Delete short unsourced bio about a politician, no indication his party is notable, nor him. So nn we don't know when or where he was born, red flags of non-notability for a modern bio. There is a bio of this guy on the Macedonian-language wikipedia, but again it's short and unsourced. see it here Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC) Keep but editing is needed Mactruth (talk) 20:15, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I am not ready to vote yet, but my superficial impression is that he might be notable. GoogleNews returns 24 hits. For a politician from a non-English speaking country that is something. Nsk92 (talk) 23:19, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Leader of a political party which has received significant news coverage in 2001 and 2002. Pburka (talk) 00:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Just a quick review on google didn't pull up a ton of hits, but I did note a PBS Newshour piece about some of his parties activities and at least in 2000 the UN defined his party as one of three serious parties in the country. Entering his name in cyrillic produces about 127 hits, several of which appear to be news articles about him if my Russian gets me anywhere.  Montco (talk) 00:50, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Reading the UN source you quoted, it only said that MAAK was a "minor Macedonian party" - after the three major parties (VMRO-DPMNE, SDSM, and LDP) and the Socialist party. AndrewRT(Talk) 23:16, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Color me embarrassed. I mis-read it.  Oh well, I will stand by my keep.  Montco (talk) 00:17, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly notable as leader of a significant political party. I wish this nominator would give up his strange obsession with nominating biographical articles for deletion just because there's no date of birth mentioned - it just wastes everybody's time. The guy's notable for what he has done, not for when he was born. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:49, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure MAAK counts as a "significant" political party. It doesn't feature on Template:Macedonian political parties and got less than 1% of the vote in the Macedonian parliamentary election, 2006 AndrewRT(Talk) 23:35, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
