gnjilane redirects to a list of people from the city of Gilan in Iran, and very few of the personalities subject of the article are in the Gnjilane article, so the two previous claims are untrue. --Atdheu (talk) 02:47, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete or rewrite. Many of the sources in this article consist of Facebook pages, sq Wikipedia articles, and blogs. I think having a list of people from Gnjilane (using the correct spelling) is fine, as long as there are either articles for the individuals listed or reliable references confirming their notability. This current article also omits non-ethnic Albanians. -- Local hero talk 16:47, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep There seems to be enough content here for a notable stand alone article. Perhaps it could be renamed like other "List of people from X" articles? IJA (talk) 19:43, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
