The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 20:01, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, Albania was part of the Ottoman Empire so a separate descent category is not very meaningful in this case. "Albanian" is not defining for the one article in the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:24, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but I do wonder if creating a redirect to People of Albanian descent OR Albanian people from the Ottoman Empire, might be helpful in discouraging the page's recreation Mason (talk) 14:22, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
