Originally researched article (for the most part) and completely redundant since the same information is already covered in National emblem of North Macedonia. StephenMacky1 (talk) 21:43, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, this is an unnecessary article. Jingiby (talk) 05:38, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. I note that most of the titles of this article in the other wikis translate to "Macedonian lion". If the Macedonian lion is notable enough, it can have its own standalone article with that title. It is a rather prominent symbol for some ethnic Macedonian orgs (such as VMRO-DPMNE). I otherwise agree that the potential for the lion to become the national emblem can just be covered in the National Emblem article. --Local hero ^talk 15:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  It doesn't appear to be notable for its own standalone article. Otherwise there's already content about it on National symbols of North Macedonia. StephenMacky1 (talk) 15:28, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. The lion used by DPMNE is solely an imitation of the symbols of the original organization from the end of the 19th century -
  Bulgarian lion from the Bulgarian revolutionary traditions, that have nothing to do with any Macedonian lion. Jingiby (talk) 19:04, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply
