A POV DAB that doesn't meet guidelines or provide readers any meaningful navigation. No objection to a redirect to War crimes in the Kosovo War or a consensus target  //  Timothy ::  talk  09:19, 18 November 2023 (UTC) reply

• Keep I don't see how this page is POV, it simply offers redirects for the user to different ethnic cleansing campaigns that took place within Kosovo throughout the 20th century. If you could elaborate on your concerns about the DAB, I'd be happen to discuss this dispute in further detail. Yung Doohickey ( talk) 03:03, 19 November 2023 (UTC) reply
• Keep. While War crimes in the Kosovo War is indeed the most likely target for those typing "Ethnic cleansing in Kosovo" into the search box, the DAB is helpful, and doesn't present an obvious POV, as far as I can tell. Owen× ☎ 15:19, 19 November 2023 (UTC) reply
• Keep useful dab and not POV imo. AryKun ( talk) 17:50, 19 November 2023 (UTC) reply
• Strong delete. This is not a dab page at all, just an WP:OR collection of articles that violates WP:DABCONCEPT: "If the primary meaning of a term proposed for disambiguation is a broad concept or type of thing that is capable of being described in an article, and a substantial portion of the links asserted to be ambiguous are instances or examples of that concept or type, then the page located at that title should be an article describing it and not a disambiguation page." All the links are "instances or examples". Clarityfiend ( talk) 01:43, 20 November 2023 (UTC) reply

  I don't necessarily see what qualifies as OR in this DAB. The rule you've provided, if applicable, would turn this page into an article, and it wouldn't need to be deleted. Yung Doohickey ( talk) 05:47, 20 November 2023 (UTC) reply

• Googling "Ethnic cleansing in/of Kosovo" brings up only what happened in the Kosovo War, so I'm changing my lvote to redirect to War crimes in the Kosovo War. Possibly a redirect hatnote could be added there for the other articles (though not Yugoslav colonization of Kosovo, as less violent means were employed than is the case of ethnic cleansing).

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Keep per above. NYC Guru ( talk) 10:45, 26 November 2023 (UTC) reply
• Keep 4 valid entries. Boleyn ( talk) 09:39, 27 November 2023 (UTC) reply
• Keep as I can reasonably imagine at least a few people every year searching for the term while thinking of a particular campaign of ethnic cleansing. The entries all address ethnic cleansing in the region that is modern-day Kosovo. ~ Pbritti ( talk) 19:59, 2 December 2023 (UTC) reply
