[edit] Armenian Court of Administrative Appeals

Armenian Court of Administrative Appeals (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The article's title appears to be about an organization while the article itself appears to be about a person. In addition, the image caption supposedly shows the person working inside a building but the image merely shows the building; there's no proof that that person is inside the building.

  • Keep a very simple edit stops it being about a person. The image caption does not refer to a person, simply to the building. Article certainly needs expansion, it is marked as a stub, and has now been catted too, which will attract interested editors. DuncanHill 14:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless the existence of this entity can be confirmed. I tried a Google search, and came up with exactly 1 hit, to a Wikipedia page. I am willing to accept the possibility that the court has a different official name and that's why I am not finding any information at all, but unless someone can demonstrate its existence by the end of this AfD I cannot support keeping this article.

Comment According the the Armenian Government website here [1] the highest court in Armenia is the Court of Cassation. Suspect this article, and the individual linked to it (who has no google hits), of being hoaxes. DuncanHill 14:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: Potential hoax; the article itself is very weak at that anyhow. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 15:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I think this may be a hoax. Slobodan Borisovic Iwanief is not an Armenian name Lurker 16:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as Hoax. As others note the alleged justice's name isn't Armenian, no verifiable references to the alleged institution, article appears to be written as a (pretty thin) spoof on Armenia. Bigdaddy1981 06:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per DuncanHill. Tempshill 18:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • keep I think the initial afd incorrect. This article should be kept until someone with knowledge can say if it is or isn't a hoax. The article might be refferring to the building's name or reputation, rather than current application. DDB 20:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC) changed mind DDB 06:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
    Uh, that's not really the way Verifiability works. Unless there's a source for the existence of this, the article ought to be deleted. I haven't had any more luck finding verification than Arkyan has. If someone finds a source before the end of the AfD period, great, we'll keep the article. If someone finds a source after the end of the AfD period, great, we can create a new article based on the source. But no source, no article. In the meanwhile, it would be great to have Court of Cassation (Armenia) not be a redlink-- Jonel | Speak 21:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment So we know this sebbs guy, the article creator, doesn't exist? I'd support an afd if it was for an unverifiable article, however, the afd was for the apparent confusion regarding the article's purpose. If in fact this is known to be a hoax, and not presupposed by individuals who have no idea, then it should be speedy deleted .. right? DDB 06:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
      • Comment Oops, I just followed your verifiability link. I'll leave my high horse and change that to ""delete"" apologies for being slow DDB 06:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep - Armenia is a nation and I am sure it must have courts, probably including a court of appeal. The article is thus credible; whether it is right is a differnet question, on which I cannot judge. Rather too much of it is about the cheif justice, who has his own article (also credible, though somewhat bare). In dealing with a foreign country, you should not expect to find English language websites for everything you want. Don't delete it, just apply a couple more tags, in strengthen doubts about it. Peterkingiron 23:11, 7 June 2007 (UTC) Comment - On further consideration, I now wonder whether this is a hoax, in which case it should be deleted. The biographical detail on the alleged chief justice is very thin on detail as to where he worked while in USA, which ought to be more verifiable. Peterkingiron 23:31, 7 June 2007 (UTC) Vote changed to delete The more I look the more I am convinced this is a Hoax. I can find nothing on Google about the alleged Chief Justice except derived from WP. Furthermore, 'Lord' is an unlikely title in an ex-Soviet country. Peterkingiron 10:15, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
