Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deportation of Azerbaijanis from Armenia
This is a difficult decision. The article as it stands appears to be unbalanced in a way that favors an Azeri perspective. This, I hope, can be corrected through editing, although I think there may be a more fundamental POV conundrum at work here: one could argue that the very existence of the article constitutes a POV violation. If one were looking at it from the Armenian side, one could argue that the idea of a systemic, planned deportation of Azerbaijanis across different eras of the 20th century is an Azeri construct. Thus, the Armenian could argue, the article's very existence gives credence to the Azeri perspective at the expense of the Armenian one. I think we can put to rest this concern, however, by pointing to the first quote above from Grandmaster from Thomas de Waal, which seems to show that the subject has been covered as a cohesive unit. A cursory check seems to show de Waal is a relatively reliable source, even if he has been criticized by Armenian partisans. There appears to be enough above to show significant coverage of the subject in independent, reliable sources to meet the . The article should be improved to give a more neutral perspective on the subject and the events surrounding it. Cover the controversy, in other words, instead of pushing perspectives
