The result of the debate was Keep. --Chaser T 08:29, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Invented, non existence term. --Albanau 16:08, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Very Weak Delete - it is unquestionably a real term. It has plenty of non-trivial google hits. However, that aside, looking at the article, it seems unlikely that the article could ever be more than a dictionary definition and/or a POV war. As it stands right now, the only content it has is unusably POV. I would say merge, but there isn't anything useful to merge. BigDT 22:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Current contents not a reason for deletion. - FrancisTyers · 22:59, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
*Delete I've heard the term and it has googles. But I agree with BigDT - it is going nowhere apart from a dictionary definition. --manchesterstudent 22:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC) Withdrawn given the book list below. Now *Weak Keep Still have concerns about where the article can go and hope it undergoes revision. --manchesterstudent 23:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Term is used in scholarly publications relating to the subject. Has appeared in Foreign Relations, Historical Journal, Sociology, among others. - FrancisTyers · 22:59, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - 54 book references to Albanization or Albanisation. bogdan 22:59, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Term was used, like BigDT noticed, in non-trivial manner. Sure, it needs expanding. However, why does everyone think of Albanisation as a negative/positive term. It's quite neutral imho, and it describes a phenomenon that does happen. --dcabrilo 23:01, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per above. —Khoikhoi 00:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to close as Speedy Keep - the article has been edited to have actual content and no longer resembles the one originally brought up for deletion. BigDT 01:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
DELETE- Albanisation or Albanization is obviously an unfounded term, having no litteratural or encyclopedic value, for example, compare Albanization/Albanisation with Hellenization/Hellenisation, Globalization/Globalisation, or Islamization/Islamisation. Albanization is just a shortening of "Albanian assimilation", the term itself does not exist. --Albanau 16:38, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Vote struck out as duplicate vote by nominator. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep clearly a real and notable concept. Eluchil404 06:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- "clearly a real and notable concept", any evidence for that? Is there any evidence at all that it is a term? really I would like to know! --Albanau 10:20, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- bogdan found it at google books. That proves that someone has used the term and it's not simply a neologism posted to wiipedia. Notability is more subjective. Eluchil404 23:25, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per above. --MaNeMeBasat 05:08, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
