Latifa Mammadova

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Deprodded without rationale or improvement. While accomplished, there are not enough in-depth sources to show she meets WP:GNG, and doesn't appear to meet any of the SNG's.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:35, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. I added several sources-- I think the subject passes WP:GNG, though it can be tricky to find sources due to language barriers / different transliterations of her name.Gilded Snail (talk) 15:26, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. It does not pass notability guidelines for academics. She is actually an administrator of public libraries, and hardly a notable one. My very best wishes (talk) 03:47, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Hi,, Latifa Mammadova is not only the head of a library, but she also is a historian, scientist and former chairwoman of Azerbaijan Committee of IFAP in UNESCO. She was the head of libraries in Azerbaijan from 2004 to 2018. Also, she is author many projects that can be seen in Library activities section of her article. Best regards, --Toghrul Rahimli (talk) 12:03, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Notability guidelines for academics are on top of WP:GNG. That is, if the subject passes GNG, they do not need to also pass academic notability. Gilded Snail (talk) 13:14, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * With sources currently used on the page, such as this, I do not think she has significant non-trivial coverage in 3rd party RS as required per WP:GNG, sorry. My very best wishes (talk) 15:04, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I believe this is one of many promotional pages related to Azerbaijan. See for example, Academy of Public Administration (Azerbaijan) (linked from this page). I think it should be also deleted. My very best wishes (talk) 15:52, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Keep A long and distinguished career as a pubic servant at the national level for which she received recognition according to a source in the article. Plenty of sources in the article to support the facts about her to meet WP:GNG. Sydney Poore/FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 03:45, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * First of all, the director of "Central Office of the Centralized Library System of the Yasamal District" is not really a pubic servant at the national level. Second, this page tells that "under the order of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, she was awarded "Medal for Distinction in Public Service". I have no idea if this is really a significant award, but the statement was sourced only to this. Is it even an RS? Does it tells anything of substance about the subject? No. This is a promotional page. My very best wishes (talk) 20:56, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Dear, of course "e-qanun.az" is an official government website. but in case i changed that reference to a better one, from the official website of the President of Azerbaijan. Being the head "Central Office of the Centralized Library System of the Yasamal District" is not an indicator for being an encyclopedic person, i fully agree with that, but that's not the main focus point on the topic. Being PhD in history, she is the author of several books and many articles, those i don't want to add to exaggerate the importance of the subject. Her biography are found in many books, but i only added the most respected ones. What about her earlier career? Please consider taking look at this fact as well: Latifa Mammadova was elected a deputy of the Baku City Council of People's Deputies (XVII, XVIII, XIX convocations) in 1980-1989. Sincerely, --Toghrul Rahimli (talk) 10:44, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Being listed on an official government website, a PhD degree and authoring a couple of books about the "great leader" is not a proof of notability. I do not see significant coverage in any sources currently cited on the page, only mentioning the person in passing (I agree with Onel5969). This page is basically a CV of a person. My very best wishes (talk) 14:11, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - literally millions of people have had long and distinguished civil servant careers, not a valid reason for inclusion. Also, there is a difference between sources which prove the facts of an article, and the type of in-depth sourcing which shows the notability of an article's subject, which this one sorely lacks.

 * Delete civil servants working at this level are not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:09, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
 * delete Don't believe she's notable as a scientist despite claim to the contrary. Her career as a public servant doesn't show me any notability and I don't think the sources show the significant and independent coverage required to meet the GNG.Sandals1 (talk) 14:51, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak delete I have found this difficult to assess, as my ability to find or understand sources in either Azerbaijani or Russian is very limited (practically non-existent, in fact). The only source I was able to find confirmed her appointment to a position, which does not add to notability. The awards do not seem particularly high. Are there reviews of her books? If there are, and they can be added to the article, then she might meet WP:NAUTHOR. Does Women of Azerbaijan have any more information about her than just the topic of her PhD thesis? So far, I have not seen, or been able to find, evidence that she meets either WP:GNG or any WP:SNG, and unless and until that can be provided, I don't see a reason to keep the article.
