Appears to fail WP:GNG. Article previously soft-deleted, however no evidence of improvement. I share the concerns of the previous AfD as well, which stated "Article fails both WP:RELIABILITY and WP:VERIFY."Mdann52 (talk) 07:56, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Someone with good Russian might want to have a look into this document (I am assuming the language is Russian). Just to make sure we are not deleting an article about a battle that already happened just because the page creator did not bother to include references. Also have a look to the references at Military History Fandom. Bizarrely the page indicate that the "articles incorporating text from Wikipedia"! anyway the licence is good for Wikipedia but attribution is missing.

@FuzzyMagma: Fandom copied the article from us prior to deletion, and it was copied back across from there when the article was recreated. Took me a while to work that one out! Mdann52 (talk) 09:49, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FuzzyMagma That is a 476 page book in Azerbaijani, not Russian. It mentions this battle in passing on page 105, and the glowing phrasing combined with the provenance (published by an Azerbaijani publishing house, by a professor at an Azerbaijani state university) makes me doubtful of its reliability (here is a paper by Ceylan Tokluoğlu explaining the significant unreliability of Azerbaijani academia on these topics, a subject also touched on by Svante Cornell in his various writings on the NK conflict). _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:52, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Really great research. I think this seals it. FuzzyMagma (talk) 17:59, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and speedy close I've checked the logs of the article and I have found it was initially created by a blocked account who is also a sockpuppet [1]. I have opened a SPI case [2]. Regardless of all of this, the article should be deleted because it was recreated by a non-WP:XC account so it does not comply with the restriction for this topic, WP:GS/AA.

Vanezi Astghik, Mdann52, maybe that's how Draft:Alp Arslan's invasion of Georgia showed up as well. Rosguill, are you interested? You blocked the Movaigonel account. Drmies (talk) 16:46, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and SALT: as per Rosguill and Vanezi Astghik comments FuzzyMagma (talk) 18:00, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
