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.

Kristi Lamaj


Kristi Lamaj (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)

Bio page on Albanian participant in the recent Big Brother VIP (Albanian TV series) season 5. All the sources are entirely of low quality and importance coming from chournalism-infotainment clickbait pages, and describe what he did inside the program. No notability as an artist, or other contributions to make him notable, just his partecipation in BB. I propose deletion. Whoever is interested can add a few lines to BB VIP article if they deem it necessary. Also I just removed a statement which was not supported by the source, raising suspicions this was created using a chatbot that hallucinated as if the link contained the specific information. ‎G. L.

I want to open a discussion about this bio page. I don't think she is notable enough to have her own article, considering the sources used as references. One of which is teksteshqip.com, which I argue here is unreliable and should be blacklisted. Other source which is indeed reliable is "Media Owernship Monitor" , but it only mentions her once in passing as I have explained in the Talk Page , BUT it does NOT support the statements or facts that the other editor had inserted. The other sources are from pseudo-journals who report on what she said on her social media. I dont think there are enough reliable secondary and independent sources (TopMedia has a lot of different publications and a lot of influence, and is complicit in shadowy stuff as described here ) to justify her having her own article. For these reasons: a brief, concise mention of her, and her sister Sara Hoxha (suffers from the same problems) at Top Media Group or Top Channel might suffice. This is my first time doing this, so excuse me If I have made errors or forgot something. ‎G. L. Talk 08:50, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

  • Prob delete - I'm not seeing much that would appear to meet the level of substantial coverage in reliable sources needed for inclusion - however it is possible that more substantial coverage is out there somewhere. JMWt (talk) 09:05, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep - Below some sources that confirm her notability

  • Comment – Editor who nominated article for deletion, is in COI as per articles created by him mostly are primary sources example Klodiana Lala source 3 and 4 ,main article website reference : Reporter.al (which is not mention in nowhere wiki articles as trusted notable source, he created also articles for Reporter.al staff here respectivly article Aleksandra Bogdani i strongly reccomend to see user global contributions logs to see his actions nearly "edit-revert" war in en wiki and sq wiki. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-23828-21 (talk) 22:48, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
    Does any of the experienced users of en.wiki think a checkuser is warranted considering the 2 single-edit IP have voted/commented on this discussion? ~2026-23725-17 and this ~2026-23828-21 ? ‎G. L. Talk 23:18, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep or at least move to an article about the Hoxha family, as the family itself is probably one of the most influential in Albania and may be useful in consolidating details about each of the descendants of Dritan Hoxha, if this ends up getting deleted. (I've added a few citations just in case.) Fallbackintoreality (t • c) 00:34, 18 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep - Notability exists. -- Leutrim.P (talk) 18:36, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I'm inclined to keep. The nomination concerns me and support for deletion is weak. However, keep responses could use more explanation and the comment about nominator is difficult to read. Let's try another week.

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

Fails WP:NBIO, non notable personality, previously deleted as per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kadri Bistrica hence, tried WP:G4 but rejected, since article at time of deletion is not identical as this. Also, google search finds nothing, but page describes as notable fighter during world war. ✓ortexPhantom (talk) 13:52, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

  • Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: People, Military, Albania, and Kosovo. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 13:57, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge with Vullnetari: Gscholar shows three sources in another language (Albanian?) and he seems to have school named after him, but I cant' determine if those are RS or not. I merge would at least mention this person; then anyone with the urge to do so can create a fork and expand it as needed. Oaktree b (talk) 19:11, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
