Keep as article passes GNGTEST and SNG. State/Country level government organizations as well as Embassies are inherently notable and unique.--AbhiSuryawanshi (talk) 04:46, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Embassies are not inherently notable and lacks third party coverage to meet GNGTEST. LibStar (talk) 04:59, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing is inherently notable unless and until sources are provided. Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article. If the subject has not been covered outside of Wikipedia, no amount of improvements to the Wikipedia content will suddenly make the subject notable. Conversely, if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability (WR:ARTN). Self-published sources can be primary, secondary, or tertiary sources. Apart from official site, Embassies do get local news coverage and most of them are notable.--AbhiSuryawanshi (talk) 07:17, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SNG test

As per SNG

Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards:

The scope of their activities is national or international in scale.
The organization has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization.

Let us discuss these two criteria in details -

The scope of their activities is national or international in scale.

This article is about a diplomatic mission of India to Azerbaijan. By default topic is international in scale.

The organization has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization.

Embassy information comes from the official government site as well as other notable media organizations.

As per WP:NEXIST, Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article.The absence of sources or :citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article.

In short, article passes SNG test and is notable.

Keep:As per the support due to reasons as stated above.Utkarsh555 (talk)

Merge. the list of ambassadors to Azerbaijan–India relations, but other than that, the embassy building is not notable. There is certainly no guideline or notion in Wikipedia that embassies are inherently notable. Geschichte (talk) 07:11, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~Keep~~ - As per the support, but merging it to the Indo–Azeri relations might be considered as well. Utkarsh555 (talk) 16:41, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
