Fails WP:BASIC notability. There is essentially no coverage outside of Azerbaijani sources. There's nothing that makes these two any more significant than tens of thousands of other people who died in the conflict and don't have an article. The two deaths are also unrelated and happened several months apart. KhndzorUtogh ( talk) 23:03, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

- Delete Their deaths are a tragedy but if there is no coverage outside of Azerbaijan, is it a notable enough death? -- Artene50 ( talk) 00:14, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Passes WP:GNG. Stuff not receiving coverage outside of one region or language doesn't make something non-notable, plenty of articles on the wiki fall under this category. Non-English sources are just as viable as English ones per WP:RSUEC. I do however agree that the two deaths are completely unrelated, but I think it would make more sense to WP:SPLIT the article rather than simply delete it. Pladica ( talk) 01:41, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- @ Pladica: It fails GNG because there are no reliable sources independent of the subject, the language of the sources not being the issue. Almost all of the citations are Azerbaijan State News Agency or the Azerbaijan government website. KhndzorUtogh ( talk) 22:39, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per Think of the children, WP:SIGCOV, and WP:LIST. Children dying in war zones tugs on the heart, but many Israeli, Palestinian, Ukrainian, and Armenian children have been killed, too, in the past two years. Having only government sources, or of government-controlled media, does not pass the significant coverage test. This is also a list of two items, failing that test. My condolences.

- Delete because of the independent coverage concerns already raised. microbiologyMarcus ( petri dish· growths) 18:53, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
