The result was no consensus. It's unfortunate this discussion didn't draw more participation, but after three relists, we need to pull the plug. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:03, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Energia-100

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The development of this satellite is only supported by announcements dating from September 2015, with a presumptive launch date of 2018. No further news ever appeared, and now that we are nearing the end of 2018, this satellite is absent from all usual sources documenting ongoing projects and planned launches over the next 2-3 years, that we use for example to maintain 2018 in spaceflight, 2019 in spaceflight and hundreds of space-related articles. A WP:BEFORE search looking for any mention of this project in the last year, yielded no corroborating results. It is doubtful whether the project ever started beyond the 2015 announcement. If this announcement is all we have, the project fails general notability. Hence, deletion looks like the best course of action. — JFG talk 20:12, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. The nominator is mistaken that there is no mention since 2015.  This Space News article from 2017 says "A lack of business, change of ownership, and frayed bilateral relations between Russia and Ukraine stymied Sea Launch’s Angosat mission, which was supposed to be a dual launch with the Energia-100 communications satellite." This 2018 article and this (2017, in German) have essentially the same story.  So even if it was never launched (or even built) it seems to have some notability as a failed project.  However, a merge and redirect to AngoSat 1 may be appropriate if sufficient material for a decent standalone page is not forthcoming. SpinningSpark 20:06, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The sources you cite talk about initial plans for Energia 100; they do not show any progress on it beyond the original announcement. Quoting the German source, Bei der Beauftragung des Satelliten war für 2016 ein Start auf einer Zenit-Rakete von der Seeplattform Odyssey zusammen mit einem anderen Kommunikationssatelliten namens Energia 100 anvisiert worden., which means When the satellite was contracted [talking about Angosat 1 from context], its launch was envisaged together with another communications satellite called Energia 100 from the sea platform Odyssey. I would only support a keep or merge if any source documents some development of this project in 2017 or 2018. Failing that, deletion is the way per GNG. — JFG talk 23:44, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
