The following text was added by @ Botushali:
A chrisobull of the Serbian Tsar Stefan Dušan that was given to the Monastery of Saint Mihail and Gavril in Prizren between the years of 1348-1353 states the presence of Albanians in the Plains of Dukagjin, and Albanians were mentioned as farmers in the great feud of Deçan. Entire Albanian villages were gifted by Serbian kings, particularly Stefan Dušan, as presents to the Serbian monastery of Deçan, as well as those of Prizren and Tetova. Serbian historian Stanojević would discover that, in the charters of Deçan, there were several cases where a father had an Albanian name and his son would have a Serbian name. This highlights the process of the Slavic assimilation of Albanians in these areas during the reign of the various Serbian emperors.
I have removed the text as it does not relate to the history of the town of Deçan itself in any manner. Some of the text has been recycled from the page
Botushë and similar text can be found in
Demographic history of Kosovo. I do not see the purpose of having this text added to random pages, when it rests rightfully within the page
Demographic history of Kosovo. In addition, the sentence This highlights the process of the Slavic assimilation of Albanians in these areas during the reign of the various Serbian emperors.
falls under
WP:EXTRAORDINARY, given that there is only one historian and one citation attached to the sentence. If you feel that this removal is undue or has the opportunity to be significantly reworded, please discuss.

The following are why it's relevant:
So, to sum it up, this passage of text is entirely relevant to the article. Your claim that a section of the passage is WP:EXTRAORDINARY is wrong, there are multiple sources which discuss the same thing, and can be cited if need be. You've gone ahead and reverted me under the pretext of "Justification for this removal made in the talk page", but there is really no justification here. Just because you don't like the content of a credible source, it does not mean you can remove it, and I'd suggest you stopped deleting relevant, cited passages for no good reason. There is no significant opportunity for rewording here, because nothing needs to be reworded beyond this text. Facts are facts, they must not be rewritten to suit the agendas of Wikipedia editors.

Conflict or not, this is an encyclopedia. The place was known for centuries under its Slavic/Serbian name, simply erasing it is not an option on Wiki and it throws a horrible light on the Kosovan and Albanian editors.
On Wiki, relevant name variants always belong in the first sentence of the article. Not in footnotes. It is a sign of stupidity to fight one's wars in encyclopedias.
For now I have added the necessary clarification at least in the History section:
Please try to use some reason and accept the civilised norms. Arminden ( talk) 12:46, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
