Massacre in Bashlybel

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

Article fails both WP:RELIABILITY and WP:VERIFY. No neutral or reliable sources in the Massacre section for the actual massacre (The NYT source is for detached background info). Only sources actually describing the massacre are "azertag.az" or "Armiya.Az". The UN doc was submitted by "Permanent Representative of Azerbaijan to the United Nations"; it does not actually contain claims made by the UN. - Kevo3 2 7 (talk) 07:26, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment Well, this is interesting. First and foremost, I'd like to get some guidance as to the best policy to follow here, because much as I'd lean towards deleting this clearly skewed account, I also think it appropriate that WP should at least have an article noting the potential existence of a thing. 'Your freedom fighter is my terrorist' and although I completely agree (having spent some time combing through the sources) that the sourcing is 100% totally skewed to an Azerbaijani nationalist narrative, that narrative in of itself has some notability in an overall appreciation of the conflict and the war of words that surrounds it. Perhaps this and other similar conflicts you have nominated for deletion should be included in a section in, say, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict article and, given that, I could support deletion of this 100% NPOV article. But to erase something simply because it's one sided seems, well, one-sided. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:09, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - very biased to a certain point of view, with very few of the sources indicating that this specific attack happened. Maybe it did, but little independent coverage. Jaguarnik (talk) 16:15, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per norm. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:04, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
