Blocking of Meta Platforms in Russia

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Conceptually, the topic for this article is not an encyclopedia article topic-- it isn't a discrete specific thing (since a meta platform can be blocked from anywhere, not just russia), and this article is essentially a content fork. We don't host articles with titles like "When a car accident happens" or "Politicians sometimes interfere with the lawmaking process" or "A neighborhood that has the best sidewalks" because although references can be found that discuss these things in depth, they aren't themes that belong in an encyclopedia because of what they try to conceptualize. The article might be movable to "Blocking of Meta platforms in Russia during the second Russian-Ukrainian war" or some other longwinded thing like that, or the content can be added into the article on the war itself or to one on Internet censorship such as that practiced by China and other totalitarian regimes.

 * 首先我個人認為不應該撤除/阻止元平台. 基於疫情，俄羅斯，烏克蘭事件而導致的暴亂，所以不該把責任推于任何網絡媒體平台. 更何況這疫情，俄國與烏克蘭暴亂期間，這些媒體平台都做出很大的貢獻，報導前線消息，呼籲帶動行善，捐款，最近的全球氣候轉變，尤其元平台的貢獻更不能忽視. 而且疫情與戰爭持續，消耗的資源，以及經濟不景，元平台都在供應資源，更帶動科技邁入巔峰，造就更多的就業機會.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coconut3199 (talk • contribs) 02:33, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * This is the English Wikipedia. I don't think a recommendation here expressed in Chinese will be useful to the participants in this discussion. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:02, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge: relevant content belongs at an article like Censorship of Facebook or Internet censorship in Russia first, and if it becomes too big for those articles then it can be split into a standalone article. With the sourcing currently in this article, I think something useful can be written within a larger article. The prose, however, may prove too lengthy and not that well-written to transfer. — Bilorv ( talk ) 15:56, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment I've moved the article during this AfD, since its previous title (simply "Blocking of Meta Platforms") was clearly inappropriate. By the way, we already have two articles with similar scopes in Wikipedia, Blocking of Telegram in Russia and Blocking of Wikipedia in Russia. We have precedents for the existence of this page and it is similar in length and comprehensivity to those two. The examples given by the nominator above are not good comparations to this situation. Oppose deletion. Super   Ψ   Dro  14:13, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete It seems like this whole article could have been a few sentences in Meta. I don't see the value in keeping the content, it is not well written, but redirect or merge options are not unreasonable. CT55555 (talk) 14:30, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Shorten and Merge with Internet censorship in Russia. Articles Blocking of Telegram in Russia and Blocking of Wikipedia in Russia could also be shortened and merged there. Alternatively, the nominated article and aforementioned two articles can be consolidated into one article with a title such as "Blocking of Internet platforms in Russia". I believe merging these articles either into their own article or into sections in Internet censorship in Russia is preferable to how the articles are laid out now due to guidelines like WP:PAGEDECIDE and WP:PERSISTENCE.  ~XyNq tc 15:00, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge with one of the censorship articles as described above. Oaktree b (talk) 15:14, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge I don't think it had significant impact because most people in Russia use VK. Georgethedragonslayer (talk) 10:13, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
