Historical structures of Governments of the Russian Federation

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Deletion arguments see. It has to be kept because the structure changes through time and one is current and there are also historical ones. It is useful to determine what the structure was when a event in the past is analysed. Many offices change names and the article is helpful to track that. It is to be updated with better formatting, as the main article is also still too short and has to be expanded. The main article, Government of Russia, may be a place to store the current structure if updated, similar to the template. Corresponding Russian article for this AfD is ru:Структура федеральных органов исполнительной власти (1994—2000). --ssr (talk) 10:53, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep useful article, does not violate any policies Alex Bakharev (talk) 12:11, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Commment It's a mess. It links to an article on ru.wikipedia, "Структура федеральных органов исполнительной власти (1994—2000)" and that article appears to be seven different reorganizations in less than six years.  I gather that the point of this article is to show how agencies were organized when the the RSFSR was a part of the USSR, and then how it is now that the Russian Federation is its own nation.  That's a lot of information to present, and this article doesn't organize it very well.   Maybe it should be userfied until it can make its point. Mandsford (talk) 16:35, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes it's a mess that is a result of the complexity of the subject and number of the authors who contributed to the article. As I said, it's going to be updated, but not quickly (changes in government are possible after Russian presidential election, 2008). That means article is in "raw" state and is to be improved, not deleted. --ssr (talk) 10:12, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete If kept, definitely needs to be overhauled and improved.  crassic\talk 19:49, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. It is messy, but that's not a reason to delete it outright.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:46, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
