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.

Ukraine
[edit]- List of Ukraine International Airlines destinations (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:NOT, WP:NCORP, and common sense.
Common sense is failed because this is a listing of where this airline does not fly to. As is stated in the second line "all flights are terminated"
. Even if it weren't, UIA is a charter airline, so when it was flying it would have gone anywhere you would have paid them to fly to. In as much as this page has any encyclopaedic content at all, it is already described at the main page about the airline so this is a duplication.
WP:NOT is failed because this is a complete listing of the services of a company. As such it is excluded under WP:NOTCATALOG no. 6 which states that "Listings to be avoided include [...] products and services"
. It is also an indiscriminate listing - all destinations are listed even if the airline no longer flies there - and so excluded under WP:IINFO.
WP:NCORP (which applies to the services of companies as well as the companies themselves) is failed because the only sources provided in this article come directly from the airline - either the company website or reports of press-releases, or aggregators like Routesonline that re-post brief company statements. None of these are significant coverage even if they were independent. There is no evidence here at all that this is a notable topic, with significant coverage in reliable, 3rd-party, independent sources that meet WP:ORGIND. Even a WP:SPLITLIST has to have stand-alone notability per WP:AVOIDSPLIT and this does not. FOARP (talk) 09:46, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Business, Aviation, Lists, and Ukraine. FOARP (talk) 09:46, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Travel and tourism-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 10:42, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Ukraine International Airlines for the time being Per WP:CRYSTAL to retain the page history (which meets N/GNG as far as source counts) until the war ends and it (or a future forerunner) flies again, but also, why the nom didn't choose to add a simple 'cities served before 22 February 2022' disclaimer to the article rather than pursuing wholesale deletion is also confusing. AfD is a last-resort venue and we have another example where the talk page is all but tumbleweeds with no discussion (and the main page since 2021) before it was posted here.

- Because I also think this fails under WP:NOT, WP:NCORP, and that a list of destinations for an airline that will fly literally anywhere you pay them to fly is pointless. WP:GNG is not the relevant standard because this is an article entirely about the services of a company and so WP:NCORP applies, but even if it were WP:GNG requires significant coverage from multiple independent reliable sources, of which there are zero cited here - everything is either garbage sources like airlineroutes.com, the company website, or reportage based entirely on a press-release from the company.

- Delete per nom and per the 2018 RfC. Rosbif73 (talk) 06:28, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
