This source has video evidence from the BBC.[https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-56517835 BBC] - "Nagorno-Karabakh: The mystery of the missing church". Video journalist: Abdujalil Abdurasulov. Retrieved 29 March 2021. I think that it should be included. Laurel Lodged (talk) 14:36, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

:It is a snippet from a larger report by BBC which is already linked; not necessary. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 14:42, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

::{{ping|Laurel Lodged}} we've used an Armenian source for the opening of the church, it doesn't mean we have to use the name it uses. There's a clear common name and since it's not a quote by any person (e.g. a speech), the use of a non-common name isn't justified here. Please see WP:COMMONNAME & self-revert. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 14:53, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

:::What does commonname have to do with it? It's per the source, that's what matters. Laurel Lodged (talk) 15:23, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

::::The source may call it anything it wants, but this is an article about Jabrayil. Common name should be used. Grandmaster 18:50, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

:::::{{Re|Grandmaster}} and {{Re|CuriousGolden}} WP:Source trumps WP:Commonname. See "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports[2] the contribution.". Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:11, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

::::::{{Re|Grandmaster}} and {{Re|CuriousGolden}} - do I take your lack of response as agreement with the above position? Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:21, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

:::::::It does not say anything about prevailing over common name. Common name must be used throughout the article. Grandmaster 08:24, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

::::::::{{Re|Grandmaster}} and {{Re|CuriousGolden}} Where is it written that "Common name must be used throughout the article"? Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:00, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

:::::::::See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names): The contents (this applies to all articles using the name in question): The same name as in the title should be used consistently throughout the article, unless there is a widely accepted historical English name for a specific historical context. Grandmaster 16:24, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

{{Re|Laurel Lodged}} Why did you change it again to Mehkavan? We have already discussed naming conventions. Grandmaster 20:46, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

{{ref-talk}}

::Reply {{Re|Grandmaster}} For the very reason you cited above: "unless there is a widely accepted historical English name for a specific historical context.". In that particular time period, during that construction, that was the name that was used. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:10, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

:::It was not a widely accepted English name, therefore "The same name as in the title should be used consistently throughout the article". Grandmaster 11:13, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

::::That criterion is not applicable. It is an obscure Caucasian village. No obscure Caucasian village has ANY accepted name in English, widely or otherwise. In that case we use the name used by the residents at that period in time per the exception noted above Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:25, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

:::::I'm sorry, we cannot make up rules here. There are naming conventions that we need to abide by. Grandmaster 12:41, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

:::::I see no rules being made up. I see a rational interpretation of the rules when part of the conditions ("widely used English") does not apply in the circumstances. Laurel Lodged (talk) 08:56, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

{{ping|AjaxSmack}} you were correct. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:28, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Dear {{Re|Kevo327}} perhaps I misunderstood something, but what exactly is the problem here? Artsakh is self-proclaimed by definition, it is an important detail that is fundamental to the NK conflict, Jabrayil was occupied, what exactly is the issue? - Creffel (talk) 06:02, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

:{{re|Creffel}} I have been somewhat inactive lately but I'm back. 1) Jabrayil was occupied, I shouldn't have changed that. 2) I am not arguing whether Artsakh is a self-proclaimed republic or not, me arguing would not change the fact that it is. I'm arguing whether we need to include the fact that it is, personally, I feel it is a needless addition as we don't do the same to other Republics or states or free territories etcetera e.g. the independent republic of X. What is your opinion on this? - Kevo³²⁷ (talk) 21:27, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Article stating “formerly Armenian-majority” with link to “Первая всеобщая перепись населения Российской Империи, 1897 г. т.63 Елисаветопольская губерния. Н.А.Тройницкий, С.-Петербург, 1904. стр. 138” which doesn’t represent information to probe that statement.

Plus it contradicts with below statement “ According to the census held in 1897, the population of the Uyezd was 66,360, of which 49,189 (74%) were Turko-Tatars (i.e. Azerbaijanis), 15,746 (24%) were Armenians, 893 (1.3%) were Russians, 398 (0.6%) were Kurds and other minorities.[5]”! Which supported with real sources.

Either real prove of former Armenian majority shall be provided or this information shall be deleted.

:actually it's the other way around, you have to disprove the sources or reach consensus. Otherwise your edit will be reverted. - Kevo³²⁷ (talk) 20:50, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

::It was originally Azerbaijani populated village, according to 1855 statistics, which later had slight prevalence in number by Armenian population, probably as result of resettlement policy of the Russian empire. I don't think mentioning all population changes in the lead makes sense. It should be explained in the relevant section of the article. Also, 43% is not majority, I believe it is called plurality. Majority is over 50%. Grandmaster 20:15, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
