For Meowy,

we do not have clear criteria for identifying a person as famous, less famous or not famous at all. The very concrete person (Prof. Amiraslanov) is a famous person in Azerbaijan at least, there are frequent media reports about him.

Again, it is a matter of procedures we should use. There should be clarity on rules. So, I'd ask you please not to delete the cited information until we have a clarity on rules.

 * Well, first of all the section "Famous people from the town" is not the normal wording for this sort of section. In most cases it is called something like "Famous Residents" or "Notable Residents". There does appear to be no clarity of rules about what sort of person should be in that category. However, if this guide is followed WP:Famous_Residents, then Amiraslanov is not a suitable name to be included. Personally, I think meeting all 3 suggested criteria is too strict - but tell me, do you think Amiraslanov fits even one of those criteria? If someone were to propose that the Ahliman Amiraslanov article should be deleted because he is not notable, I'm pretty certain it would be deleted. On the basis of the content of that article, he is completely non notable. Mere frequency of mention doesn't mean notability - he has to have actually done something that makes him notable!

Please see article Ahliman Amiraslanov. So, as you can do in the updated article, he is a scientist with contributions. I think he is notable. I do agree that he is not as famous as William Churchill. But he is definitely not less famous than e.g. Aramais Sahakyanor Vartkes Serengülian. Frankly speaking, it would be hardly possible to set and implement the same level of merits and criteria for 'famous' persons.
