Proposed action

I propose to delete redirect and to expand it into an Albania (Balkans) which can be expanded into an article like it was before redirecting

Rationale

There is an article Albania (placename) which subject are three different geographical regions with name Albania:

1. Caucasian Albania
2. Albania (Balkans)
3. Albania (Scotland)

All above mentioned regions have their own articles except Albania (Balkans) which was redirected to article about Republic of Albania.

The rationale for deleting the redirect and creating separate article for Balkan region of Albania can be summarized like:

1. Albania (Balkan region) is notable topic which has significant coverage of reliable and neutral sources and according to Wikipedia:Notability deserves its own article.
2. what is known as region of Albania changed over the time. Sometimes it included much bigger or much smaller territory than what is today known as region of Albania
3. A territory of the state which name was Albania was sometimes much bigger or smaller than region Albania

I think that having redirect over Albania (Balkans) can:

1. make it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine
2. cause confusion when in fact
3. redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article.
