Delete Completely unverified.--TMD Talk Page. 01:57, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- I have just spent a few minutes on formatting the text to make it readable. This appears to be about a "state" created during a rebellion in 1878 that lasted barely two months. If this happened at all, it is better treated as an incident in the war of which it was part or of the hisotry of the tonw or village where it took place. A state with an army of 150 men hardly soundfs notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:20, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify, for sourcing and a subsequent decision on how and where to use verified content. I can find one apparently reliable source in English referring to, and apparently discussing in some detail, these events as the Pijanec uprising - unfortunately, only snippets are visible through GBooks, though even these could be used for sourcing a couple of statements in the article. Judging from these and a few almost certainly unreliable sources (in Wikipedia terms), it seems to have been a temporarily successful attempt by survivors of the Razlovtsi insurrection, including Dimitar Popgeorgiev and Ilyo Voyvoda, to liberate a smallish area in present-day eastern Macedonia (and possibly straddling the current Macedonian/Bulgarian border) in the immediate aftermath of Turkish defeat in the Russo-Turkish War (1877–78). The Russian military support that the insurgents were counting on never arrived, but the Turks came back in after a couple of months. A few months later, after the Treaty of Berlin restored present-day Macedonia and southern Bulgaria to Ottoman rule, some of the uprising's leaders helped organise the Kresna–Razlog Uprising which, while apparently mainly centred in present-day southern Bulgaria, seems also to have involved parts of eastern Macedonia. While the Pijanec uprising seems to have got rather less notice than either its predecessor or successor uprisings, it still looks as if it has enough importance to get at least a mention in related articles and that further sources in Macedonian (and possibly Bulgarian) would be worth looking for.
