[edit] Ardzruni

VfD tag added to article on August 20 by Aranda56, but nothing else apparently done at that time. Came across article while looking through history stubs. No opinion myself as of yet on whether it should be kept or not. Caerwine 20:01, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

• Oops, sorry, I forgot about that page. There is no hope for the page. It had been tagged for cleanup since Oct 2004 - almost a year - and i searched Google for some of the rulers of Ardzruni and there werent even listed there not counting the wikipedia pages. I have this feeling that this might be nonsense in the rulers side even Ardzuni all its info I found in Google was also from wikipedia pages Heavy Clean Up Or Strong Delete--Aranda56 00:52, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

• • That's okay, it happens to all of us sometimes. Anyway, I did some research of my own, and, although "Ardzruni" does seem to be {[1],[2], [3]) a legitimate name in Armenian history, I'm forced to concur that this page is so incoherent as to be unsalvageable - unless someone wants to rewrite it from scratch, in which case we might as well just delete it anyway and start over with a clean edit history.

• Keep. I have cleaned up the English. No justification for deletion. Linking one name to another article has given some corroboration. Charles Matthews 07:54, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Although I can't find a secondary source confirming all the names, there is no doubt from a search of Google and a few hits in articles on JSTOR (search Ardzrouni as an alternative spelling) that this was a significant dynasty of regional rulers in Armenia during a the first millennium. Edit or comment out whatever seems difficult to confirm; there is no reason to delete the entire article. Tupsharru 09:06, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. After Charles' cleanup, this is an acceptible article. As for verifying the info here with Google, I'm not surprised that a topic like this (i.e., detailed or esoteric) would get short shrift from a search there. (I do wonder about whether we'll be able to keep this article from becoming a target for hoaxes & cranks, though.) -- llywrch 19:19, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
