Kosovar people (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

This seems like a Wikipedia-invented term. If it's referring to the predominant ethnic group in Kosovo, we have an article for them: Albanians. If it's referring to all people from Kosovo, we have something on them too: Demographics of Kosovo. Either way, it's a content fork and a neologism. Kosovar diaspora should also probably be deleted (as well as Kosovar Australian, none of whom are actually Australian citizens), but let's see how this goes first.

• Comment. While I would not oppose a merge to Demographics of Kosovo, Kosovar is certainly not a neologism, but rather a term in quite common usage. Cool3 (talk) 17:02, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very true. But I think what needs to be said about the term is already said at Kosovar. - Biruitorul ^Talk 17:53, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Alright, Kosovar does seem to cover what we need covered. At the moment, I'd be opposed to deleting Kosovar diaspora, but it seems that Kosovar Australian could probably go. Also, I'd have no problem with a redirect from Kosovar people to Kosovar. Cool3 (talk) 14:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Not an ethnicity by a long shot, just a [potential] POV fork from Albanians. Whatever needs to be said about the particular details is covered in the "Demographics" article. Although Kosovar diaspora looks awful, it could potentially function in the future, since "diaspora" relies on citizenship, not just ethnicity - granted, I wash my hands in advance of the "all Kosovars are diaspora" conundrum :). Since Kosovar Australian relies on wishful thinking, and. like Biruitorul, I don't think there's any documented presence of Kosovars with Aussie citizenship, let alone notable men and women, I say delete.

• Delete It's not an ethnicity, it's a (disputed) nationality. The correct term might be Kosovo Albanians or Ethnic-Albanians from Kosovo. PolScribe (talk) 16:59, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete it doesn't have any base in the reality, most of the people who live in Kosovo are Albanians and we have an article on that while Kosovar doesn't mean anything or at least nothing more than "Kentuckians".--Avala (talk) 17:54, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
