I felt that it was important to note that Safarov's actions do not appear to be widely condemned by the Azerbaijani government, but are rather promoted as an example to follow.

Merger
Currently both articles Gurgen Margaryan and Ramil Safarov are essentially about the murder case and related developments, such as international reactions. This leads to a duplication of effort. It is also contrary to WP:1E, which says: "When an individual is significant for his or her role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both. ... The general rule in many cases is to cover the event, not the person." For these reasons, I propose merging both articles into a single one about the murder case,Murder of Gurgen Margaryan. That article would have subsections for the biographies of both men. Sandstein 08:53, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- Comment - The suggestion to move Ramil Safarov article to the proposed Murder of Gurgen Margaryan article has already been discussed and such move was rejected just 7 days ago. The suggestion to delete Gurgen Margaryan article has also been discussed and the desion to keep it was made only 9 days ago. --Daniel (talk) 09:09, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose I would support the merger before the extradition, but since then both articles passed the WP:1E threshold. George Spurlin (talk) 10:12, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose - Ramil Safarov is known for at least two events: the murder he committed in 2004 and his controversial extradition and pardon in 2012. The second event received probably even more publicity in the world than the first one. So it's clearly not the case of a single event (WP:1E). --Daniel (talk) 10:39, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- Merge Both articles copy each other describing the same event (murder, trial, further developments and reactions etc), citing the same sources along with very little biographic content Angel670 talk 19:17, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose. Article Ramil Safarov is mostly (or significantly) not about murder, but about his extradition. If we had a separate article, "Extradition of Ramil Safarov", this merging might be reasonable, but we do not. My very best wishes (talk) 01:58, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
- Merge - they are participants of the same event and they are popular because of the same issue. There is no reason for having separate article about Gurgen Margaryan, because there is no encyclopedic significance of this person outside of the murder event.

- Exactly what I was thinking, according to WP:VICTIM a crime victim should only have a stand alone article if there is historical significance, "indicated by persistent coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources that devote significant attention to the individual's role." For example, there are many sources covering George Floyd's life prior and during the incidents that lead to his death, sufficiently to justify a separate article. But none of the sources I've examined about this murder focus on Margaryan's role, all he did was be the wrong nationality at the wrong place/time. (t · c) buidhe 01:05, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- It should be noted that the majority of detail regarding the murder and its aftermath is in the Ramil Safarov article which has 63,500 bytes and 102 inline cites. The Gurgen Margaryan article, on the other hand, has 15,379 bytes and 20 inline cites, seven of which are also in the Ramil Safarov article, while the remaining 13, which are specific to Margaryan's life and family, are not among the cites listed at Safarov.
- Also, the three entries under Margaryan's "External links" — 1) Media related to Gurgen Margaryan at Wikimedia Commons 2) Budapest Case - on the murder of Lt. Gurgen Margaryan: Safarov's testimony, eye-witness accounts, Armenian and Azerbaijani Responses and 3) ArmeniaNow.com Murder of officer at NATO peace program provokes outrage — are not listed under Safarov, which has different "External links".
- Thus, it would seem more intuitive to propose Ramil Safarov → Murder of Gurgen Margaryan and then merge the biographical details as well the 13 inline cites and the three "External links" unique to Margaryan into the newly-renamed Murder of Gurgen Margaryan article, in the event there is consensus for the Ramil Safarov → Murder of Gurgen Margaryan renaming. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:42, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - Wouldn't it make more sense to create a single article that synthesizes both angles on the event, then? Both Margaryan and Safarov appear to be notable only for this incident, so WP:CRIME and WP:EVENT would both suggest that a single, event-focused article would be the most appropriate way to handle this case.

- Support per nom. Unfortunately, yes, Gurgen is only notable for his horrible death. And I trust Buidhe's suggestion, she's one of the most prolific editors in AA area and far beyond, especially in genocides/massacres articles. ZaniGiovanni (talk) 15:30, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
