A fact from Marcu Cercel appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 January 2018 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that Marcu Cercel, who ruled over Moldavia in 1600, was probably born to a Turkish Muslim apostate? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2018/January. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Marcu Cercel.

An article published from 2013, giving endorsement to a primary source, is not an "old source", nor has it been shown to be questioned or superseded by other theories (a requirement per WP:OLDSOURCES). The removal of Cercel's attested Albanian heritage (at a random place in the text, mind you) seems to be a user's whim, which is specifically not what we do on wikipedia.
