Bartaz (town)

Location is not notable; tabular data sourcing is insufficient to meet WP:GEOLAND. –dlthewave ☎ 04:37, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. This passes WP:GEOLAND; it's inhabited and it is legally recognized by Azerbaijan. The ru wiki article contains sufficient sourcing for this (see: this state media piece and this publication which refers to it as "Baratz, p"). The page could be expanded, but I don't see a reason to delete in light of it passing WP:GEOLAND. — Mhawk10 (talk) 04:50, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Query: What is the difference between this town and Bartaz (village) which appears to be located only about a mile away? Is it certain that Azerbaijan has two different jurisdictions adjacent to each other which have the same name but different municipal statuses? Admittedly, the same sort of thing does occasionally happen in the United States (see Tonawanda (city), New York and Tonawanda (town), New York), but let's make sure that these really are two different geographical entities. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:03, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It looks like this is something like that. See page 113 of AZƏRBAYCAN TOPONĠMLƏRĠNĠN ENSĠKLOPEDĠK LÜĞƏTĠ. (I'm relying on google translate here since I absolutely cannot understand Azeri for the life of me, but I think there are indeed two distinct settlements in the same area based off of what I can pull out of machine translations). — Mhawk10 (talk) 05:09, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
