Draft:Republic of Bulgaria

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

We already have an article on Bulgaria, from which the text of this draft was copied. It's unclear what the purpose of this draft could possibly be, as the Republic of Bulgaria is modern-day Bulgaria. I have no expectation of constructive intentions behind the creation of this because the creator in the previous couple of days has made a number of problematic edits. They also turned the redirect, which leads to Republic of Yucatán, into a freestanding article with an infobox implying that the Republic of Yucatan is extant and in which a Ukrainian politican is listed as the president and the name of the alleged president of the senate links to Trollface.

 * Delete. In addition to the nom's statement, it's also technically a COPYVIO since it's a copy-paste without attribution. — Mhawk10 (talk) 17:36, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete . Copyvio, duplicate of existing article so no chance of being accepted, contains a minor tweak to add the fake statement that Bulgaria is using the euro, on the whole this appears to be little more than vandalism. 192.76.8.70 (talk) 19:27, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Robert, a redirect at this title would probably have utility in getting people to the existing article and preventing recreations in future. 192.76.8.70 (talk) 20:25, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Republic of Indonesia already exists, and searches don't generally lead to drafts, so why would having a redirect here probably be useful? Largoplazo (talk) 23:30, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Bulgaria as the usual way to deal with stray drafts in draft space that describe real article topics. The IP is a vandal, but this is a content forum.  (More accurately, the editor currently behind the IP address is a vandal.  Genseric was also a Vandal.)  Robert McClenon (talk) 20:06, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * It's a forum for requesting deletion of miscellaneous pages. The deletion of a miscellaneous page is what I was requesting. So when you say this isn't the forum for it, you're implying my intention was something other than what it was. Why are you implying that? And why litter draft space with redirects to main space?

 * Delete as an unjustified fork of Bulgaria. Its existence is a attribution-compliance hazard. Do not fork WP:Spinouts to draftspace unless done by consensus demonstrated at the article talk page.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:35, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
