Khatchig Mouradian

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article of a junior, unaffiliated scholar seems to have been created some while back, mainly with the use of self-published sources. The article reads like an entry for self-promotion and to quote another editor who highlighted its issues on its talk page more than a year ago:
 * 1) "Many of the sources cited for claims are written by the subject, and I challenge the use of subject written material when used as the sole support of claims in an article."
 * 2) "There are  numerous claims which are cited to links that do not support the claim. Sometimes this is because the link is to a general site such as a school. Sometimes the claim is taken out of context from the source. Sometimes, the claim just doesn't appear in the source."
 * 3) "There are various external links throughout the article to sites such as Blogspot. I challenge the use of such external links and don't think they are justified in being there."

Recommend deletion due to lack of sufficient notability (aside from a recently published book and a handful of articles and interviews the author has carried out) and excessive reliance on otherwise faulty sources. Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 13:51, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete does not meet the inclusion criteria for academics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:14, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Armenian Weekly which he edited for years. I suspect he will be notable in future due to a combination of book reviews and various bits of coverage that can be found in places. There's already one review of his book published earlier this year (t &#183; c)  buidhe  23:26, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * He isn't synonymous with the Weekly. He didn't found the paper and isn't associated with it to such a close degree as to justify a redirect. He should be treated as a person, and as such, the merits of the article be judged accordingly. Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 18:41, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not necessary for something to be synonymous to be a valid redirect. This redirect would meet, at minimum, WP:RKEEP#1 (potentially useful page history) and #5 (I find this sort of redirect useful). (t &#183; c)  buidhe  08:47, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Mostly self-published sources, doesn't seem to meet notability standards either. Oaktree b (talk) 20:07, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Armenian Weekly, the logical parent article which already lists him. The link in that article would need to be removed to prevent a circular reference.  Eggishorn  (talk) (contrib) 18:56, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
