List of Azerbaijani cemeteries damaged in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

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

Fails WP:GNG and WP:LISTPURP. The topic "Azerbaijani cemeteries damaged in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict" has not received any coverage as a topic within reliable sources, either in the provided citations or in a WP:BEFORE search (this discounts coverage in unreliable sources per WP:RSP such as the Daily Sabah). Damaged cemeteries have been mentioned, but these mentions tend to be passing and occur within a broader discussion on the conflict and so are not sufficient to establish this as a topic on its own.

Further, this appears to be a WP:POVFORK of List of cultural monuments damaged in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict; while the latter has dubious notability and should probably be taken through AFD again, that doesn't permit this fork to exist. BilledMammal (talk) 02:42, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Merge back into the article from which it was split. Regardless of whether the other list should be deleted on WP:LISTN and WP:POV grounds, it is too short to warrant splitting. We note that both articles were created by . –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 03:45, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete the list clearly fails notability guidelines and serves advocacy rather than cyclopedic purposes. These graves were originally listed as "Azerbaijani and Islamic sites damaged during the NK conflict" with unreliable one sided sources, and while it takes some ongoing sweating to somewhat fix some the main list of churches and mosques, the author failed to improve this stillborn spinoff since creation, neither I see any prospect of how this can be improved to pass minimal wikipedia standards. An editor supporting the same point of view as the author is RfC-ing the graves in the main article currently, presenting them as "hundreds years old historical and cultural monuments", whereas no reliable neutral source calls them as such. --Armatura (talk) 13:07, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete -- War almost inevitably leads to damage, and the victors are likely to vandalise what they perceive as related to the defeated. The 1990s victory was emphatically reversed last year, leading the Azeris to cry foul over damage done by Armenians.  The whole thing is written to justify the Azerbaijan position, without any corresponding acknowledgement of Armenian suffering.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:47, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete while it can't be a WP:POVFORK of List of cultural monuments damaged in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict (or at least it would be unlikely to be so) as they have the same original creator, as noted by LaundryPizza; however, this article is does not meet WP:LISTN. I argue against merge as I think that this article largely would not benefit List of cultural monuments damaged in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as it already includes the partial destruction of the grave of Khurshidbanu Natavan, which is the only notable item from this list in my view. This is not to say the destruction of cemeteries isn't a travesty; just that it does not necessarily necessitate a wikipedia article. snood1205(Say Hi! (talk)) 03:43, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
