The whole basis of this category is wrong: a) "Macedonian people" here is deliberate misdirection since these were Sclaveni leaders, and it is by no means certain that the Sclaveni were fully Slavs or, even more, the ancestors of the modern ethnic Macedonians, while b) the list itself is hogwash: St. Demetrius had nothing to do with the 6th century, while two of the others are not even related to Macedonia, since both Akameros and Tihomir were active in Thessaly, not Macedonia, and not in the 6th century either.

- Delete - the nominator makes a compelling case and his analysis would seem to be backed by reliable sources. The Demetrius in question is, as far as I can tell, Demetrius of Thessaloniki, an early 4th century martyr, though the link goes to a disambig page. Anyway, for lack of any reliable sources to verify any of the contents contained therein, this should be deleted. Stalwart111 01:42, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - It looks like the author was intending to create a List or category; but in any case, reliable sources are needed, and there are none supplied. --Noleander (talk) 05:09, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
