Stubbish article that's existed for over a decade with no other language wiki versions and has little chance of expansion. The article's content currently consists of duplicated content from its linked articles and doesn't have any original content from what I can tell. I'm not familiar with "Military history" articles but to me, I can't see the utility of this article. All of its current content is already covered in the main Republic of Artsakh article I think as well as its subarticles. Much of the history of Artsakh deals with "military history" as well so I'm not exactly sure what differentiates this from the main History of Artsakh article. Would like to others' thoughts on this though. Cheers, Dan the Animator 22:59, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Article needs improvement, but it fits into SUMMARYSTYLE well, I don't think stubbish really describes the article. This would fit as the parent article for the military history articles summarized and hatted in the article. Article lacks sources, but the needed refs are present in the child articles to show this meets GNG and fits into a reasonable SUMMARYSTYLE structure. I can see how this dups some content from the main Republic of Artsakh article, but this I think is a reason for improvement, not deletion. // Timothy :: talk 07:06, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I think this could/should be developed, but it requires a proficiency in Armenian that I do not have, so I cannot really help there. With regards to the difference with the main article, well, I believe this one could deal with a lot of minutiae that are unsuitable for History of Artsakh (comments on military equipment, individual battles, etc.). It will need a lot of babysitting, though, as PoV wars are bound to happen. Ostalgia (talk) 08:02, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment thanks y'all for the replies! I'll withdraw this nom now given the reasoning above and apologies for starting it in the first place! Cheers, Dan the Animator 18:25, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
