Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Bulgaria

WP:DSBULGARIA

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Bulgaria. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Bulgaria|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Bulgaria. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Europe.

Palitsi Reservoir

Unreferenced article about a seemingly unnotable location. Couldn't find reliable sources anywhere I looked. -Samoht27 (talk) 19:49, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Geography, Europe, and Bulgaria. -Samoht27 (talk) 19:49, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This location doesn't seem notable for the public, based on the independent media citations out there (or lack thereof). Doctorstrange617 (talk) 20:14, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete:Not notable. A search basically establishes it exists with a small dam and there is a small hotel but no widespread coverage. Coldupnorth (talk) 08:42, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TNT - it's been unsourced for almost 16 years, is from a red-linked location that might not exist, and seems to be promoting some campsite, but it's so poorly written that I can't tell for certain. Bearian (talk) 22:47, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Palitsi Dam Complex appears to be a hotel. Not finding much about the actual reservoir or village called Palitsi, though it seems there were plans to improve the road between Palitsi and Chakali funded by the Program for Rural Development. Could imagine an argument to keep based on either WP:GEOLAND or WP:NBUILDING but we would need reliable sources demonstrating that either of those criteria have been met.

Easter in the Balkans

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Reads a lot like AI slop with many weasel words and is very similar to the Romanian article that is also being AfD'ed. It also incorporates AI images. Laura240406 (talk) 08:23, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Topic seems obviously notable. Why can’t it be fixed? Hyperbolick (talk) 08:41, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

delete this essay. Mangoe (talk) 14:46, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since it is clearly WP:CGC for the purpose of edit farming. This could also fall under WP:U5, in which case the editor should be blocked from editing. JTZegers (talk) 18:27, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

how can you be so sure it's an AI creation? Lord Mountbutter (talk) 18:40, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It just looks like an AI slop job, with pictures and all. JTZegers (talk) 02:56, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

btw the author's response also sounds very much AI generated and includes a lot of en dashes in a way that ChatGPT allegedly uses them Laura240406 (talk) 08:20, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. AI slop, like one from ChatGPT, must be reworded or simplified in the editor's words. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 11:28, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
is this some kind of project? We also have very similar articles (by a different editor) about Ramadan throughout the world, like Ramadan in Indonesia and Ramadan in France. Fram (talk) 12:32, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
seems like it, those two articles are obviously AI slop (e.g. the first sentence: "Ramadan in Indonesia is a vibrant and spiritual period, deeply rooted in the country's cultural fabric") Laura240406 (talk) 13:59, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the creator has blanked the article. Additionally, when I looked at their talk page, the response seemed very likely to be AI generated. ❤History Theorist❤ 03:51, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete article is in clear violation of policies/guidelines against original research and is likely AI slop. If it is a topic worth an article, I think it would be better to blow it up and start over. ❤History Theorist❤ 03:51, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mladost, Varna

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No refs on the page for many years. Wikis in other languages do not offer much. Maybe there are relevant refs in local languages that show the GNG is met. JMWt (talk) 17:40, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Geography and Bulgaria. JMWt (talk) 17:40, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A quick look in Bulgarian sources shows routine notability - it's one of the largest districts of Varna after all - but it's such a simple stub that what little is there could just be merged to Varna until someone wants to have a better crack at this. SportingFlyer T·C 19:11, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - AfD is not a venue for cleanup. A district with 84,000 inhabitants and an administrative apparatus of local governance, easily passes WP:NGEO. --Soman (talk) 23:52, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep clearly meets the relevant WP:GEOLAND guideline. Needs better sourcing and could easily be merged if people prefer but outright deletion is neither necessary or approrpiate. Eluchil404 (talk) 22:56, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
