Biography

Boris I, also known as Boris-Mikhail (Michael) and Bogoris (died 2 May 907), was the ruler of the First Bulgarian Empire in 852–889. At the time of his baptism in 864, Boris was named Michael after his godfather, Emperor Michael III. The historian Steven Runciman called him one of the greatest persons in history.

Bulgaria-13 and Of Bulgaria-14 appear to represent the same person because: These were proposed merges for over three years. I attempted to merge and was told I couldn't as it was an "unmerged match" I removed the unmerged match, so need to propose the merge again since I am not on their trusted lists :-(

The text of both articles appears identical, including the links to other websites.

I am removing this ID from https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q311057 in favor of Bulgaria-13 which seems closer to our naming conventions. We can correct the ID anytime, but there can be only one...

Tsar Boris' two sons Vladimir and Simeon should be added as they ruled Bulgaria with and after him.

See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_of_Bulgaria and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simeon_I_of_Bulgaria for background info.

I don't understand the reason to postpone this merge. These are clearly the same person.
