Which sources on GBooks do you feel constitute significant coverage?
- Disney High: The Untold Story of the Rise and Fall of Disney Channel's Tween Empire -- just quotes him (WP:PRIMARYSOURCE), gives zero biographical info
- Disney A to Z: The Official Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition and International Television & Video Almanac -- just directory listings that say nothing about him except what character he played
- Hunks, Hotties, and Pretty Boys: Twentieth-Century Representations of Male Beauty -- brings him up for less than a sentence
- Television Movies of the 21st Century -- also a directory listing that says nothing about him
- The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows, 1946-Present -- ditto
- Cable Vision and TV Guide -- only name him passingly in reference to his character
Literally all these sources do is confirm that he played a character. They say nothing about him biographically and are just routine directory listings. Which ones do you feel are sigcov? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:26, 9 February 2026 (UTC)
- After further analysing the secondary sources, I've changed my response on the AfD. IJA (talk) 17:30, 9 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you. I'm trying to be nicer and more in-depth when I question other editors on the integrity of sources. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 18:22, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Draft review request
Hello ija, I recently created a draft biography about the Albanian singer Naldi and I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at it when you have time. Here is the draft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Naldi_(singer) If anything needs improvement or correction, please let me know. Thank you very much for your help. ~2026-16271-76 (talk) 21:39, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hey, sorry for the late response. The draft page has been deleted therefore I'm unable to review it for you. King regards IJA (talk) 10:04, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
Kosovo War — War begins
The Battle of Babaloć should be removed from the article. The claim of “its history” isn’t valid because it has no significance to the war. Glodjane, Junik, and Deçan are all nearby, and they are of much higher significance.

- Why do you think it should be removed? IJA (talk) 07:00, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
- It was not a significant clash in the region, nor did it have any significance to the war. The Kosovo War article doesn’t mention every single clash, it only mentions those of significance. WP:NOTNEWS Shqiptar1999 (talk) 20:30, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
- Most battles in WW1 didn't have any significance to the war. Should we delete them articles too aye? IJA (talk) 08:11, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
- They have their own articles, Babaloć doesn’t have its own standalone article. It is an insignificant clash and the only clashes mentioned in those 5 paragraphs are clashes that were significant to the war. Shqiptar1999 (talk) 15:49, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
- What makes you think it is "insignificant"? IJA (talk) 16:52, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
- And what makes the other clashes significant? IJA (talk) 16:53, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
- Situated between three significant places. 1. Junik, the most strategically important territory that was held by the KLA, near VJ base of Košare, on a highway.
- 2. Dečan, an important town in western Kosovo under MUP and VJ control, linking Ðakovica and Peć, on a highway.
- 3. Glodjane, one of the strongest centres of resistance of the KLA, Ramush Haradinaj who became the PM and was the commander of the KLA in Metohija was defending this village.
- All three had significant value to the war effort while Babaloć did not. Shqiptar1999 (talk) 18:32, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
- It was the first major battle between the KLA and Yugoslav forces. It's extremely significant for this reason. IJA (talk) 04:58, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- Additionally, it was a battle that a future Kosovan Prime Minister took part in. This just makes it even more notable. IJA (talk) 05:18, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
