An obvious WP:CFORK of Albanian–Soviet split combined with parts of Vlora incident, which was created by the same sockpuppet account and which itself is a CFORKy take on Albanian–Soviet split. Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 16:37, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Again, just like in the case of the Battle of Đocaj and Jasić, this battle holds significance. It was the very battle that marked the outbreak of the Insurgency in the Preševo Valley. This was the first major engagement between the LAPMB and Yugoslav forces. I see no reason why it should be deleted. Furthermore, it was widely reported on in Western media, as shown by the sources mentioned in the article. GermanManFromFrankfurt (talk) 01:56, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

History of Northern Epirus from 1913 to 1921

History of Northern Epirus from 1913 to 1921 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

History of Northern Epirus from 1913 to 1921 is a WP:CFORK of various parts from Northern Epirus, Autonomous Republic of Northern Epirus, World War I in Albania, Albania during the Balkan Wars, Demographics of Albania and others. All parts of the article are in fact parts of other articles and within their scope.

There is no part of this article which isn't discussed in another article because the subject of the article itself is not an academic subject per se as there was no Northern Epirus as a defined geographical area between 1913 and 1921. Northern Epirus is a term which was first very loosely defined in the modern sense in the Balkan Wars (1912-1913) and was used in the context of Greek-Albanian politics, but it was not a defined ethnographic, geographical or historical region which had any distinct history. It still isn't and both Albanian and Greek historians fully agree on this subject.

This would explain why there is no academic coverage for the history of this area and illustrates why the article is a POV content fork: it exists in order to demonstrate that such a region both existed and had a defined history and boundaries a century ago. It is not different to an article with the title History of Transnistria from 1913 to 1921 or an article about any irredentist claim which uses the geographical name of the claim about past history.
