Elshad Mamedov

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

There is no independent reliable sourcing on the subject. It's all sourced to Azerbajaini government outlets. The subject died during a coup attempt on Azerbajain's authoritarian regime and was subsequently martyrized by the regime. Nothing in the article is verifiable.

 * Keep National hero. Has widespread coverage. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  19:03, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Can you point to one independent reliable source that covered the subject? Thenightaway (talk) 19:14, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * None of the sources were authored by the subject and the government of Azerbajain is authorative on who it considers a national hero. Other sources:  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  21:25, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The source you linked to is neither reliable nor is it about the subject of the article. The "Elshad Mammadov" mentioned in the source is not the same person as the subject of this article. Thenightaway (talk) 21:34, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I find it hard to believe that there were two national heroes called Elshad Mammadov Hawkeye7   (discuss)  05:34, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It seems to be a reasonably common name in Azerbaijan. The one in your source died about 25 years after the one described here. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:34, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete, unless more SIGCOV is found. For a claim as big as him being a national hero, I need to see WAYYY more sources than the ones provided so far.  Invading Invader  (userpage, talk) 15:46, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Soft delete Has some sources, but not independent, could be a notable subject, but a search on google returns results unrelated to the subject.

 * Comment. He apparently played a role in suppression of 1995 Azerbaijani coup attempt, but the page does not say it. What role, exactly? Not clear. The page is so poorly sourced and written that I am leaning "delete". My very best wishes (talk) 03:21, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails GNG and NBIO. Not seeing anything from WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. Ping me if WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV are found.  // Timothy :: talk  06:50, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
