The result of the debate was KEEP. Since there was previously a merge tag on it, I will leave it there although I can't do the merge myself or I would. -Splash 23:57, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Xankəndi

Partisan POV, contains text like "Armenian terrorists". Manik Raina 10:53, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

• • Contains the following text which I find strongly POV and objectionable... "...The result of Nagorno-Garabagh conflict 1 000 000 azeri are refugees.20% Azerbaijan teritory are occupied by Armenian terrorists."
  • I had put a message to the author on his talk page but he reverted the edits so I'm asking you all to intervene. Manik Raina 10:53, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, real city, valid subject. If you think someone's edits need to be intervened with, you need WP:RFC. - 131.211.210.12 12:52, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Oops, forgot to sign. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:53, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The page has a definite POV, but the city is both real and notable and so not appropriate for deletion. Try MacGyverMagic's suggestion above, WP:RFC -- Sliggy 15:19, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep since I've edited out the objectionable material (in favor of neither side in the dispute).DS 16:03, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Many thanks DS Manik Raina 08:56, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep following DS's edit. Alf 18:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
• Comment why is there a schwa in the title? Zoe 22:58, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Because Azerbaijani uses schwa as a Latin letter. Caerwine 18:41, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
    • This being the English Wikipedia, we don't. Zoe 19:19, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
      • Why not? 'Ə' is just as valid an extention to the Latin alphabet as 'Þ' and both are supported by the bar at the bottom of the editting window for easy entry. The fact that one was borrowed from the Cyrillic alphabet and the other from the Runic alphabet should make no difference. Caerwine 17:05, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep DS's version as notable place. Capitalistroadster 00:13, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge 217.64.17.178 also removed the merge norice that has been on this page for a long time. Considering the way that user vandalized the page, that may have been because the consensus of the merge discussion, as given on the Stepanakert talk page is pretty much in favor of merging under Stepanakert. I've added back the notice and the map that was part of the article before the vandalism. While VfD's aren't supposed to be about settling merge discussions, since it's already here, let's go ahead and settle this one now by merging under Stepanakert. Caerwine 18:41, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect per Caerwine Sam Vimes 21:23, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to Stepanakert, obviously. -- Naive cynic 13:43, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
