The result was delete. this is a "weak" close. All that has been verified here is "it exists" - there's no independent sources showing notability. We don't AGF with WP:V. So delete, without prejuduce to recreation IF sources are given to assert notability. If recreated with a sourced assertion, then don't delete as a repost.

Delete. Non-notable. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 08:50, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep A Google search turns up a few references, but none in English. AGF that a national news service has some degree of notability, I would not advocate deletion. Warrah (talk) 15:52, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Site does exist, and has been cited as a source at least 23 times on the English wikipedia. The name appears to refer to the "de facto" independent status of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. I added it to the Armenia related deletion discussions so maybe we can get an armenian expert to weigh in or find more sources (if they exist).--Milowent (talk) 18:27, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
