Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Districts of Baku


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Baku. Clear consensus that at this time a standalone article is not justified; the extra content in this article is minimal, and can be merged into the parent article without undue difficulty. Vanamonde (Talk) 05:00, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Districts of Baku

This article duplicates the material at Baku but the article creator does not agree to a redirect. Mccapra (talk) 18:42, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That is a false claim, maybe even a lie. TerraCyprus (talk) 19:56, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, per nom. This is a pointless duplicate article that should not exist, and is also completely uncited. Zacwill (talk) 19:40, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Can you provide evidence for "pointless duplicate article that should not exist"? TerraCyprus (talk) 19:55, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The evidence is the fact that everything contained in the article can already be found in Baku. Zacwill (talk) 19:58, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That would not be any evidence for it being pointless, but what you call "fact" is not even true, that is why the redirect was reverted and the edit summary filled with "not included in target". TerraCyprus (talk) 20:14, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That revert was done by you. Just because you claim that the page's content isn't included in the target, doesn't mean that that's the case. Zacwill (talk) 20:26, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter who performed the revert, but the edit summary made the reason for the revert obvious. Remind you of WP:AGF, it is not that I just claimed that the page's content isn't included, I published the claim for anyone to see.
 * since when is "completely uncited" a reason for deletion, especially given the fact that for each district a link to the official website of the district was given? TerraCyprus (talk) 20:16, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, bad faith nomination, the revert of the redirect explicitly stated "not included in target" and that is true. The target does not provide the Azeri names, nor the links to the websites, not even any reference for 12 districts. Not even for "rayonlar (sub-rayons) (administrative districts)".

 * The Azeri names are already listed on the pages of each district, and the websites can be added there as well. Zacwill (talk) 21:18, 2 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge/Redirect to Baku. I fail to see why there need to be a second column just to note the rayon/raion spelling. The websites are not necessary: that is not typical practice to link homepages in tables. The main article's section can be made into a table if necessary for the areas and populations.

 * "I fail to see why there need to be a second column just to note the rayon/raion spelling." - no problem, but you failing is not a reason for merge/redirect. And why single out the districts of Baku, what you propose is not done for:
 * Districts of Warsaw
 * Districts of Prague
 * Districts of Berlin
 * Districts of Minsk
 * Districts of Kyiv
 * Boroughs of New York City
 * Districts of Kraków
 * Districts of Rosario
 * Districts of Barcelona
 * Districts of Gdańsk
 * Districts of Ulaanbaatar
 * Districts of Oslo
 * Districts of London
 * Districts of Murcia
 * Districts of Madrid
 * Districts of Pärnu
 * Districts of Rome
 * Districts of Saint Petersburg
 * Districts of Seoul
 * Districts of Redditch
 * TerraCyprus (talk) 21:40, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * And pretty much every one of those has a lot more content than just a barely-filled table; the comparison to boroughs of New York City is simply laughable. Rather than whining about WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, you should show that's there's enough content to justify a separate article: if it's only a table, the main Baku can hold a table quite well. Focus on quality content, not whether this has its own page or not. Duplication is indeed a reason for merge/redirect, and being short enough to fit well into the main article – rather than making the reader click to a separate page for little additional content – is indeed a reason for merge/redirect. Reywas92Talk 21:56, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * does WP:NPA not apply to you? TerraCyprus (talk) 22:01, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge to Baku. This would serve readers better than dividing this information between two separate articles. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:17, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * it is common practice to "divide", cf. Template:Main "This template is used on approximately 290,000 pages.". TerraCyprus (talk) 22:13, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I am changing my recommendation to delete per nom as this page is mostly duplicative of Baku, but I would accept a merge as a second choice. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:42, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - this is the capital city of a nation-state. Bearian (talk) 21:16, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom; this is likely a plausible stand-alone article but the information currently in the article is just a list of names and websites, and is only sourced to government sites. The current sourcing does not justify a separate article; it would be conceivable to merge pages such as Nəsimi raion to this one but I don't think that is better. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 01:33, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
