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

Sent to draft by OneI, uncited material removed from article, material was banged back in by creator and plonked into mainspace in its original condition. Founder of redlinked newspaper and media group, runs redlinked magazine, given redlinked awards. No public service, no position held, founder of re-established party (founded in 1911) he then leaves. It's all very, well, marginal. Fails WP:GNG; WP:NPOL. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:33, 11 June 2022 (UTC) @Alexandermcnabb, Rauf Arifoğlu was a candidate for the parliamentary elections several times.; He was imprisoned several times for his political activities. And he was recognized as a political prisoner by many international organizations. RFE/RL; ; ;. His last parliamentary candidacy was controversial. All Azerbaijani media wrote about this right. The election in that region was cancelled BBC;, it was not repeated even after 2 years. (Google Translate) --Samral (talk) 09:39, 12 June 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * GNG ne demek? Samral (talk) 17:17, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Samral, WP:GNG. Kadı    Message   14:31, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Kadı bu yorumunuz bu şekliyle çok genel olmuyor mu? O kaidenin hangi ibaresine göre GNG değil. Yukarıdakı yorumumu okudunuz mu? Şahıs bir kaç kez siyasi sebeplerden hüküm giymiş. Cumhurbaşkanının uçağını kaçırmaya teşebbüsle suçlanmış ve haps edilmiş. Bu olaylarda hapse atılmış. Sovyetler Birliği zamanında da aynı şekilde. Amnesty International, HRW, Freedom House ve bir çok uluslararası kuruluş onu politik mahpus olarak tanımış. Kaç kez parlamentoda aday olmuş. Son seçimde bir çok kuruluşa göre millet vekili seçilse de YSK tarafından o bölgedeki seçim iptal edildi. Kendisi 30 yıldır gazeteci ve medya holding patronu. Kurucusu olduğu gazetenin yaşı Azerbaycanın bağımsızlık yaşından bile fazla. Siz şimdi bu şahsın GNG olmadığını mı söylüyorsunuz? Sizce böyle bir yorum objektif mi?--Samral (talk) 14:46, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

 * @Samral, That's correct but we are in English Wikipedia now.  Kadı    Message   14:39, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Kadı, isn't your comment too general as it is? According to which phrase on that base, it is not GNG. Did you read my comment above? He was convicted several times for political reasons. He was charged with attempting to hijack the President's plane and was imprisoned. He was imprisoned in these events. It was the same in the time of the Soviet Union. Amnesty International, HRW, Freedom House and many international organizations recognized him as a political prisoner. How many times has he been a candidate in parliament? Although he was elected as a deputy according to many organizations in the last election, the election in that region was canceled by the YSK. He has been a journalist and media conglomerate boss for 30 years. The age of the newspaper he is the founder of is even more than the age of independence of Azerbaijan. Are you now saying that this person is not GNG? Do you think such a comment is objective? (Google Translate) Samral (talk) 15:28, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Appears to pass WP:SIGCOV based on the cited sources in the article which address the subject "directly and in detail". Without a source analysis demonstrating why these sources do not constitute independent significant coverage, I am not seeing a strong argument for deletion from either Alexandermcnabb or Kadi based in GNG. Further the fact that we lack articles on certain content (such as awards or publications) is not an indicator for or against the notability of that content. Wikipedia lacks coverage on many notable topics, which is why we are constantly adding new content to the encyclopedia. Additionally, the awards for his work as a journalist in his native country indicate he passes criteria 4 of WP:JOURNALIST. 4meter4 (talk) 17:16, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
