Bulgarian Genocide edit
Hi. I replied on my talkpage. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Dr.K. logos 17:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- The misunderstanding was created by your actions because you created the Bulgarian Genocide article yesterday. When I first saw the link to the Bulgarian Genocide article it was indeed red. So I was justified in removing it. I really don't appreciate being accused by you of censorship for removing empty red links, and then, after, you go and create articles for them.

Please see Talk:Bulgarian Genocide but perhaps before you answer you need to read to read the content policies WP:NPV, WP:V and WP:NOR, and the page naming policy WP:NC. As background reading you might also like to take a look at genocides in history and the talk page and talk page archives of that article and the talk page and archives of Greek genocide. It will help you understand about why Wikipedia has articles on some things called genocide and not on others. As the introduction at the start of genocides in history says
Determining what historical events constitute a genocide and which are merely criminal or inhuman behaviour is not a clear-cut matter. In nearly every case where accusations of genocide have circulated, partisans of various sides have fiercely disputed the interpretation and details of the event, often to the point of promoting wildly different versions of the facts. An accusation of genocide is certainly not taken lightly and will almost always be controversial.
AfD Nomination: Bulgarian Genocide edit
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Bulgarian Genocide meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.
Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bulgarian Genocide. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.
Discussions such as these usually last seven days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. Preslav (talk) 08:16, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Answer edit
You'll get an answer, but I don't think you're gonna like it. I am Bulgarian as were most of the editors that voted for the deletion of the article. I'm not responding in Bulgarian since it's not really appropriate here (it's the English language wikipedia) and we might get accused of something. I have tons of motives for my action, some of which I've mentioned on the deletion request page. But I do have a suggestion nevertheless. Why don't you try creating the very same article on the Bulgarian wikipedia and see for yourself what the reaction there would be. From the 5 or 6 active (or not that active in my case) Bulgarian contributors here 3 are of the opinion the article should be deleted and one of the others is not Bulgarian, but is certainly in love with Bulgaria.
- And just to make it clear - I do have substantial knowledge on the subject. You might notice that I was the one who added the info about the Batak massacre that you copy-pasted into the "genocide" article. I'm mentioning this just to parry any attempts of labeling me as incompetent or not understanding. It has happened in the past. If you want I'll give you even more reasons. Oh, and you must understand that I don't have anything against you or Bulgaria, but this is simply a case of something not being a Genocide. Поздрави.--Laveol T 12:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
