While the two sites exist and are notable, their inclusion together in a single article is odd; they are unrelated, apart from being in a certain proximity to one another. In addition, Drobolitza is modern Tripoli, Greece, and any information can and should be added there (cf. 'Etymology' section). Constantine ✍ 09:12, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Split, not delete. If Mouchli is notable, then deleting this article makes no sense. Assuming that the identification of Drobolitza with Tripoli is correct, then you could indeed merge some or all of the information about it there, keeping anything relevant to Mouchli, then move what remains to a better title (probably "Mouchli"). That would be consistent with the goals of the encyclopedia: preserving potentially useful knowledge, and making it accessible. P Aculeius (talk) 14:13, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree, a split could be in order.★Trekker (talk) 22:31, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - No problem with spinning off the little info there is to an article about Mouchli, I am happy to flesh it out in due course. But 'Drobolitza and Mouchli' as a topic and as a title (even as a redirect) makes no sense, it would be like having an article on 'Venta Silurum and Isca Augusta'.

Move to Mouchli without leaving a redirect. Remove extraneous material to Tripoli, Greece. Create Drobolitza redirect. In other words, what P Aculeius said. Srnec (talk) 11:23, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
