Originally BLPPROD, sources were added but not really enough for a BLP article to stand. Clean up was done(by someone else) to remove unverified things, which was nearly the entire page. Claim to notability is being a retired judge of "Supreme Arbitration court of the Constituent Western Armenia". I originally thought this was a sub-national position in Armenia, but after further research it seems to be a position in the unrecognized state of Western Armenia. That was sourced back to the about us page of the reference that says he was a supreme court judge. [1]. The other source indicates he was a district court judge in Armenia, which isn't a international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office that WP:POLITICIAN needs in order to pass.

  • Delete. The position held does not confer an automatic WP:NPOL pass, and the sourcing present doesn't get him over WP:GNG in lieu: the only references present are a single article on the website of an advocacy organization, which is (a) not a media outlet, and (b) not actually about him, but just namechecks his existence within the context of a larger analysis of political issues bigger than him, and the self-published website of the court. This is not what it takes to get a person into Wikipedia. Bearcat ( talk) 02:02, 22 July 2017 (UTC) reply
