Not a notable person for English Wikipedia. Serving in military is not a qualification for inclusion. Lida Vorig (talk) 06:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I don't know if the subject is notable, but contrary to the nom, the article is mostly about his career as a poet, not his military service. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:31, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Close unless someone has a more convincing argument that this guy is non-notable. Invalid nomination rationale and suspicious nomination. Per WP:NOTENGLISH, there's no such thing as "not notable for English Wikipedia" --- non-English sources are perfectly acceptable to verify the facts of an article. I see 48,000 GHits.


 * Of course, the Google test is not conclusive, but out of the seven other Azerbaijan-related articles which the nominator has put up for deletion today, six are easily proven to be notable, which is a pretty poor track record for an editor whose IP has previously been blocked for violations of editing restrictions on Azerbaijan related articles and who managed to get himself listed on Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement within two weeks of creating an account, which increasingly makes me lean towards viewing this as a bad-faith nomination. cab (talk) 16:14, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Comment Feel free to judge me, but you haven't proven his notability. Lida Vorig (talk) 20:00, 17 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong keep First of all, article is not suspicious, it is about poet. Second of all, it just needs more information, third is that I noticed this user is flagging only Azeri articles and finally, since when Wikipedia become limited? Anybody can post an article about famous people.--NovaSkola (talk) 20:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment There are millions of poets around the world, should we write articles for everyone? As a matter of fact I can create a poem right now. Would that qualify me to have my own article? Lida Vorig (talk) 22:09, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
