NO GNG. Created for advertising and PR purposes. There is no criterion that makes a person encyclopedic.--Correspondentman (talk) 10:14, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article claims that he is "Head of the Administrative Legislation Sector of the National Assembly of Azerbaijan", which would seem to pass WP:NPOL. I haven't found any sources that would verify that claim, though. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:31, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The original Azerbaijani term that's being translated as "Administrative Legislation Sector" seems to be İnzibati qanunvericilik sektorunun. The current head of that sector, according to the official website, is Kamala Maarif ghizi Pashayeva, but that doesn't rule out Elmir Valiyev having been the head in 2017. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:44, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Wayback Machine only goes back to 2021 for that page. The 2017 version of the website wasn't available in English as far as I can tell, but I was able to find a photo of him on there from 2017, suggesting that he had at least some kind of position in the National Assembly. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:50, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the URL of that image contains the words yeni ("new") and sektorlari ("sectors"). jlwoodwa (talk) 04:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The URL also spells his name as "elmir_vliyev", but a search for "Elmir Vliyev" doesn't turn up anything. jlwoodwa (talk) 04:16, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, this article about his resignation as "Board Chairman of the Public Union Kapaz Professional Club" in 2018 doesn't mention any connection with the National Assembly, and instead gives context about his father. That would be a strange omission if he actually was head of a sector of the National Assembly. jlwoodwa (talk) 04:11, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as failing WP:GNG, unless his claimed position in the National Assembly can be verified. jlwoodwa (talk) 04:22, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
