The article material is a complete copy-paste from Artsakh, History of the Jews in Armenia and History of the Jews in Azerbaijan. There's nothing new the article adds to what it's already said in those articles and there's a serious concern over a possible copy vio. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 19:01, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Out of the entire text, the only bit relevant to the title is that one line mentioning that in 1897, there were four Jews living in Shusha. I do not believe that information calls for an article. Parishan (talk) 00:12, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because some initial concerns have been rectified since the start of this nomination. Since Republic of Artsakh is an obscure new country stitched together from former obscure territories, it is perfectly normal and acceptable and logical that its Jewish history is stitched together from those selfsame former territories as written up on Wikipedia itself as a WP:N and WP:RS. Having few Jews in Artsakh is not a punishable crime, even if a small group of Jews live/d in what is now Artsakh it is nevertheless part of Jewish history because Jews are inevitably always a small minority in whatever country they have found themselves.

If your argument is with respect to the country being new, then all the more reason for the article to be deleted since neither of the two censuses carried out there since its proclamation in 1991 mention any Jews. Parishan (talk) 00:58, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't know the details of this geographic dispute, but if the Republic of Artsakh is an "obscure new country" (as stated above), the lede of the linked article should be rewritten to reflect this. Until that time, this gives the impression (wrongfully, perhaps) of a poorly sourced duplicate of existing articles. If there is content to merge that is reliably sourced we should prefer merge to deletion. Spudlace (talk) 06:39, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Honestly, this almost looks like a WP:POVFORK at the moment. Unless someone can add brand new information that pertains to Jewish history specifically related to the territory of the Republic of Artsakh, this should be deleted. Almost every sentence I'm looking at is unrelated to Jewish history in Artsakh/Karabakh. - LouisAragon (talk) 22:24, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect or merge. Artsakh is an unrecognised polity that arose from the break up of USSR, when ethic Armenians rebelled against Azerbaijan. The history of this area is that Russia conquered territory from Iran. Very little of the content of this article (or those on Armenia and Azerbaijan concerns the period after 1991. Accordingly, it would be much better to merge them all as History of the Jews in the Caucasus. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:16, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
