Hijab protest in Azerbaijan

[edit]

First of all, this article written in catastrophic English, the second fact that this article goes beyond its title and covers information already mentioned in "2011 Azerbaijani protests" (thus qualifying for WP:FORK), while citing POV sources like Islamnews and Panorama.am to claim there that have been large anti-Mardanov hijab protests in Azerbaijan and outside it.

Rescue - I think the article needs to be dramatically improved, but the actual event seems notable. There is widespread coverage which establishes notability, it just needs refining and rewriting. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 17:04, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Even according to the sources provided the event does not qualify as a protest, and much of it actually has to do with the opposition protests that took place in Baku, Azerbaijan in the spring of 2011. The hijab issue was merely one of the many demands the opposition members voiced during their march. Parishan (talk) 05:42, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep -- It's good, but I suggest a little improvement is needed. Mohamed Aden Ighe (talk) 01:02, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per significant coverage in reliable sources: [1], [2], [3], [4]. Northamerica1000^(talk) 00:37, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
