Natural Gas as an Instrument of Russian State Power

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Very little of the article is about the (dubiously notable) book. The parts that are not OR could be added to Natural gas in Russia or related articles. eh bien mon prince (talk) 18:29, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - While the article doesn't seem to be about the book, the book itself doesnt seem to pass WP:NBOOK as well, and so the article should be deleted. Meszzy2  (talk) 23:12, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, with relevant portions added to existing articles about natural gas in Russia, etc.TH1980 (talk) 04:21, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Do not Delete, the book is listed as a recommended read on the NATO website and several scholarly reviews have been written about it, so this passes the first guideline of WP:NBOOK. This also seems to be relevant for scholars in the national/european security field (although only 21 researchers have cited it according to Google Scholar). The article does need, however, substantial edits. Thymmons (talk) 12:40, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. The book is not notable, but the subject is notable. I think the page could be kept if rewritten accordingly. Or the content could be merged to economic warfare or something else. My very best wishes (talk) 02:40, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
