Hasanli has a conflict of interest and cannot be considered a reliable source or an independent one for this topic. I removed his claims of deaths per Wikipedia polices:WP:INDY Nocturnal781 (talk) 04:20, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On what basis do you assert that Hasanli has a conflict of interest? I mean that the book you removed is was published by well-established reliable scholarship such as Routledge, and it was published 2 years after Hasanli joined the opposition, so he had no governmental ties when the book was published.

Hasanli served two terms in the parliament of Azerbaijan 2000-2010. Also because him being Azerbaijani is a conflict of interest. It is widely known the conflicts of interest on history of Armenia/Azerbaijan we should only use third party reliable sources to accurately reflect data. Nocturnal781 (talk) 18:29, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

None of what you wrote is adequate to suggest that Hasanli has a conflict of interest, especially because the book you removed was published by a well-established reputable scholarship such as Routledge, which fact-checks and is peer reviewed. I will not address the claim which literally implies that any Azerbaijani author is unreliable because of their ethnicity/nationality, because it is inappropriate, and I strongly advise to refrain from making such comments.

It is not his ethnicity or nationality I am pointing it out its the fact that Hasanli has worked for the government of Azerbaijan. We do not use government related sources on Wikipedia other than to directly cite what the government says. He’s not an independent, reliable source. Nocturnal781 (talk) 19:14, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is not his ethnicity or nationality - You did write this "Also because him being Azerbaijani is a conflict of interest", didn't you? Hasanli has worked for the government of Azerbaijan. - I addressed this one, by this: "it was published 2 years after Hasanli joined the opposition". We do not use government related sources on Wikipedia other than to directly cite what the government says - Hasanli is not a governmental source, hence this statement of yours is irrelevant. He’s not an independent, reliable source. - so far, you haven't brought any solid arguments why a fact-checked and peer-reviewed book that's published by reputable scholarship is not reliable.

The biggest issue with Hasanli is he openly denies the Armenian Genocide. He also calls it “fake”. This is a huge issue to use him as a reference on Wikipedia it goes against all our policies. Here is the link: [1] Nocturnal781 (talk) 20:00, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Chairman of the National Council, historian professor Jamil Hasanli prepared an extensive article proving with evidence how the claim of "Armenian genocide" is fake. We present the article he sent to "Azadlig" newspaper in parts. The parts are numbered and the newest part is placed last.[2]

Given the above, it's evident that Hasanli is a Armenian genocide denier; his fringe denialism such as sending articles to Azadliq 'proving' that the genocide is 'fake' show his despicable views which couldn't have been more clear. He shouldn't be used to make contentious claims against Armenia or anything Armenia related. ZaniGiovanni (talk) 22:08, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've trimmed all content referenced by Hasanli due to his genocide denialism. – Olympian ^loquere 01:49, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nocturnal781 Thank you for your edits but I don't believe some of them are constructive, firstly:

The Karabakh people rejected demands of Azerbaijani sovereignty over the region that was set forward by Nuri Pasha, commander in chief of Ottoman forces in Caucasus.

This is outside the scope of the article and more relevant to an article about Nagorno-Karabakh or the Karabakh Council; secondly:

The Armenian percentage has been cited as somewhat smaller before the First World War but that figure took in several lowland districts and even so had always shown a clear Armenian majority.

The 1897 census data for Zangezur is already excluding the "lowland districts" and includes the districts making up the present-day Syunik province, see how in 1897, modern-day Syunik had a population of 87,252, whilst the entirety of Zangezur was 137,871.

Thirdly, the onus is on you to gain a consensus to remove pre-existing content, such as the death toll, so please do not remove it until a consensus has been achieved. – Olympian ^loquere 00:44, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The first section literally is about the whole situation that happened in the article it is referenced and reliable. Also seemingly you are asking me to gain a consensus before removing information but you are removing referenced information I have added?? Nocturnal781 (talk) 01:40, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As another user on this page has pointed out, "the onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content", be that adding or deleting content, please read the policy before making further edits, otherwise, you may be reported for edit warring. Thank you, – Olympian ^loquere 02:40, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I kept two sentences that you added, I moved them to a more appropriate paragraph; I only removed the sentence regarding the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh which as previously stated is irrelevant to the article. – Olympian ^loquere 02:55, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I overlooked that edit. Nocturnal781 (talk) 03:44, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Nocturnal781: I removed your POV tag (see the rationale in the edit summary). This type of tagging during a running dispute can easily be seen as tendentious. A POV tag requires full support from editors – it is meant to notify editors that a POV problem has been identified and seek their help in resolving it. It's a maintenance tag, not a "dispute resolution tag". When editors are in a dispute around there being a POV problem in the first place, the tag serves no purpose as the dispute needs to be resolved first to see what if anything will be done with respect to resolving an (alleged) POV problem. If you want to invite others to help resolve the dispute, the correct mechanisms are the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution mechanisms (such as an RfC, for example). —Alalch E. 18:52, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! —Alalch E. 18:55, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

These sections do not seem to be referring to the massacres using cause-effect logic, their relevance as "Aftermath" of the massacres needs to be supported with reliable sources. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 15:18, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The article also includes census data from the late 1800s. This is not relevant to the article given that this article is about the Massacres/Deportations of Tatars/Azeris between 1917-1921. In the interim period was the Armenian–Tatar massacres of 1905–1907 - Wikipedia, World War I, and other conflicts which reduced the population. I have since removed that line as it suggests that the decrease in population between 1897 and 1922 was exclusively due to the Massacres/Deportations that occurred between 1917 and 1921 which is not supported by any citation and there are articles even on Wikipedia which show deaths due to the massacres of 1905 and 1907. R.Lemkin (talk) 20:21, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One year later, this article still remains a incoherent mess of original research complied with unreliable sources and parts of sources that are interpreted very liberally. There are still no actual citations specifically written about an organized a massacre of Azerbaijanis taking place between 1917 and 1921, besides the book written by genocide denier Justin McCarthy. Most of the sources are for deportations (Deportation of Azerbaijanis from Armenia) and only make brief mentions of mutual massacres of both Armenians and Azerbaijanis. I have removed Coyle's claim of 10,000 Azerbaijanis being massacred, if a massacre of 10,000 people had taken place in a single area there would be hundreds of other reliable sources to chose from. Instead we only have an "analyst" with no real notability besides writing hostile articles about Armenia,[3], promotional articles about Azerbaijan,[4] and being paid by the Azerbaijani Consulate General in Los Angeles.[5] KhndzorUtogh (talk) 23:58, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
