Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Agdaban massacre (2nd nomination)
it fails  and seems like a hoax, IMO. Human Rights Watch does not make any mention of this "massacre", AFAICS. Neither does the BBC Azeri or any other BBC AFAICS. What BBC Azeri says https://www.bbc.com/azeri/azerbaijan-54950162 is that it is the ''Aghdaban tragedy'' ("Ağdaban faciəsi", with "faciəsi" being translated in every dictionary I checked as "tragedy", not "massacre"). Further, that entire BBC Azeri article is relaying information from the website of the local government. "Kəlbəcər İcra Hakimiyyətinin saytında bildirilir" machine translates to "It is reported on the website of the Kalbajar Executive Power" or "the website of the Kalbajar Executive Power said". Similarly, "Rayonun icra hakimiyyətinin saytında qeyd edilir ki" machine-translates to "It is noted on the website of the district executive power" or "According to the website of the district executive power". Granted, I'm using machine-translation here and don't speak Azerbaijani, but the only place I can find that talks about this event is the one BBC Azeri reporting on the local government's website. YGTBFKM we're going to have an article about a "massacre" based on that source. See also Jr's thorough analysis above. Lack of any hits in GScholar or GBooks is a massive V failure for a 1992 event and I think a sign of hoaxing. This should be creation-protected due to the repeated re-creation; we need solid sourcing for an article about a massacre, war crime, etc
