Lachin Kurdish Republic

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

'Lachin Kurdish Republic' does not meet the criteria for notability on Wikipedia. No reliable published sources exist of the article. 3 references exist on the article, which two mention nothing about the place, and the third one is not reliable at all.Nocturnal781 (talk) 09:58, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. This was an attempt by the Armenian government to create another puppet state on the territory of Azerbaijan to divert attention from involvement of the Armenian military in the fall of Lachin. There are at least 2 books that describe the events:  The article needs improvement, but not deletion.  Grand  master  07:46, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The sources describe the events but not under the article name. It can be added to another page that's relevant but having a separate page to describe the Lachin Republic isn't really encyclopedic. The two sources are reliable but don't go on to describe it enough to make this page stand out.Nocturnal781 (talk) 05:30, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If the name of the article is not correct, it should be renamed. But the topic is verifiable, and therefore deletion is not a way to fix the possible naming issue. If you think this article should be merged into another one, you can propose it at WP:PM. But I personally think this article has enough material for a stand-alone article.

 * I didn't see those references before I nominated. I think keeping this article would be a good idea after your reasoning. If I knew how to withdraw it I would. Nocturnal781 (talk) 07:18, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
