Article created by blocked sock-master, article is questionable and highly POV, and it should be deleted Axiomus (talk) 12:28, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. 23 editor (talk) 14:41, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - An article created by a Sockmaster is not a valid reason for deletion. Claiming an article is POV is also not a valid reason for deletion. This seems to be a case of WP:IDL. This is a valid notable article which is referenced appropriately. IJA (talk) 15:14, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as per rationale given by IJA. The nominator is currently trying to delete or rename without consensus a series of articles just because he doesn't like them, clear WP:IDL. --Mondiad (talk) 18:29, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Still fails notability? 0 hits on Gbooks. Refs used in the article are unrealiable. Merge content into List of Kachaks if you insist.--Zoupan 19:05, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - How are the references unreliable? Are the published books which are used as references unreliable? If so please explain how. 0 google books searches means no books on google books, not 0 books on the topic. IJA (talk) 19:20, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @IJA: The Truth on Kosova comes from a publisher I can't find anything about so it might be self-published, which goes against WP:SPS. Albaniapress.com makes no claim of being a news outlet. Botasot and Express are both aping the interviews done by Liman Rushiti and I can't speak to NPOV because there's a lot of partisanship in that part of the world. Obviously the YouTube video isn't a source.. so I don't see any real sources to base an article on here. The onus is on the article to make a claim of notability.

Speedy Keep - Yeah it's pretty stupid to nominate every single article created by AH..., Anyway I'm not seeing any beneficial advantages to deleting the article .... Plus it meets GNG anyway.... –Davey2010^Talk 20:00, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Without reliable sources, the article makes no claim of notability and has none. Although the article doesn't qualify under WP:G5, it makes sense to nominate POV articles written by a now-blocked crank. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:30, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets gng, so the creation by sock is just rationale seems to be a revenge vendetta rather than a rational argument for deletion.Jacona (talk) 12:53, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @JaconaFrere and Davey2010: Could you point out which sources support this claim of general notability? None of these look reliable to me. Chris Troutman (talk) 03:42, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- Adequately sourced. He assassinated of a notable figure, whose subordinates then wreaked disproportionate revenge on innocent villagers. His actions were thus the cause of the massacre. I think that makes him notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:14, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
