Delete. Looks like a flamebait, or at least a flamewar magnet. It seems to have been created a while ago by a single-purpose account. Without a single reference, it's completely untenable. I looked around other translations and saw links to:
- a reprint of an article - V. Jerlagić, Ideja “velike Bosne” nikada nije zaživjela (The idea of "greater Bosnia" never took off), Avaz, 2007?
- a book - Tomislav Bogavac, Nestajanje Srba (The disappearing of the Serbs), Niš, 1994.
- a book - Gavril Zanetov, Западни български земи и Сърбия (Western Bulgarian lands and Serbia) История и етнография, 1917. [1]
None of these seem like particularly reliable sources to support the actual existence of the idea, or at least I don't see the notability. Certainly seems more like yet another fringe theory given undue weight with a standalone article. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 23:50, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete original research. Doesn't appear to be a genuine and notable movement at any particular time. MLA (talk) 12:40, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The term "Greater Bosnia" has a few GHits (some are mirrors of this article), but I can find no generally accepted meaning, nothing to support this article, and nothing which appears to be a reliable source describing a notable concept. Also, Treaty of Berlin (1878), which is linked in the article, doesn't mention it. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:14, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
