This Azerbaijani state initiative was created in 2018 and a COI account that spams Azerbaijan government content immediately created a Wikipedia article for it. There is nothing that indicates that the subject is notable. There is no independent reliable sourcing of the subject – it's only covered by Azerbaijani government outlets.

  • Keep I have no trust in Thenightaway nominations, this is an article about a government agency. I feel it's perfectly an acceptable article under WP:NORG. Regards. Govvy (talk) 15:42, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many states have some kind of office or agency oriented around small businesses promotion, yet the only Wikipedia article for those agencies is the US Small Business Administration, which has lots of RS coverage. What exactly is there about this Azerbaijani office created in 2017 that makes you say it meets notability requirements? Simply being a government body of some sort is not a notability requirement. Every subdivision or office of a government bureaucracy does not inherently have notability. Thenightaway (talk) 16:09, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: being a government agency does not provide automatic notability. Owen× 21:58, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Fails GNG and NORG. All sources fails WP:IS. #2 is routine mill news based on gov press release. BEFORE found nothing that meets WP:SIGCOV from WP:IS. Azerbaijan government sources are not independent reliable sources.  // Timothy :: talk  05:14, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
