This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Ukraine. 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:
- 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.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Ukraine|~~~~}} 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 Ukraine. 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.

Article PRODded with reason "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." Article dePRODded by artucle creator with reason "Wikipedia talk:Notability (academic journals)#RfC on notability criteria. It's just an essay, not a guideline. Therefore, invoking this essay fails as a rationale for a proposed deletion. NJournals may be an essay only, but GNG most definitively is not. PROD reason still stands, hence: Delete.

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academic journals, Transportation, and Ukraine. Randykitty (talk) 08:09, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
- Comment Apologies to Randykitty; I concur that WP:GNG is a relevant rationale. I think I may have been hasty in translating this article from uk:Залізничний транспорт України (журнал) to English before checking whether it would meet the GNG on English Wikipedia. Although it is frequently mentioned in independent, secondary, reliable sources, and used as a reliable source in other journals, meeting the WP:SIGCOV requirement is going to be more difficult than I expected, at least from English-language sources. It may be possible to do so with Ukrainian-language sources, but the digital, autotranslatable sources in Ukrainian that I can find about this journal might not be enough. It probably would require an editor who is better at reading Ukrainian texts in printed works or PDF files without machine translations than I can. Anyone reading this who could, or knows someone who could, is welcome to try! But if not, might it be a better idea to Merge the relevant contents to Ukrainian Railways#Science and education section for now? It seems the best place to keep it until (if ever) this journal merits a stand-alone article. Good day, NLeeuw (talk) 09:59, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

- Soft keep. If no other arguments are coming in, I'm going to take a stance as the author/translator of this article. Namely, that there isn't a strong reason to delete this article based on WP:GNG alone, although that is a legitimate concern. I'm pretty sure that there are enough reliable sources, but that they are mostly in Ukrainian (soms older ones might be in Russian, some newer ones in English). As stated above, I could also accept a merger with Ukrainian Railways for now, but I think it's enough for a stand-alone article, just like on Ukrainian Wikipedia. That said, I should be more careful next time when considering to translate an article about a journal. NLeeuw (talk) 22:08, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: The issue is not to delete or not, but to keep or not, there's a difference. If there is no good "keep" argument, then this should not be kept or, as best, write 1 or 2 sentences in the Ukrainian Railways article. --Randykitty (talk) 22:19, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
- Not really. If there is no consensus, that results in a procedural keep. It seems we are heading there if it just you and me disagreeing. NLeeuw (talk) 10:24, 10 July 2025 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting. And if anyone could explain what a "soft keep" is, I'd appreciate it. I think you meant "weak keep".

- Delete, clear failure of WP:NJOURNALS. That it's "not a guideline" is rather irrelevant as the reason it's not is that some people think it's too permissive. So if you fail NJOURNALS, you *really* aren't notable. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:54, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Ukrainian Railways#Science and education: I don't think it's notable enough to justify an article, based on the sources I found. Nobody (talk) 17:30, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
