Armenian conspiracy theories

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article constitutes an WP:OR and WP:SYN. There are no scholarly researches covering this subject in general, the article is just a collection of published accusations of other nations of promoting Armenian conspiracy theories. It accuses the neighboring states of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, as well as individual authors of promoting such theories, however a similar article could be created about the theories popular in Armenia, for instance, including a theory that Azerbaijanis committed the Khojaly massacre themselves to set up Armenians. Such articles are unencyclopedic synthesis, which has no place in Wikipedia. Grand master  05:20, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:SYN, there is just one Genocide denialist, a bit of Karabakh issue and some thrusts at Azerbaijan and Georgia. The title itself induces conspiracy paranoia, instead of dealing with something encyclopedic. brandспойт 06:13, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. These conspiracies make no contribution to Wikipedia Encyclopedia. Baku87 (talk) 09:25, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge some stuff & delete I don't like the title since it is unencyclopedic (which can lead then to "Azerbaijani conspiracy theories", "Iranian conspiracy theories", "Spanish.." and etc.) and can cause a battle field mentality with various nations X conspiracy theories. Some of the contents seem useful and can be incorporated into anti-Armenianism.  Merge Samuel Weems stuff to Sameul Weems/anti-Armenians.  Karabagh stuff to Karabagh stuff, and modern conspiracies to anti-Armenianism.  That is there is other article (anti-Armenianism) which should cover some of this.  --Nepaheshgar (talk) 01:35, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The entry essentially recapitulates the content of Anti-Armenianism under a problematic title. It is not altogether clear what “Armenian conspiracy theories” refers to: conspiracy theories originating in Armenia, conspiracy theories involving Armenia, or Armenian-born conspiracy theories about the conspiracy theories involving Armenia.--KoberTalk 05:29, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * On the article's talk page I had already pointed out this title problem, but I had not done that with any thoughts about the overall validity of the article. The majority of the content could be successfully merged into the Anti Armenianism article, and at the moment I am inclined to support merge (or, rather, I'm not strongly against it), but I will wait until I hear from some against arguments before I make a vote. However, I think that if an alternative title were used, like "Armenia-related conspiracy theories" there could be an argument made for its retention. Meowy 16:28, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. This article is absolutely absurd, OR and POV. Iberieli (talk) 04:24, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Many RS's used and the topic is quite important. I don't understand the real reason for deletion. Off course, we can merge it with Anti-Armenianism, but I'm sure the topic itself is enough significant to have a separate article. Gazifikator (talk) 05:43, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Some of the claims made in this article, may or may not hold water. So labeling them all as "conspiracy theories" is in violation of NPOV. There are many other articles, where this material can fit, hence there is no merit in keeping it. Atabəy (talk) 05:34, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
