Mubariz Nagiyev

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. The article is an autobiography, unless I'm making a serious mistake, and the author is the editor who removed the prod tag. There are no sources provided, so I've looked and looked for his films and for any information about him as a person. I can't find anything. Maybe he's a famous Azerbajani director and I'm simply ignorant. Krakatoa Katie  12:29, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as nominator. Krakatoa  Katie  12:29, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete supposed filmmaker not on IMDB. Possible hoax too. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  12:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless verified. The Western spelling of the name only gets 3 hits on google. It may be true, but "any reader should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source" is proving problematic. There's not really even much of an assertion of notability. (Per "creative professionals", the body of work needs something other than existence to qualify: independent reviews, awards, etc.) --Moonriddengirl 12:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I just searched a paid news database and came up with nothing. Scarykitty 15:43, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. The page on ruwiki ru:Нагиев, Мубариз Кудрат оглы is equally bad, and Googling in Cyrillic (Russified spelling, Azeri might be different) doesn't bring to light any further reliable sources cab 01:51, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not a hoax, but clearly unnotable. What cab forgot to mention: as in the English version, most of the edits to the Russian version have been done by "Mubariz Nagiyev", whose only further contributions to Russian wiki were to his own personal page, and adding a picture to two other Azeri subjects - both were deleted later as unsourced. And the user page says that this user is an Azerbaijani cinematographer and shows his photograph. Same thing with Mubariz Nagiyev in the English version. Googling on Azerbaijani spelling outside Wikipedia brings out 1 blog, 1 genuine article (I do not understand Azerbaijani, but I think I recognize "Ministry of Tourism"), 1 casual mention of the name in the biography of another Azerbaijani cinema man, and his name mentioned in a number of lists of Azerbaijani cinema people. Autobiography of an unnotable person with COI and SPA problems.--Pan Gerwazy 12:56, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
