 * Delete WP:TNT as unsalvageable propaganda. I don't actually see a copyright violation involving text lifted without change. I wish in a way there was! What I see is a great deal of OR synthesis claimed to derive from two sources. There appears to be a massive amount pov wording, distorting significantly the content of those two sources for pov effect. For example, "...some concessions were made shortly thereafter. In 1969, subsidiary branches of the University of Belgrade in Pristina were converted into the University of Pristina." is in the text and is cited, and implies a "concession" that was nothing beyond a change of signage. However, the cited source says "subsidiary institutions of the University of Belgrade" were "transformed and expanded". That source is also specific that the demand was "clearly linked to separatist politics" - information the article conveniently (for its pov) omits. The degree of source distortion is revealed by the source's content (on p286) that the University of Pristina "subsequently played a prominent role in the Albanianisation of Kosovo’s political, administrative and security apparatuses" being rendered distorted and propagandized in the text as "played a pivotal role in the fight against Serbinisation". This sort of distortion is everywhere throughout the text to the extend that I think it is unsalvageable. The fact that the subject has but two sources makes it doubtful that it is a notable for an article even if neutrally written, and nether of the sources use the title of the article or are specifically about that subject.

 * Delete per above. Not just propaganda, but trashy crap consisting entirely of original research. We are not a webhost for petty dictators. Bearian (talk) 02:08, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
