Update
editThis news article has some new updates on Mehriban Aliyeva, [1]. Neftchi (talk) 07:21, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

This article needs improvement
editSome of the sources I used when I was working on Heydar Aliyev Foundation have good material. I would also note that the excerpt currently here from Wikileaks is a very slanted subset of what was actually leaked, although of course newspapers loved to quote on the rudest bits. The Wikileaks cable spent a lot more time talking about the power and influence of her family the Pashayevs, one of the most powerful families in a country that is (they note) run by powerful families. I think that is a bit more notable than catty remarks about botox. Our article's description of her as "poorly informed" is based on the cable's description of one event in 2008, where they also note that she was knowledgeable about the work of her foundation. One source for the foundation article said she was likely to be the next president of Azerbaijan, where she is very popular and where her popularity undermines the anti-woman attitudes that have plagued many Moslem nations. Let's make this article something Wikipedia can be proud of, not a hit piece, not a PR piece, but an encyclopedia article about a powerful and ambitious public figure.

{{cite web}}: Check|archive-url=value (help); Cite has empty unknown parameter:|dead-url=(help)- Dear user, could you please clarify why you have moved this content to talk page? Is referencing personal website the only reason? Does it mean that information taken from personal website cannot be used in BLPs unless it is mentioned in another source? Selen578 (talk) 12:39, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, that's right. A personal website is not a reliable source. If it were, you could basically write your own wikipedia page by creating a personal website and using it as the source for the entry. Bangabandhu (talk) 14:48, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
Part of an authoritarian regime
editIt's clearly pertinent to the bio of the VP of Azerbaijan that she happens to be the wife of the President who is the authoritarian leader of the country. She's part of an authoritarian regime. This is needed in particular given that the body details how she won all kinds of elections, but fails to clarify that these elections were not free and fair. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 02:32, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- Snooganssnoogans, I think that's probably true, but we still have to adhere to our policies. Per WP:BLPREMOVE, I removed the "authoritarian" label from her lead as it is not mentioned anywhere in the article body or sourced at all. I would welcome the addition of a well-sourced section on her administration's rights violations. ― Tartan357 Talk 02:36, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
