This article is currently an WP:OR essay. As it stands, it makes more sense to gradually build the "History" section of the Economy of Azerbaijan and create a standalone article if the "History" section in that article becomes large enough to warrant a standalone article. Having two separate articles on the same topic is at this point going to worsen the quality of both articles and make it harder for editors to craft comprehensive encyclopedic on Azerbaijan's economic history.

• Keep WP:OKFORK - the Economy of Azerbaijan article clearly states that it covers the present Republic (ie post-1991), that's a perfectly good dividing line. There's no doubt this subject is notable in and of itself and requires an article - the present status of the article is mostly irrelevant in terms of an AfD discussion. Moreover, there's a difference between a notable topic containing original research (which can be removed) as against an article topic which is original research. What we have here is the former, only the latter is grounds for deletion. Ultimately, AfD is not cleanup. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 21:18, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep WP:OKFORK per above. This seems to fit well into SUMMARYSTYLE as a child article of History of Azerbaijan and Economy of Azerbaijan. Article definitely needs improvement but my search on Amazon and JSTOR showed works on Azerbaijani economic history that I think show this could develop into a decent article.  // Timothy :: talk  07:22, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
