Nope. No former minority templates please. This is POV-pushing. If we go by this frivolous logic, then all the cities in the entire English Wikipedia should be flooded by the "former X minority" templates. From New York to Istanbul, and so on. This is unacceptable. Tags: Manual revert Reverted |

Katavothra (Greek: Καταβόθρα, Albanian: Luarat) is a village in Thesprotia, Epirus, Greece.[2][3]
Until the end of World War II it was mainly inhabited by a Cham Albanian community.[citation needed] During the Interwar period the gendarmerie of Preveza under colonel Stavrakakis often sent notifications to the High Administration of Epirus concerning the activities of the Albanian mayor of the town Daut Buza, which the gendarmerie labeled as anti-national.[4] The semi-demolished minaret of the mosque of present-day Katavothra is one of the very few which still stood after World War II in the region.
