talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
Delete and merge to the border crisis article. Current article has been inflated with irrelevant content. if every mine and mine explosion (estimated at a million citation needed) will have an independent article then we have a lot of irrelevant content yet to add to Wikipedia. -

Strong delete This article is Azerbaijani propaganda and a hoax. Azerbaijan's state media claims that
the mines were newly placed by Armenian reconnaissance groups despite the explosion occurring 11 km from the line of contact. Every single source in the International section cited to international figures and representatives is actually cited by an Azeri source. And almost all of the international reactions are simply expressing condolences for the deceased, without even making a single mention of Armenia. These sources are being falsely attributed to supporting the Azerbaijan propaganda narrative. Given that much of the article is built on "the Azerbaijani side blamed Armenia", something not even mentioned by the international sources, the explosion itself is just news, and the article should be deleted per
WP:NOTNEWS. --

It is so disturbing for you to label two journalists getting killed as a "hoax". Some organizations and foreign political figures did accuse Armenia. It isn't that hard to read the article.

Keep The topic is notable enough to have its own article as its detailed, and was touched upon by numerous international organizations like UNESCO, OSCE, Reporters Without Borders etc.--

Keep If the incident had been so small and insignificant, so many states and international organizations would not have reacted. The article is well prepared and has 53 references. So there is no issue for discussion.--

Keep. Notability cannot be questioned. The event received wide international coverage and reaction from many international organizations.

Delete Duh. Do we have a separate article for every explosion in Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict or in any conflict? If yes, then let's keep this one, if not (it's not) then the lead of this overinflated piece can be compressed and easily fit into the aftermath of NKR war, or AA border as a sentence or a 2-3 sentence paragraph as a maximum. I cannot understand the tendency (that comes from az.wikipedia.org) of making WP a news channel - there are magazines and news websites for that, what's the encyclopedic significance of this?

Comment: Easy to write this as someone who was (seemingly) unaffected by the explosion. Regardless,
WP:GNG is what is considered as criteria for notability of standalone articles on Wikipedia-- not your criteria.

Keep. Temporarily coming out of retirement to oppose this motion for deletion. We are not talking about soldiers suffering casualties here, these are journalists, and we are not talking about the territory of former NKAO, this event occurred on undisputedly Azerbaijani territory, during a period of relative peace, making it one of the most notable events in the region since the 2020 NK war ceasefire. We have 54 sources, among them American, Ukrainian, Russian, Turkish, Iranian, and international sources. You have the Human Rights Watch, the Council of Europe, the OSCE, and the International Federation of Journalists reporting on this. You have embassies/ambassadors of France, Italy, Israel, Russia, Iran, and Georgia in Azerbaijan acknowledging the event and offering their condolences. Ultimately, a well-sourced article about a notable topic. -

Keep A journalist death in disputed territory after a war over that terrority is very notable, which caused a minor diplomatic crisis. This is right in the lead, please don't just ignore what the article has to say for it's own self. Many of the votes here reek of people who haven't read the article at all.
