I everybody. I really need to know which Ottoman document talks about muslim families that settled in Gusinje after the expulsion from Granada. does someone knows where it is conserved? Thamk you...

Serbian propaganda.

Whom ever here is editing nonsense, stop. I have just seen a change mentioning how a few families are of serb origin, specifically Cekic, they are not the Cekic from Serbia. They are the Cekic from Trieshi and are Albanian. Excine (talk) 03:35, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dedushaj

Dedushaj was a secondary school teacher and Albanian nationalist activist in the 90s, not an academic or scholar. [1] His book does not contain any publisher's information, which is a dead giveaway that it is self-published. [2] I will WP:AGF that the users adding Dedushaj across multiple articles are unaware of his lack of credentials and/or Wikipedia's rules pertaining to reliable sources, but further additions will be considered disruptive.

The reality is that for most parts which use Dedushaj as a citation, there are other sources(e. g. Bartl (1976)) What is the disputed content by Dedushaj in the case of the Shabanagaj family? When I used Dedushaj in Gusinje Municipality, I did so because he has written about the family's background before Ali Pasha of Gusinje, who is the only member of the family known in international sources.--Maleschreiber (talk) 06:17, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're both creating a false equivalence. Those authors were published by reputable publishing houses. One is a journalist and the other is a scholar, whereas the one you are defending here is self-published and a secondary school teacher. WP:SELFPUBLISHED by itself is sufficient to circumvent WP:RSN.

It's the same issue as two years ago: Rexhep Dedushaj, is a historian from Gusinje whose book is on its 4th edition offline. It is regularly used as bibliography by historians like Marenglen Verli, member of the Academy of Sciences of Albania in his work about Plav/Plava-Gusinje/Gucia (it has full bibliographical details - I used the same) Is there something from the details about local history in Dedushaj (1992) which you dispute - two years after our first discussion? The book isn't used for politics or subjects which can't be confirmed in other sources. --Maleschreiber (talk) 19:45, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
