Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Orkhan Mammadov


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. The "keep" opinions must be discounted as unfounded in Wikipedia practice and guidelines. They argue that the subject is automatically notable as the head of the Small and Medium Business Development Agency (Azerbaijan), but there is no notability guideline to the effect that heads of government agencies are automatically notable (compare WP:NPOL).

fail to see how this ultra vanity spam article is notable - the subjects position isn't a notable one, he isn't elected to the position and even so, it's not inherently a notable position, the sourcing is worse than lackluster and again, complete vanity spam.

 * Comment It could be notable under WP:NPOL if the chamber of commerce can be considered as a national office. He has also received some international press coverage (see here for example). Chagropango (talk) 14:53, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Unless I'm mistaken, he isn't elected as a chairman. In any case he isn't notable under NPOL either - if anything, his name can be mentioned in the article about Small and Medium Business Development Agency (Azerbaijan) but not as a stand alone. PRAXIDICAE🌈 15:02, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep He satisifies NPOL as the head of a national government agency. I do not see any reason why his position does not meet the requirement. There is no need for a position to be elected. (In this case, he was appointed by the President of Azerbaijan). Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 18:06, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Might be eligible as above, but we need better sourcing than what's given in the article. I can't read the language so can't find much of anything for him. Oaktree b (talk) 18:21, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep - Article should be edited to conform to the style encyclopaedia article (MOS). However this person is notable as head of a government entity. Also there is significant coverage Per Chagropango as is to be expected of the head of an "important" government agency.

 * Delete I don’t agree that his current position makes him notable. He doesn’t come close to meeting WP:NPOL. The repeated recreation of the article suggests a use of Wikipedia for self-promotion. Mccapra (talk) 06:28, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment - His position also indicates that he may likely be notable via other ways. Searching his name in my search engine, after filtering out the NFT Artist and the MMA fighter of the same name, has yielded these of what appear to be decent coverage in what appear to be reliable sources in the first two pages: Article 1, Article 2, Article 3, Article 4, Article 5, USAID Press Release, Article 6. These are just random picked from the first two pages as an indicator, presumably there is more.--PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 13:27, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment im not sure what to vote as of now, however, if the stuff about constant recreation of the article this other editor said is true, then i would vote delete. Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 14:41, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * That would obviously be an issue. But I do think we can give the benefit of the doubt, the account seems to have been creating Azerbaijan related articles for around 5 years which all appear to be in good faith. PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 14:56, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hasn't anyone told them in theese 5 years that recreating deleted articles without consensus is bad? Plus, were all of these recreations done by the same editor? Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 15:12, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * From the logs I can see that a page of this name has been deleted once about a year and a half ago through PROD. And then it was created by another user about 4 months ago and that page was moved to draft for certain issues to be fixed. That page is still in Draft:Orkhan Mammadov and they have been working on it for some time, it wasn't submitted for creation. Then it seems like this article that we are talking about right now is a separate article, it looks quite different at first glance as well, with very different sources used.

 * Keep seems to pass GNG.--Ortizesp (talk) 22:27, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
