Does not meet WP:GNG. Both this article and its az.wiki counterpart cite quite a few articles by Ilham Naghiyev, but there appears to be virtually nothing written about Naghiyev, having searched Google, Google Scholar, and Proquest for both the latinized and Azerbaijani forms of the subject's name. The sole example of potentially-independent coverage is [1], which has no byline and is of unclear reliability, but even if we accept it as fully reliable we still need more examples of independent coverage. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 20:16, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

There are independent and reliable sources written about the person, showing this article meets WP:GNG. For example, you can check this coverage about the person.[2]میرعلی 797 (talk) 22:48, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

That looks like an unbylined puff piece and would hesitate to call it reliable. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 23:55, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Rosguill You hardly ever can seen bylined articles in Azerbaijani media outlets. So, it does not make the source invalid and unreliable. To prove that I recommend you investigate the case.میرعلی 797 (talk) 22:36, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

That hasn't been my experience reading Azerbaijani news. At any rate, even if we set aside the byline issue, it still reads like a PR puff piece. I don't see how anyone could take Ilham Naghiyev strives to merge business with the IT field, to identify innovations and future trends and continues his activities in these fields. His belief in the “specialization in specific fields can be a factor to strengthen the role of Azerbaijan in the world IT market” is a messenger of the forthcoming success of IT sector of Azerbaijan. as serious, independent coverage. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 23:55, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

I understood, but bylined articles are not a must and criteria in Azerbaijani media outlets. As the article tries to cover the whole biography and activities of the person, I do not find the sentence mentioned as a PR puff piece. It seems that once the person has some activities in the aforementioned segments of business, author's tried to give brief information to their readers about it. میرعلی 797 (talk) 11:31, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

• Redirect to Baku United FC, sports management being one content route I can foresee by which the subject gains notability. I see no reason to delete this page before such merge or redirect. I can't see the future, but I suspect this fellow will eventually meet GNG. BusterD (talk) 01:21, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

  Redirect sounds good to me. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 02:02, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Keep without redirect: After the author adding more sources I can see that the person is notable. It has major coverage on Azerbaijani media and his activities are of high importance. --leilahuseynova (talk) 11:34, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

• Keep Sources such as [3] and [4] seem to support that notability requirements are met. MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:22, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
