The result was   redirect to  Khojaly massacre. And cover the topic there in a more condensed manner. The "keep" opinions do not address the issue of notability.  Sandstein  11:06, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Khojaly massacre commemoration

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The topic is not notable enough to go into an encyclopedia. The artcile basically is a listing when which government anywhere in the world has commemorated the Khojaly massacre. Meaning, as commemoration events are taking place each year, consequently the informatoin will be doubled each year with other commemoration resolutions following. It is like creating an article about which governments, organizations, groups of the world etc. have ever commemorated the Holocaust and listing all these events each year like a directory.

 * Redirect to Khojaly massacre. This is a case of bloat, all that is needed is a small section in the main article.  LGA talk  edits   23:11, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree. --Markus2685 (talk) 12:00, 24 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose. This content was split into a separate article based on consensus on the talk of the article with the nominator. Now all of a sudden he wants this info deleted? Or merged back into the article it was split from? Where's the logic here?  Grand  master  23:54, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * It should have never been spit off in the first place, if it was considered as to much for the main article, it should have been edited down to a more manageable size.  LGA talk  edits   00:33, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * You are right. It should not have been spit off. But unfortunately this seemed to be the only solution as other edits like deleting parts of it or minimizing the section were rigorously rejeceted by User Grandmaster. And now, as it is spit off, as you said, it has become a case of bloat.--Markus2685 (talk) 12:11, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * It could be merged back, but since the number of countries, US states and international organizations acknowledging the massacre grows day by day, I thought it would make sense to have a separate article, where all this info could be placed without taking space in the main article. This idea had a support of the nominator, who created the article, which he now proposes to delete. Grand  master  00:45, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * No it would not make sense to keep it, just summarise it, for example the whole "Countries" section can be condensed into about 2 sentences; the Remembrance section gives the impression of being padded out to get as many wiki links or name drops in as possible; the job of the encyclopaedia is to summarise not repeat verbatim.

 * Strong oppose. Lots of countries, international organizations, states of US and famous public figures commemorated this massacre, their number increases day by day. There are similar articles on Wikipedia (e.g. Remembrances of the Mountain Meadows massacre), therefore it has to be separate article.

 * Redirect to Khojaly massacre. And as correctly noticed by User LGA this is a case of bloat. But before redirecting it should be edited down to a more manageable size.--Markus2685 (talk) 19:36, 26 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose. This is a growing article that was recently created and interestingly so, on the insistence of the nominator, who just two months ago said in a discussion that he did not mean "deleting [it] completely from Wikipedia" and that "the right solution would be [to] create a separate article". And now that this article has the potential to grow without being excessively given attention to in the main article Khojaly Massacre (as the international attention increasingly focuses on the event), it has suddenly been nominated for deletion. The article is not meant to include parliament resolutions only, there are many social and cultural events to commemorate a tragedy. Parishan (talk) 21:36, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
