[edit] Salatyn Asgarova
- Delete It seems she is just a journalist who died during a war, theres nothing notable about this person, alot of POV search engines lack info. Artaxiad 23:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't have enough background to assess this individual's notability, but I fear that this may be a POV or WP:POINT nomination. See generally Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan. Newyorkbrad 00:47, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep all people awarded the National Heroes of Azerbaijan title (that is the highest decoration of Azerbaijan, similar to the Hero of the Soviet Union, National Hero of Armenia, Hero of Russia or Hero of Ukraine) are inherently notable Alex Bakharev 01:34, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- weak keep per some of the other non-notable people kept.--Sefringle 03:34, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep This lady is a National Hero of Azerbaijan, and I share the opinion of Newyorkbrad about possible motives of nomination. Grandmaster 05:23, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep Not only is she a National Hero of Azerbaijan, but she is one of very few female war correspondents from Azerbaijan as well. And search engines do have articles about her - in English, Russian and Azerbaijani (under alternative spellings of her name as well).--Zondi 06:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep she is National Hero (I think the only woman) and has streets named after her, a statue, etc. She is very notable in the context of Azerbaijan, and specifically NK war. When she was killed it was greatly mourned. --adil 07:22, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well there's no third party sources, google search engines barely come up with anything, so this is appropriate for deletion or no reliable sources, if this is really a hero. Artaxiad 04:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Azerbaijan-related deletions. -- ⇒ bsnowball 09:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Actually, there are third-party sources about her -- for example, here are three from Russian sources: [1], [2], [3] Sometimes Azerbaijani names get different spellings, making it harder to pin point references. --adil 05:41, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Most Russian sources are associated with Azeri, if it talks about Azeri-related topics obviously, the references added to the article are POV and inappropriate, you should help expand the article instead of going around in other articles and reverting, just a tip since alot of Azeri related articles need expansion especially off Armenian related articles. Are those Russian sources reliable? if you state them provide a explanation since its a requirement if your seeking to expand the article, which most users would do when a "important" article is on Afd. Artaxiad 01:38, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- The burden of proof is on your side, Artaxiad, it is up to you to prove that those 100% Russian sources, which generally favor the Armenian side, are somehow biased, POV, pro-Azerbaijani. And what can be pro-Azeri in mentioning some basic facts about Salatyn Askerova? By doing this you seem to subconsciously admit that you try to delete pages, articles, references that have anything good or positive about Azerbaijan and its people, even if they are about a killed young woman journalist, who left a son to grow without a mother. --adil 05:50, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
