WP:COATRACK and WP:POVFORK of History of Albania with virtually no sources and zero evidence that the various entities mentioned here (several of which, such as the Muhammad Ali dynasty and the League of Prizren, aren't "countries or regions") have any continuity whatsoever.

• Redirect to History of Albania. This looks like a POV fork. I find it interesting how North Macedonia is called "the present Albanian political entity". Guided by that logic, Montenegro should also be an Albanian political entity. In principle, I think redirection would be a good solution. -- Aca ( talk) 12:01, 12 August 2021 (UTC) reply
• Redirect Delete per comment above, redirect to History of Albania. Delete per recent and similar Afd -- Vacant0 ( talk) 17:50, 12 August 2021 (UTC) reply
• Keep -- This is appropriate to keep: this is a list article. This should not need sources, as these will be in the articles listed. The function of articles of this kind is to serve as an index, which it potentially does well. It is certainly not ideal as some of the content is rulers rather than regions. I see little evidence of COATRACK. It id certainly a fork, but not a POVFORK. If there is anything in it that is POV, the solution is to edit not delete; or redirect, which is equally destructiuve.

  • There was a similar situation regarding the "List of Serb countries and regions" article, both of these articles serve (and served) the purpose of nationalist POV. Even though it is a list, it is completely unsourced. -- Vacant0 ( talk) 15:10, 14 August 2021 (UTC) reply
• Delete per recent and very similar debate. The same logic should apply here. Soundwaweserb ( talk) 21:15, 14 August 2021 (UTC) reply

• Delete as I believe a precedent has now been set with the Serb page. This should also probably be applied to the numerous other similar list articles. Vladimir.copic ( talk) 22:21, 14 August 2021 (UTC) reply
• Delete - the assertion from Vladimir.copic above is that a community consensus has been established with regard to this particular type of article. Content notwithstanding, I see no reason presented as to why that consensus shouldn't prevail. A list that serves its stated purpose can always be proposed for creation.
