South Ossetia in the Eurovision Song Contest

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

Pure speculation. StaticGull Talk  14:04, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No actual information. South Ossetia could also join the UN, or go to the Olympics, or join NATO, but we won't be writing articles about those (I hope).  gnfnrf (talk) 14:13, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:Crystal. De728631 (talk) 14:14, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:CRYSTAL. Perfect  Proposal  14:16, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Original speculation without any source or fact to back it. The troubles in South Ossetia are far greater to be even thinking about whether or not they'll be competing in Eurovision. Sjakkalle (Check!)  14:17, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Oh... where to start?  A two line essay that manages to break WP:OR, WP:CRYSTAL, WP:V, WP:NOTE and WP:RS all in one go!  Nil points! --  JediLofty Talk to meFollow me 14:38, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per JediLofty. "Oh where to start" is right.  tomasz.  15:13, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per general practice that countries should have at least expressed an interest in joining the contest before having an article about it. I have not found anything on a search that suggests the article can meet WP:V or WP:N at this time. Camaron | Chris (talk) 15:17, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per JediLofty. This starts with an extremely debatable assumption - that being unilaterally recognised by one country contitutes being "in line to becoming an independant [sic] country" - and then proceeds with unsourced crystal-ball gazing. Should probably have been prod-ed. Soaringgoldeneagle (talk) 15:18, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete What!?!?! Another one of these? See Articles for deletion/Libya in the Eurovision Song Contest. South Ossetia is not even a country yet and I don't recall hearing anything about them wanting to compete. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 15:21, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. At least S.O. is in Europe, barely. Whoever created the Libya one had some unusual notions of what constitutes Europe... 23skidoo (talk) 16:57, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Cmt. If Abkhazia in the Eurovision Song Contest shows up, delete that too.  tomasz.  15:31, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. Utter speculation with no content, no sources. The fact an attempt is being made for the country to become independent does not justify such an article unless there is an announcement. I think this could probably have been speedied or PROD'ed without needing to go to AFD. 23skidoo (talk) 16:55, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Per above Xeron220 (talk) 17:01, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete "South Ossetia could be taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest now they are in line to becoming an independant country." Maybe a contestant can sing "Georgia On My Land Mine".  Mandsford (talk) 18:09, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy this, it doesn't stand a snowball's chance. A good example of a really bad article. --N Shar (talk · contribs) 18:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
