Talk:George of Kratovo

Serbian POV content

I know you rely mostly on Serbian sources, but it cannot have been difficult to find out that this saint is considered Bulgarian in Bulgaria and venerated as Saint George the New of Sofia (св. Георги Нови Софийски), as per the place of his martyrdom. Of course, Macedonians also claim him because of his birthplace falling within their borders, and the name "Saint George of Kratovo" (or "... of Sofia and Kratovo": Софийски и Кратовски) is not unheard of in Bulgarian. So I'd propose renaming this to Saint George of Kratovo or something and getting rid of obviously unsustainable POV like qualifying this 16th-century person nationally.

And in such cases when the nationalist Bulgarian, Serbian and Macedonian POVs clearly collide, I'd very much try to avoid sources from each particular country (unless we're talking about general facts) and try to find English sources, which may be a safer bet neutrality-wise (not guaranteed, of course). I am not a fan of this narrow style of editing you've been practicing, where you create (otherwise often very informative) articles that only feature a Serbian POV and rely on mostly Serbian sources. This presents a danger to Wikipedia's neutrality in my opinion.

Let this discussion also encompass Peja (priest) / Peyo, of which this article is a semi-fork. — Toдor Boжinov — 17:47, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

+1 for renaming the article. We've also already discussed the heavy usage of Serbian diacritics in similar articles. It is simply unreadable in English and there is virtually no way of guessing that his name is Georgi, akin of George. I also suggest describing him as a Christian Saint like it is done in the Serbian Wikipedia. I am really amazed that the Serbian article is, in fact, much more neutral.--Laveol ^T 10:42, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
