Fails general notability guidelines. No reliable secondary sources, since at least May 2022. —Michael Z. 23:37, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Albums and songs and Ukraine.  —Michael Z. 23:37, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * comment for all of what it is, can't it go under the main Luhansk article? This isn't Oh Canada, it's an anthem for a country that may or may not exist, depending on who you talk to. Oaktree b (talk) 23:45, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It’s already mentioned there, although it’s inclusion would still be dubious without proper sourcing. The quantity of text in this article is certainly not warranted for inclusion, and should not be merged into other articles. It’s an “anthem” for an entity that’s supported by wartime propaganda, and to include material based on advocacy rather than on WP:reliable sources is to participate in it. —Michael Z. 20:18, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete unless reliable independent sources are found that devote significant coverage to this anthem. Cullen328 (talk) 00:13, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Just prior to my creation of the article, the LPR page featured a (then) red link to it with an ruwiki link next to it...I had thought that was meant to encourage article creation. Oh wells... I am not exactly sure of the point of reinstating the red link and pointing casual readers to the Russian wiki again, though I can understand why this article is being subjected to AFD.

 * No shade. Existence or absence of red links neither confirms nor denies that such an article would qualify under the WP:GNG. If this article is deleted, then the red link should be removed. If sources are later found that warrant an article, red links can be restored, and a proper article begun. —Michael Z. 20:20, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I concur with Michael Z. If this article is deleted, then the red link should be removed. Inter language links exist to aid readers when we do not yet have an article, but they are not intended to circumvent local Notability policy when a subject is known or believed to be non-notable. That issue will presumably be established by this AFD. Alsee (talk) 06:31, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Seloloving, WP:Red links are indeed intended to encourage article creation. Unfortunately anyone can create such links (or cross language links) at will, with no quality check and little cleanup. It sucks that you got caught by this. It's always vital to gather several solid sources before starting work on a new article. Alsee (talk) 07:04, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: Sadly, I agree too. I have preserved the article locally and will try to reinstate it with better sources if and when they arise. Presently too much homework on my plate for time to write an entire article at the moment. I have actually gathered more sources on the DPR anthem, but will hold off it for the present.

 * Delete Mainstream sources are yet to provide any coverage to this anthem. ArvindPalaskar (talk) 12:05, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Luhansk People's Republic. Fails WP:NSONG per nom. SBKSPP (talk) 00:55, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Luhansk People's Republic as valid alternative to deletion and likely search term. czar  04:23, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV and WP:NM - no mainstream sources, no recognition as an independent nation, and no charting of the single or song. Bearian (talk) 17:59, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
