Agʿazi People

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:GNG .There is hardly any sources on who or what the "Ag'azi People" even were, there is not enough source material for a separate article. As a result, most of the article is original research or just completely fabricated, with most of the sections being entirely unsourced (there's a few places where the editor cites a source, but doesn't it corroborate with the text). There is already a separate article called Agʿazi, so this is also arguably a WP:BADFORK. Socialwave597 (talk) 05:33, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete. I searched all the digital sources for the term "Agʿazi", and couldn't find it in any of them. Maybe some of the non-digital sources have more information, but the majority of sources on a topic not mentioning the topic doesn't give me confidence. Cortador (talk) 07:57, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Agʿazi as a content fork: It really seems to be the same topic, even if the current lede of the target article refers to geography. The content here is mostly WP:OR and should not be merged with the target article. I do find some results with "Agazian" from Google Books, but nothing really useful. The emergence of this article might be indirectly related to a recent Agazian movement, See discussion at https://www.iwgia.org/en/eritrea/4216-iw-2021-eritrea.html Jähmefyysikko (talk) 12:46, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete or possibly Redirect to Agʿazi (I agree there's effectively nothing to merge, in any case). Presumably the inhabitants of Agʿazi were "Agʿazian people" but, as  pointed out, this is a bad fork.  Heretofore, Wikipedia described Agʿazi as an area of the Aksumite Empire, not an ethnicity therein nor as a predecessor to it. In addition to the sourcing problems that Socialwave597 specified, this also had an orphaned (& since fixed)  citation (leading me to think the article was cobbled together via unattributed WP:COPYPASTE), and another citation to a WP:SPS.  Those concerns were met with no response when I brought them up; the other concerns were met with WP:IDHT. I might have thought this could be WP:DRAFTified, but there are other issues regarding the article's creator.  Those are outside the scope of this AfD, of course, but it makes me skeptical that said draft would reach a suitable state.   I read about the Agazian movement at the link you provided.  I am not at all sure whether that explains the creator's motivations (or whether the creator is even aware of it; I'll WP:AGF for now), but the subject matter suggests some perceived "ultra-Habesha" subset of Habesha peoples, which (FWIW) is another article (now indef. protected per WP:HORN) with a history of WP:NOR, but toward the opposite of that Agazian concept. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:01, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
