I couldn't find much about this in the Google search index. The article just solely rely upon a single source and that too is in Russian language. Abishe (talk) 12:00, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep - I'm not seeing any valid reason for deletion. It's to be expected I think that references to a Soviet weapon are in Russian, and there is no prohibition against using Russian sources for articles, or indeed for an article to be wholly based on non-English language sources. It crops up in other Russian language sources, the Russian wikipedia's article on it is at ru:2С15, and a search in Russian will reveal images of it as well as further sources. The fact that mentions are scarce in English sources are understandable, it was apparently a development of the 2S1 Gvozdika developed by the Stela works, but after a long and torturous design process, it was eventually shut down with only a few prototypes built. From the pictures are available, some of these still exist in various states of disrepair. As with many articles, it could use improvement and expansion, but Deletion is not cleanup.

 * Keep Seems to have sufficient coverage in RS.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  18:52, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
