As suggested by the BBC, this appears to be a hoax using the same of other historic newspapers and publications JMWt (talk) 07:57, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Arguing against myself a bit, there seems to have been quite a lot of coverage about the opening of a "Pravda International" office in Scotland in a lot of British media, so maybe what is needed is to WP:TNT it and rewrite it to reflect what was covered in the media. But then the whole thing is a carcrash if the media itself was using dubious sourcing, including the WP page, to write their stories. JMWt (talk) 08:07, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - I agree with your first point and I was just reading that BBC article too. This article appears to just reference sites referring to the historic Pravda, and the media attention is similarly obfuscating; I don't think it meets WP:N in any case. gbrading  ( &tau; &alpha; l &kappa; ) 12:55, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
