The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was delete. There is a concern that the event is not covered in the sources. From reading this discussion, there appears to be an unresolved
verifiability issue. That mandates deletion in this instance.
I am not taking action on the other articles listed by Reaper Eternal, since they were not nominated in this discussion. Editors need to be given a chance to weigh in before actions like deletion are taken.

Shnorakalutsyun (
talk·contribs) who isn't an extended-confirmed editor, they both fall within
Project:Contentious topics/Balkans or Eastern Europe and thus under the
Wikipedia:Contentious topics rules, and all three of
Annwfwn (
talk·contribs),
Alaexis (
talk·contribs), and I have looked at the Sonmez and Zurcher books and not found anything like what the content here says, in the books cited as supposed sources, on the page numbers that the article creator has stated, where xe has even stated a page number at all. By my reading this is not within the scope of the unilateral standard page restrictions, but I think that the outcome of AFD definitely should be that we rid the encyclopaedia of these entire edit histories, erring on the side of caution when an article on an Eastern European war subject seems to have dishonest sourcing.

Agreed. It was a small skirmish, not sure if it's notable or not, but the article in its current form with the falsified sources should not be on Wikipedia.

Comment The Russian article on the War in Abkhazia mentions Eshera only in passing a couple of times. However there is very little in the way of sources about the fighting in the war, so I think keping this article or Integrating it into the article about the war itself would be the right move.

Comment - I declined the speedy deletion as it wasn't a blatant and obvious hoax. If it is determined that this article is deleted for misrepresenting or falsifying sources, the other articles by the author should also be deleted:
I also note that the author wrote five of these articles in only an hour and thirty minutes combined (see
here). I and
Alaexis share concerns that some of the content may be machine-written, hence the nonsensical and incorrect citations. Unfortunately, I don't have the book to verify for myself, so I can't vote in this AFD.

Redirect all of the above to
War in Abkhazia (1992–1993): No objection to deletes. There not hoaxes, but a mole hills made into a mountains. Unless non-English sources that can be WP:V exist, I don't believe any of these has SIGCOV from NPOV sources, even if WP:RS are found I don't see anything here that doesn't merit TNT to make room for an encyclopedic article. Ping me if NPOV sources with SIGCOV are added to the articles.
Yassin Zelimkhanov fails GNG and NBIO, there is nothing from WP:IS WP:RS that shows this individual is notable.
