Article of a junior, unaffiliated scholar seems to have been created some while back, mainly with the use of self-published sources. The article reads like an entry for self-promotion and to quote another editor who highlighted its issues on its talk page more than a year ago:
- "Many of the sources cited for claims are written by the subject, and I challenge the use of subject written material when used as the sole support of claims in an article."
- "There are numerous claims which are cited to links that do not support the claim. Sometimes this is because the link is to a general site such as a school. Sometimes the claim is taken out of context from the source. Sometimes, the claim just doesn't appear in the source."
- "There are various external links throughout the article to sites such as Blogspot. I challenge the use of such external links and don't think they are justified in being there."
Recommend deletion due to lack of sufficient notability (aside from a recently published book and a handful of articles and interviews the author has carried out) and excessive reliance on otherwise faulty sources. Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 13:51, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Delete does not meet the inclusion criteria for academics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:14, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to The Armenian Weekly which he edited for years. I suspect he will be notable in future due to a combination of book reviews and various bits of coverage that can be found in places. There's already one review of his book published earlier this year [1] (t · c) buidhe 23:26, 28 January 2021 (UTC)]
- He isn't synonymous with the Weekly. He didn't found the paper and isn't associated with it to such a close degree as to justify a redirect. He should be treated as a person, and as such, the merits of the article be judged accordingly. Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 18:41, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

- Delete Mostly self-published sources, doesn't seem to meet notability standards either. Oaktree b (talk) 20:07, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to The Armenian Weekly, the logical parent article which already lists him. The link in that article would need to be removed to prevent a circular reference. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:56, 9 February 2021 (UTC)]
