Not a notable athlete. Didn't win any medals or championships. Lida Vorig (talk) 06:37, 17 August 2009 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn. He's the president of the Pankration Federation of Azerbaijan. Lida Vorig (talk) 04:22, 19 August 2009 (UTC) *Delete According to this, this and this his record is one draw and one defeat in two fights, and thats his entire record. I've seen hamsters with more notable fight records. Where the greco-roman champion wrestler thing comes from I have no idea. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 12:54, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Suspend Judgment. The article claims that he was the USSR champion. This needs to be sourced thoroughly. His other achievements are not relevant. McMarcoP (talk) 08:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Anglophone-oriented data-scraper/user-generated-content websites are hardly reliable sources about a guy from the former Soviet Union. And I suspect the "greco-roman wrestling" thing is a mistranslation of "панкратион" (pankration) or something. cab (talk) 15:03, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, appears to meet the primary notability guideline as well as WP:ATHLETE. He is president of the Azerbaijan Pankration Federation, and confirms that he was champion of the USSR in 1987. cab (talk) 15:03, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Open.az is the copy of his own personal website and ru.apasport.az is an interview with him denying that he's someone else. So far no reliable sources are present to confirm that he was ever a champion of USSR. Although, in my opinion, being the president of the Pankration Federation of Azerbaijan meets the notability guideline. In my defense, that info was and is still missing from the article.

 * Keep as per sources and translation (and correct name of sport!) by cab Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 15:24, 17 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep, user talk is seems to be loving flagging Azerbaijan articles without knowing the purpose of any of this articles and arguing that is not relevant for English Wikipedia. This user also has have previously warned about flagging Azerbaijani articles. So moderators, should be check her background first before doing any action.--NovaSkola (talk) 21:09, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Not a single word why this article should be kept. Lida Vorig (talk) 22:14, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Although you have just stated that "being the president of Pankration Federation of Azerbaijan meets the notability guideline"...Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 11:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
