It is just too short to be included in Wikipedia. I didn't CSD it for no context as you can identify the subject. Sports Devotee (talk) 09:58, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep on the basis that "Too short to be included" is not a valid reason. See WP:AFDISNTCLEANUP ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 14:27, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Prilep perhaps as Delete only if perhaps needed, certainly not currently acceptable anyway though. SwisterTwister talk 05:11, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Prilep – While "too short" is, indeed, not a valid reason to delete an article, I searched for a good amount of time using both "Ali Čair" and "Али Чаир" and couldn't find much potential for this to be expanded. The relevant notability guideline here is WP:GEOLAND, which already sets a pretty low bar for notability: you only need to show legal recognition of a populated place. However, neither the terms "Ali Čair" nor "Али Чаир" appear on the 2002 Macedonian census. The Macedonian-language Wikipedia has an article at mk:Али Чаир (археолошки локалитет), but it appears to deal with an archaeological site in the Prilep area and has only one reference to an offline map. A few of the sources I found through a general web search seem to deal with that rather than the suburb[1]. A machine translation of this source seems to call it a neighborhood, rather than a suburb, as does this source. A Google Books search for "Али Чаир" holds some promise: I found this book titled Prilep and Prilep throughout history which appears to have a section dedicated to Али Чаир. Ultimately, however, without evidence of legal recognition, this alone isn't enough to demonstrate standalone notability. The two sources I mentioned earlier that called it a neighborhood seem to associate it with Prilep, so absent an indication that this is notable and can be expanded, I have to say redirect. Are there any Macedonian-language speakers that can help? Mz7 (talk) 04:15, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or redirect - there's not much there in there. Bearian (talk) 19:43, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - We should perhaps merge it with Prilep and make a new section of neighborhoods and disricts, so then Prilep get's upgraded to B Class, who agrees? I am also a Serbian speaker, I petrol these pages, some of my relatives live around Prilep Audi1merc2 (Talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:20, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
