criticism

In the summer of 2015, the article about Jabrayilov in Russian Wikipedia was nominated for removal because of "lack of traces on reliable French sources". Jabrayilov's military documents in the Sheki Museum contained several gross grammatical errors; in addition, no details could be found about the military operations with his participation. Many of the medals in Jabrayilov's photo in the museum are for the First World War. During the discussions, Wikipedia users directed inquiries to French military archives about his possible involvement in the resistance movement, but the archives had no information from a man called "Ahmadiyya Jabrayilov", "Michel Achmed" or "Armed". The only archive, Caserne Bernadotte, that confirmed Jabrayilov's participation in the resistance movement replied that Jabrayilov had been in the resistance movement since August 1944 and mentioned a single medal - the 1939-1945 War Commemorative Medal, which was awarded to all former resistance movement members.

After four months of long discussions in the Russian and French Wikipedias, the articles about Ahmadiyya Jabrayilov were deleted because of contradictions between the numerous sources and documents and the impossibility of verifying the authenticity of the facts.
