"Falcon" spetsnaz soldier

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I find it hard to determine what this article is even about: a kind of military unit, surely, but of what country (Georgia? Russia? Azerbaijan?) is not clear. I also see no reliable sources, and the tone is rather promotional at times (although the grammar is so bad that it's hard to make out what exactly is claimed).

 * Ok, judging from this page it looks like it's an Azerbaijani unit. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 16:54, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep I know it is not a perfect page. But popular subject. Non-english, but still.  Occult Zone  ( Talk ) 07:27, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to claim existence of a 'Falcon' special unit in the Azerbaijan Internal Troops. However there's nothing here that could be merged to Internal Troops of Azerbaijan. Would need to be coherent and have references. Buckshot06 (talk) 10:24, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment I am slightly surprised that no previous participant in this discussion seems to have looked at the Azerbaijani version of this article and tried putting it through Google Translate - to save anybody else the bother, though, it comes out word by word the same as this article. I suspect that the Azerbaijani article actually makes sense, and that Google is simply rather poor at translating Azerbaijani into English. If we have anyone here who understands Azerbaijani, the original article also contains some external links. However, I note that the couple that were originally in the translation have since been deleted by the nominator because they linked to Youtube - the rest don't seem to be to Youtube, but what looked like the most promising was to a dead link. There could be a notable topic here, but if so, Google Translate is simply nowhere near up to the job and better references would be needed. Finally, the article creator's edits, at least on English Wikipedia, all look like Google translations from Azerbaijani - he or she would be well advised to learn enough English to understand just how horrible those translations are before they try making any further edits here.
