We already have Armenians in Azerbaijan, Armenians in Nakhchivan, Armenian cemetery in Julfa, Armenian cultural heritage in Azerbaijan and Julfa, Azerbaijan (city)#History. We don't need this article. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 21:03, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose well sourced, passes WP:GNG. - Kevo³²⁷ (talk) 08:04, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We can't have articles for the historical Armenian population of every place once inhabited by them. I am aware of the cultural importance of Julfa for Armenians, but we have a lot of much better articles where this information can be perfectly covered.

Merge the history section to Julfa, Azerbaijan (city)#History, but the cemetery portion is already covered by the dedicated article, so no need to merge that. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:19, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above rationale. Archives908 (talk) 19:20, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: No consensus so far. Also "We don't need this article" is not a strong deletion rationale as editors, in good faith, can disagree on what articles are "needed" on the project.

Keep. Appears to pass WP:SIGCOV. Oppose merge through this AFD for procedural reasons. The content could possibly be merged as suggested above but that should be done through a formal merge proposal at WP:MERGEPROP where notices can be placed at the targeted merge article and the threat of deletion removed from that discussion. I advocate for this because in my opinion merging this content could create WP:UNDUEWEIGHT in the suggested merge article, and it it might be preferable to either let it remain a stand alone article, or merge to one of the other articles mentioned by the nominator (such as Armenians in Azerbaijan which I think would be a better merge target than Julfa, Azerbaijan (city)#History).4meter4 (talk) 01:46, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Plenty of sources and notability. Nocturnal781 (talk) 02:35, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and do not merge per 4meter4's thoughtful analysis.
