Unreliable article. The only source does not back up the information it is supposed to back up. And a ghost town (Agdam) as city??? The Banner talk 23:39, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: yes the sourcing should be improved. But that's an argument for development not deletion. -- Taku (talk) 17:42, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and update/copy edit. A valid and functional list article per WP:NOTDUP and WP:LISTPURP, with content that is easily verified. I have added a {{refimprove}} template atop the article and have added some sources to better verify content. Also, I removed the Agdam ghost town entry, which took about two seconds to accomplish.

Keep per above. Also good work by North America in cleaning up the article. --NSH001 (talk) 07:55, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- comment: Article should probably be moved to a different title once this AfD has concluded, because "cities" has a different meaning in British and American English. Suggest either "List of settlements in Azerbaijan" or "List of towns and cities in Azerbaijan". --NSH001 (talk) 07:55, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per above, and no valid deletion reason given for a plainly valid article topic. Antepenultimate (talk) 02:28, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:CLN. We have a truly enormous category system for cities within fooian jurisdiction. And we have categories for many lists of such cities. This is such a list. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:01, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Frankly, I don't like dumb lists, but this one seems OK. With good editing, it should improve with time. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 19:20, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Legit article which can be improved. No valid reason for delete. Ajf773 (talk) 09:57, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
