Fails WP:PROF. On his bio, first ref at http://www.dia.edu.az/ZIYEDDIN_M.php. Only an associate professor. Google Scholar turns up single entry. Simply not notable. scope_creep talk  18:40, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep&mdash;Tenured (aka "associate") professor with a significant publication record that is not captured in google's various products. azWP does a much better job of listing his publications.  Given that list, I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt for notability.  Lesser Cartographies (talk) 04:32, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think associate professors are notable, only full strength professors. That is second best and not encyclopedia. He also works in a Public Administration academy, seemingly not a full university. He was born in mid 1940's, but still not done his habilitation, or seemed too. I don't get the notablity vibe. scope_creep talk  19:17  30 August  2014 (UTC)

 * Delete'. A long list of minor accomplishments, none seemingly rising to the level of notability, with almost no sources. No clear evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:04, 12 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment It looks to me as if the article has been translated from Azerbaijani, without the translator realising that what quite possibly come across as fairly obvious assertions of notability in Azerbaijan are almost meaningless to an audience from outside the old Soviet bloc. The subject's career up to 1990 was fairly obviously, whatever the official job titles, within the Communist Party's ideological apparatus - and, reading between the lines, it seems to have continued within the post-Soviet Azerbaijani equivalent. His academic position, within the successor of the Azerbaijani Communist Party's main internal training institution, is probably important to his current activities but its seniority (or lack of it) probably isn't - his "scientific" (in the sense of the German Wissenschaft) writings seem to be on the history and culture of Azerbaijan, and I would guess that his current overt role is as a public intellectual, with much of the writing being aimed generally at educated readers rather than specifically at academic ones, and with many of those readers assuming that it reflects government views. As such, he may quite likely be notable within Azerbaijan - but this can probably only be established from sources in Azerbaijani. PWilkinson (talk) 10:28, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - I'm not convinced he was more than a middle-level Apparatchik for propaganda. Bearian (talk) 14:41, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
