List of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in South Ossetia

 * Delete - It's an empty list because the referenced database does not have any listings for this "country". No references tie stratigraphy and this geographic entity together.Glendoremus (talk) 07:10, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I did some researches. There's lots of references from reliable sources but the article needs lots of changes and work. Its not a separated country, just little region as a part of Russia. Weak keep if proper sources and links will be added. There's more than enough of them in simple google search — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucasserrano (talk • contribs)
 * Delete - It seems pointless to have an empty list. If reliably sourced information becomes available in the future, the list can be re-created. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:30, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree that it is pointless to have an empty list in article space.  Anyone that wants to work on this can move it or copy it to Draft:List of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in South Ossetia until some actual content is added.  Gnome de plume (talk) 14:54, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The whole set of "stratigraphic units" list per country sounds questionable to me. I realize there might be too many of them to merge all in Lists_of_fossiliferous_stratigraphic_units_in_Europe, but it is fairly obvious that there will be some imbalance of length between e.g. List_of_fossiliferous_stratigraphic_units_in_Italy and List_of_fossiliferous_stratigraphic_units_in_Luxembourg. Couldn't them be sorted by more general geographic areas rather than country (which would also avoid questions such as whether South Ossetia is a country)? (I realize that creating those articles was more productive that my whining here, but hey, it's true.) Tigraan Click here to contact me 11:51, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Can't know that the list is empty if it is deleted.  Deletion also prevents additions.  Unscintillating (talk) 05:06, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
