The result was keep. Confusing readers into thinking the pipeline is still planned is not a valid deletion rationale. DatGuyTalkContribs 12:44, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Obvious keep - well-sourced article that merely needs to be updated. No valid reason for deletion has been proposed. Thparkth (talk) 16:34, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Seems unlikely anyone will update it - why bother when it is easier to delete it - who would want to read such an article? Reason for deletion is that it wastes the reader's time. Chidgk1 (talk) 14:26, 3 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep: no valid, policy-based reason for deletion has been given. The problem exposed in the nom's deletion rationale is very much WP:SURMOUNTABLE.  Billets Mauves €500 10:45, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * When I ask Google "oil pipelines in Turkey" top of the list is "Category:Oil pipelines in Turkey - Wikipedia" with some pipelines listed including this one. Obviously that is wrong and wastes people's time having to click through and find out that it is not an oil pipeline in Turkey. Chidgk1 (talk) 14:23, 3 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment A project being cancelled is not in itself a reason to delete the article on the project if it is otherwise suitable for an article (there's a reason Category:Cancelled projects isn't empty). That being said, is there perhaps some other place on Wikipedia (presumably with a broader scope) where it would be better to cover this per WP:NOPAGE? In that case, a merge or redirect might be reasonable. TompaDompa (talk) 19:21, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Good idea. I noticed this article because I am currently working on bringing Oil and gas in Turkey up to good standard. If this article is deleted I could add a sentence to that one something like "An oil pipeline from a port on the Black Sea such as Ünye was proposed in the 2000s as a Bosphoros bypass, but was cancelled in 2010. As of 2022 Kanal Istanbul is proposed as a Bosphoros bypass." Chidgk1 (talk) 15:01, 4 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Question Did this article confuse you? If not please could you explain how Russian oil gets to Ceyhan. I cannot understand why you wrote in Ceyhan that "Ceyhan is the transportation hub for ... Russian oil". I need to know as I am currently working on bringing Oil and gas in Turkey up to good standard. Chidgk1 (talk) 15:53, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
