Albania, officially known as the Republic of Albania (Albanian: Republika e Shqipërisë, pronounced [ɾɛpuˈblika ɛ ʃcipəˈɾiːs]), is a country in the South Eastern Europe. Albania is a member of the United Nations, and NATO. Albania has been a potential candidate for accession to the European Union since January 2003, and it formally applied for EU membership on 28 April 2009.

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

I have identified off-sets between 2011 CENSUS data and the 2014 merged municipalities' population totals. Please see the Talk-page for details.

I have sent a mail to INSTAT.gov.al asking for help to resolve those discrepancies.

Public image of Mother Teresa (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)

Started as a WP:POVFORK [1] and since then it has changed quite a bit but it never really improved. This article is not about her public image, which is overwhelmingly positive, (and not a notable topic which does not pass WP:GNG), it is about certain criticisms of her. For some reason the article got moved [2]. Criticism should be in the main article and this POVFORK should be removed. Polygnotus (talk) 19:07, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pbritti: COI users are allowed to have an opinion (even those who disagree with me ). See WP:COIEDIT and WP:COIADVICE. Do you know any reliable sources that are about her public image and not her as a person? Do you think it is a good idea that all criticism was removed from the article about her and moved to this, far more obscure, article? And that, possibly as a result of the move from Criticism of... to Public image of..., the criticism got hidden even further down the page? Polygnotus (talk) 02:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your encouragement to discussion! Perusing JSTOR, I'm finding some pieces like this. Generally, they come from the late 1990s and are heaving on the sociology (not necessarily bad, especially in a subjective subject). I have objections over centering criticisms like Hitchens's on her biographical article—one of a few significant marks against his legacy—but generally agree that we need to exercise caution in any diminishment of sustained and impactful criticism. ~ Pbritti (talk) 02:15, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is interesting to see how some people are overly cautious with anything approaching COI while others... are not. ;-) Of course, the criticism comes not just from Hitchens. People like Aroup Chatterjee and Tariq Ali and Mihir Bose and even people who worked for her like Hemley Gonzalez and Susan Shields et cetera have famously criticized her work. There are a lot of very important people who said very positive things about her; let's be fair and balance that out with some of the criticism. MLK jr got a criticism section. You can probably write a criticism section for Ghandi. I am quoting myself, and when I wrote that the Mother Teresa article still had a criticism section. No matter what happens here, the criticism will return anyway. It never left, despite attempts to hide it. Polygnotus (talk) 02:25, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pbritti: sorry I forgot to ping. Polygnotus (talk) 02:26, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Critics say grossly inadequate medical care was given to the sick and dying. Syringes were reused without sterilisation, pain relief was non-existent or negligible, and conditions were unhygienic. Meanwhile, Mother Teresa spent much of her time travelling around the world in a private plane to meet political leaders. -- The Guardian. Polygnotus (talk) 03:18, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I honestly have no idea what the coverage is like in Albania and for the clubs he played for, there are two in the list that are a fair size and get good support. If someone does build a decent article with sources ping me please. Govvy (talk) 21:35, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

8 games in Albania’s highest league, continued in the semi-pro second tier, did get 4 more games on the top level. With sources not being better than this, this or this, I don't think it meets WP:GNG or WP:SPORTCRIT. What do you think? Geschichte (talk) 08:39, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very short football career, so looks to fail WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT, though I did find this. Geschichte (talk) 20:49, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate/WP:POV FORK of Northern Epirus Liberation Front, as well as WP:OR. None of the references have page numbers either and it doesn't seem like any of them actually verify the text in the article. Griboski (talk) 01:41, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This isn't official history. It's probably just their opinion. Pallikari ap' ta Sfakia 17:29, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Who said that?You?And what are you a historian to tell us what is true and what is not? North Epirote Insurgency In South Albania is a real historical event you can ask historians and tell you it is true but only your (Personal attack removed) will disagree, because you guys only want to be the best, but you are nowhere near that.I even provided sources but you still disagree Henrikurti (talk) 11:55, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Tell me why you don't like the truth? Henrikurti (talk) 11:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per nom. All of the sources in the article lack page numbers, and are essentially impossible to verify. The nominator tagged them with {{page needed}} ten days ago (diff), and still, the issue remains. What's bizarre, is that less than one-and-a-half hours after the creation of the article by User:Henrikurti (initial revision), who added a bunch of – apparently – random URLs at the end of the page in response to their identically-titled draft getting rejected one day earlier due to lack of sources and sufficient context (diff), User:Randomuser2412 appeared, and arbitrarily moved these general references within the body of the article as inline citations (diff). Demetrios1993 (talk) 02:30, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Where exactly does the article detail its purported topic? I see only context and what the Albanians, Italy, and Greece did, but no details on the actual insurgency... And that is leaving aside what exactly constitutes an 'insurgency' in the conditions of WWII-era Albania, which was occupied by foreign powers (Italians and Germans), with several different resistance groups competing for control, and where no clearly recognized Albanian government existed (if it was the Axis puppet governments, then any action against them falls under resistance). So far all I can see is a polemically-titled article with nothing to back it up. Constantine 17:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Failure of WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Modest career with 11 games in Albania's highest league and almost nothing else. Quite often vandalized during the article's history, and I removed an unsupported claim of prolific playing and goalscoring. Sources? This is 1/3 interview, but mentions kinship with Salvador Kaçaj so he might be a merge target. This is a match report of the only time he scored a goal.

Played in a semi-pro second tier with match attendance in the hundreds. So fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT, unless there are significant sources. During my search I only found this regarding football, a transfer case. I also found coverage of a crime, which I don't know if is related. Geschichte (talk) 12:40, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Albanian-Prilep War (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)

The article is entirely originally researched and some of the listed sources are unreliable (such as Srpski kod). Every rivalry is not always treated as a war by sources. StephenMacky1 (talk) 09:22, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ruben Danaj (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)

Only played in a semi-pro second-tier league, so fails WP:SPORTCRIT - unless there are sources. This seems much too short to be significant, this bears a Wordpress logo (blog) whereas this is a match report mostly made up of quotes. It's about two people, Ruben and his brother Redon Danaj. I have notability doubts about Redon Danaj as well, otherwise he might be a merge target. Geschichte (talk) 12:21, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
