Deletion Sorting
Project

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Russia. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Russia|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Russia. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Europe.

This is an interesting one. Doesn't appear to be false, but also doesn't appear notable. Levitin may meet WP:NAUTHOR, but I couldn't find any coverage of his books e.g. reviews in literary magazines. You can attempt to look yourself using informal online listings of books and articles he edited [1] [2] [3]. No obvious WP:ATD. Previously prodded; not eligible for soft delete.

After a quick BEFORE, I do not think Lyudmila Vasilyeva meets WP:NAUTHOR. Searches on Google and Google Scholar brought up articles for other people by the name of Lyudmila Vasilyeva, including a runner and activist. Sources may be available in other languages, but I could not find another Wikipedia project with an article for her (searched Turkish, Russian, and Ukrainian, just in case).

List of Yakutia destinations

List of Yakutia destinations (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:V, WP:LISTN, WP:NCORP, and WP:NOT.

This list as a whole fails verification because the overwhelming majority of listings are not cited to anything. Of 70 services run by the corporation, only 18 are sourced to anything at all, and none of these sources are accurate for the date that this list is supposed to be accurate for (August 2019).

The list fails WP:LISTN/WP:NCORP, because in as much as it is cited to anything, it is cited to sources that are not independent, are not reliable, and/or do not give significant coverage to the topic of the list of services of this company per WP:SIRS. Specifically:

  • Polets.ru is a ticket-sales website.
  • Yakutia.ru is the website of the company whose sales are listed here.
  • The dvnovosti.ru story is about a single route, and is based entirely on the statements of the travel agents selling tickets on it, and is only a brief mention of Yakutia ("The flights are planned to be operated by Yakutia Airlines").
  • Aeroroutes is a blog, see WP:AEROROUTES.
  • yakutia.aero is also the company website.
  • RoutesOnline is also a blog per RSN.
  • The BBC article is about airline flights being shut down due to the war as a whole, and doesn't mention Yakutia.

I could go on but every remaining source is the same as the above. All WP:SIRS-fails.

WP:NOT is failed as this is a complete listing of all of the services of a corporation and so fails WP:NOTCATALOGUE/WP:NOTGUIDE.

Finally, this listing fails common sense: why do we even have a listing of services, roughly half of which this company doesn't even fly? FOARP (talk) 12:19, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Redirect to state socialism as they are entirely synonymous. I do not think that anyone here is arguing that this is a hoax, in which case google scholar hits would be sufficient evidence, but rather that this is a duplicate/unneeded fork of our article on state socialism (which is the big concept article that metallurgist describes). Also just cause metallurgist held an ideological viewpoint, doesn't make it notable. I could describe my ideology to be fully automated anarcho-posadisms with luxembourgish characteristics but that doesn't make that topic notable.

  • Keep This article seems to meet WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Policy aside, there seems to just be a lot of effort put into this page so I wouldn't suggest just deleting it outright as there are WP:ATDs available, such as editing the article. There is also no TP discussion on improvements that can be made in the article to remove some of the problems with it (looks like the last TP discussion post was in 2021 and it was unrelated). Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 18:09, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete Authoritarian socialism does not seem to be a thing. The majority of sources in this article don't even use the term. It can be a disambig page, and, of course, it should be kept if someone proves that its actually a term with meaning, like totalitarianism, communist state etc. Right now, however, its just authoritarianism with the term socialism added to it.
    TheUzbek (talk) 19:37, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    As nom I am not voting but at its face I assumed TheUzbek was wrong here. However, I did an independent google, scholar, JSOTR, and Foreign Policy magazine search. The term "authoritarian socialism" does sometimes appear as these are common words. However I don't think there is super good evidence that this is a standalone concept rather than just the use of the two concepts. The strongest result which I do see is this book by Lipow Authoritarian Socialism in America: Edward Bellamy and the Nationalist Movement. This book is a specific criticism of American literature and events which is not really what this article is about and this book does not in my opinion establish authoritarian socialism as a standalone concept. The fact that there are no direct hits on JSTOR or Foreign Policy magazine via WP:TWL make me really question this article. Czarking0 (talk) 20:54, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Incidentally, I used to use this exact term to describe my erstwhile ideology that was somewhere on the spectrum of Stalinism and Chinese governing theory (see here maybe) to the point that I wanted to research and write on the concept, and I wondered for a moment if I had created this article and forgot about it. I no longer espouse those views, but seeing this gave me a chuckle. In any case, looking at google scholar, there are 2500 mentions. There are authoritarian streams of socialism (eg Stalinism, tankies, etc) that contrast greatly with democratic and libertarian socialism. This absolutely is a notable topic on that basis. ←Metallurgist (talk) 22:10, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Google scholar does not state that the term Authoritarian socialism has been used 2500 times Czarking0 (talk) 05:27, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    As you can see here, there are over 2,500 mentions of the term on Google Scholar. - Amigao (talk) 15:40, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as even a cursory look at Google Scholar will show plenty of notable academic works that use this term. That said, this article does need quite a bit of work. - Amigao (talk) 22:19, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Only a cursory look at Google Scholar will show notable works that use this term. if you actually dig into the sources you see this is not widely representative as a stand alone concept. The term authoritarian state socialism at a minimum is more common. Even this is just the use of authoritarian and state socialism together. Czarking0 (talk) 05:30, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep plenty notable and meets WP:GNG for a page by itself. Iljhgtn (talk) 04:54, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    On what grounds? I could leave this comment on literally any AfD without looking at the sources or the page you are not making a policy based statement about this specific article. Czarking0 (talk) 05:32, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Please see WP:BLUDGEON. I think we all get your position. - Amigao (talk) 15:42, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It is not disruptive to respond to each of the unique policy based arguments for/against deletion. This is not a vote so it does not matter what my position is as a single editor but what the various policy based arguments about this specific article are. To say that "we all get your position" is reductive. First of all, what do you actually think my position is? I made this procedural nom and did not state in the nom that I think the article should be deleted. I am attempting to challenge the Keep votes to ensure that actually good policy based arguments are being made. My position is that this sort of discourse is good for the project. I think the editors here that discuss alternatives to deletion have made the best policy based arguments. No one is denying that quote searching any two commonly used terms on google scholar will return thousands of results. Here is a search for "Freud Marx" which is obviously not a real term yet still has thousands of results because these are common words in academic literature. My position cannot fairly be reduced to keep or delete and evolves as other editors make arguments that I see as good or bad based on policy and reason. I never would have thought of this Freud Marx search until I was helped by your "authoritarian socialism" search link. Czarking0 (talk) 16:11, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm neutral on this and could be swayed either way. It would be more productive to focus the discussion on if this term is sufficiently distinct from state socialism and if any problems editors may have with this article could be resolved by editing and improving the page instead of deleting it. I have no doubt that the term "authoritarian socialism" is a useful term to contrast certain ideologies with more libertarian and democratic varieties of socialism, but how the term is used matters more than just whether or not it has been used in Google Scholar. If authoritarian socialism is a meaningful grouping of ideologies or a distinct ideology itself, the page should be kept. If authoritarian socialism is just a pejorative term, how possible is it to overhaul the article to focus it on the term? If it's just a synonym for state socialism, redirect.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 15:06, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of Pobeda destinations

List of Pobeda destinations (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NCORP, WP:LISTN, WP:NOT and common sense.

Common sense first: this is introduced as a list of the destinations served by Pobeda, but the majority of listings are described as "terminated", "airport closed", or "seasonal". This is therefore primarily a list of where the airline does not fly.

Then the sourcing. Where the sources are not generic citations of articles saying that the country concerned has shut down all flights from Russia as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which clearly aren't about Pobeda or its services, the citations are all to WP:SIRS-failing sources.

The airline website is not independent, Routesonline is a corporate blog, Airlineroutes/AeroRoutes are also just a blog, the other sources are all WP:SIRS-failures as they are either not about Pobeda's routes in general, or based entirely on the statements of Pobeda, or niche/industry press, or similar.

Finally this fails WP:NOT because it is a catalogue or guide exhaustively listing all of a company's services (see particularly WP:NOTCATALOGUE and WP:NOTGUIDE). FOARP (talk) 12:27, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
