Esmerald Aluku

Aluku played 18 matches in just one football season for a Slovak football club and has not been active in the football world since, meaning that he quietly retired afterwards. I'm not familiar with Albanian sources, so I can't tell whether or not there are significant coverage of him. No Albanian Wikipedia exists to copy over, either. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A.

Battle of Krujë (1415)

Fails WP:GNG. The subject does not appear to receive significant coverage in reliable secondary sources as a distinct battle. Most sources describe the Ottoman capture of Krujë in 1415 as part of a broader campaign rather than a standalone notable battle. ArchivioItalia ✉ 12:47, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Information Note: This formal merge proposal was originally opened on the article's talk page. Following the March 2026 RfC, formal merge discussions are now held at AfD rather than the historical Proposed article mergers process (PAM). I've moved the discussion accordingly per WP:TPO.

Proposed merger into 2026 Zvërnec protests

Per WP:SUMMARYSTYLE and WP:CONTENTFORK, the topic may be better covered as a section within the main protest article unless substantial independent coverage demonstrating separate notability is available. Lanceloth345 (talk) 16:24, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged for failing WP:GNG since Sep 2024 and I can't see even a passing of WP:SPORTBASIC #5 really. I only found one source that was more than just a trivial mention here but it's just a quote from him in relation to an own goal. The only bit about him outside of the quote is The 20-year-old also appreciates the attitude held by the administrator Sinan Idrizi, after the match with Besa, which is not enough to count for significant coverage in isolation. Aside from that article, all I can find are single trivial mentions like this, which do not confer any notability whatsoever. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 10:50, 17 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Does not pass WP:NACTOR. Huffpost may count towards WP:NBASIC, but its still just one such source. Queens Chronicle and NY Daily News look iterview-based, and therefore aren't secondary sources. Janhrach (talk) 14:03, 9 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: California and New York. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:20, 9 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I don't see where he's done any notable roles. A few of the films are notable, but his parts appear to be minor and offhand I can't find any mention of him in RS reviews. As far as production goes, that's difficult to establish notability for because what a producer does can vary depending on the film. Sometimes it's a sign that a person does a lot, sometimes they're just nominal. You'd need coverage and sometimes even major awards to establish notability, assuming the films themselves are notable. I'll try to keep digging. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 16:05, 10 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- Mike Dusi does not have enough media coverage to pass WP:NACTOR. Deerknows (talk) 11:35, 13 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: The overall notability here is extremely marginal. His film roles are pretty non-notable. He's received some coverage for the production roles, but not a lot. It's also almost solely local coverage, so it doesn't really show how he's notable outside of his hometown. The Illyria source is questionable since when I clicked it, I got a dead link. I am leaning towards him being non-notable. The best I could find otherwise is a review for one of his more visible roles and a Variety source that mentions that he was an AP in the cast/crew section. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 16:36, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    My thought so far is to redirect him to Dorm of the Dead since that appears to be one of his more known roles, such as it is. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 16:37, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
