Province centers
I've yet to see a decent article, and some are missing.
 * Blagoevgrad - existed as a bare outline; not quite extended to Usable yet
 * Burgas
 * Dobrich - created, outline closer to Usable
 * Gabrovo
 * Haskovo
 * Kardzhali - needs cleanup of the sights (text, structure and inclusion, there are out-of-town ones)
 * Kyustendil - created, almost usable; needs split sights/museums, hiking details and map, nearby section, better Understand, routebox, etc
 * Lovech
 * Montana (Bulgaria) - created, outline
 * Pazardzhik - created, outline
 * Pernik - created, outline
 * Pleven
 * Plovdiv
 * Razgrad
 * Ruse
 * Shumen
 * Silistra
 * Sliven
 * Smolyan
 * Sofia - almost empty Understand; poor organisation of sights; needs Nearby
 * Stara Zagora
 * Targovishte - created, usable; needs listings for sub-locations
 * Varna - to do: expand orientation, more See stuff + organize, Nearby, Go next
 * Veliko Tarnovo - intro and Eat/Drink sections cleaned up; no mapframe, needs preview image
 * Vidin - outdated outline, no mapframe or listings, needs a lot of copyediting
 * Vratsa
 * Yambol

Not province centers
For variety's sake.
 * Petrich and Rupite
 * Sandanski
 * Svishtov and Belene - does Nikopol go there, or in Pleven?
 * The Balkans: Troyan, Kotel
 * The Rose Valley: Koprivshtitsa, Panagyurishte, Sopot (Bulgaria)

Black Sea coast
Probably not everything is worthy of a separate article, but figuring out how to combine them can be tricky. North to south:
 * Northern Sea Coast:
 * Durankulak - beach, camping site, archeological site; adm Shabla
 * Krapets - beach, camping site
 * Shabla - cape Shabla and the lighthouse; pop. 3000
 * Tyulenovo - the arch and other rock formations, only oil field in Bulgaria; adm. Shabla
 * Kamen Bryag - Yaylata National Reserve; pop. 69 (lol), adm Kavarna
 * Rusalka Beach - ??? part of Kamen Bryag or Kavarna?
 * Bolata Nature Reserve - there's a hiking trail to Kavarna
 * cape Kaliakra and its fortress - presumably part of Kavarna
 * Balgarevo - mostly irrelevant except for accommodation?
 * Kavarna - they have another fortress?
 * the golf resorts, part of Kavarna or Balchik?
 * Balchik - odd villa zones and hotel complexes to the south, Albena or Balchik?
 * Albena Resort - standalone or together with Kranevo?
 * Kranevo - also a fishing village, small port
 * Golden Sands
 * Chayka - part of Golden Sands
 * Saints Constantine and Helena (formerly Druzhba) - incl. Euxinograd Palace
 * Varna
 * Rakitnika/Pasha Dere - part of Varna? beaches, Nature Park? nudists?
 * mouth of Kamchiya River / Resort of Kamchiya - protected area, beach, restaurant, camping area; part of Varna or Shkorpilovtsi adm Avren !!!
 * Shkorpilovtsi - beaches, Kara Dere?, kind of remote, adm Dolni Chiflik !!!
 * Byala - pop 2000
 * Southern Sea Coast: (the geographic dividing line is actually Cape Emine, but the province border passes between Byala and Obzor)
 * Obzor - pop 2000, adm. Nesebar
 * Irakli beach - lol, probably should mention the history wherever I put it; nudists?
 * cape Emine and Emona
 * Sveti Vlas
 * Sunny Beach
 * Nesebar
 * Ravda - pop 2500, include in Nesebar?, adm Nesebar
 * Pomorie - down there, salt is a way of life
 * Sarafovo - outlaying neighborhood of Burgas; for some reason someone made an article
 * Burgas incl St. Anastasia Island
 * Chernomorets - add to Sozopol (adm)
 * Sozopol, including Ravadinovo (puke), St. Cyricus Island, St. Ivan Island (+ relics story)
 * Dyuni - presumably part of Sozopol, Paul Atreides was not available for comment
 * Arkutino Beach - someone felt the need to mention it in the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast article
 * Beglik Tash, St. Thomas Island, Maslen Nos, etc.
 * Ropotamo Nature Reserve and Snake Island (St. Thomas, cacti) - part of Primorsko
 * Primorsko
 * Kiten - another already existing article; adm Primorsko
 * Tsarevo - pop 6000
 * Varvara - who made this? this and everything below is in Strandzha Nature Park
 * Ahtopol - pop 1000, I thought it was bigger; nudists? adm Tsarevo
 * Sinemorets - and the mouth of Veleka; pop 500
 * Rezovo and Rezovska River - another pre-existing questionable article

Map experiments
In theory, tourism regions should be able to be displayed by using lists of the Wikidata IDs of constituent municipalities in the mapshape template. In practice, it turns out that:
 * not all municipalities have mutual links with their OpenStreetMap entities
 * large city municipalities are treated by OpenStreetMap as synonymous with their city and link to that city's Wikidata entry instead of the municipality entry, breaking the data lookup mechanism
 * province entities work fine (see the map), but those are of no use - the tourism regions are assigned at municipal, not province level

So I don't have to look for them again

 * Template:Obsolete
 * Template:Section link

Brainstorming region names
So I don't forget my ideas again. Same numbers as in Talk:Bulgaria.
 * 1) Rila and Pirin, Southwestern Bulgaria? (currently Pirin Macedonia)
 * 2) Capital Region of Bulgaria, Sofia and Kraishte, Sofia Region, retain Bulgarian Shopluk <- least favored.
 * 3) Rhodope Mountains - the same?
 * 4) The Valley of Roses (new)
 * 5) Bulgarian Thrace, retain Northern Thrace
 * 6) Balkan Mountains
 * 7) Danubian Bulgaria, Danube Bulgaria, Danubian Plain (geographically ambiguous, see Danubian Plain), retain North Bulgaria (geographically imprecise, Northern Bulgaria is everything north of the Balkan Mountains; inconsistent with the name Northern Thrace)
 * 8) Northern Coast of Bulgaria (the country borders only one sea, so specifying "Black Sea Coast" or just "Sea Coast" is unnecessary), Varna Sea Coast (currently both the last items are Bulgarian Black Sea Coast)
 * 9) Southern Coast of Bulgaria, Burgas Sea Coast

Routebox stuff
