This article was created by the sockmaster User:Edson Rosa. They have created many non-notable companies. This article has no sources establishing notability and I could find no substantial coverage establishing notability. I recognize that language could be an issue in establishing notability, so if this company is regionally, perhaps someone can find an independent reliable source.

 * Comment. As one of the largest refiner companies in Russia, there is a number of independent sources in Russian to satisfy WP:CORP and WP:GNG, so I oppose deleting based on lack of natibility. However, as the company was merged last year with its parent company Bashneft and both articles are small, it would be better to merge this article to the Bashneft article (actually there is really no useful content currently to merge, so in practice that means redirecting this article to Bashneft and expand the Bashneft article with new information).

 * Merging is an editorial decision, not a deletion criterion. -- Y not? 20:19, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * It is not deletion criteria and if you read my comment, you see that I not suggested that the article should be deleted. However, the AfD discussion may end with consensus to merge the article with another article. This is quite common. Beagel (talk) 04:40, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep a very silly, unconstructive nom. I added a ref.  There's plenty more. -- Y not? 20:18, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment For this one, there are lots of sites claiming this is a fraudulent company .  I'm not sure if it is or is not, I think we should let a few others take a look?I am One of Many (talk) 20:25, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Well sure, they'll be taking a look for 7 days now. -- Y not? 20:26, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * There is a announcement about this at Bashneft's website (unfortunately only in Russian) informing about fraudulent sites using names related to Bashneft and its daughter companies. Company claims that these sites are not related to Bashneft and provides links to official sites. For Ufaneftekhim the official site was www.unh.ru. However, as Ufaneftekhim merged with Bashneft, this website redirects now to the Bashneft's site. Information in English about merger is provided at Sistema, a parent company of Bashneft; site and in a number of mainstream news in Russian. Beagel (talk) 04:52, 21 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge and Comment this article should be merged with the Bashneft article and perhaps someone who is interested could watch it closely, as there appear to be some issues with fraudulant activity in the name of the company happening online. It's possible this article was originally created for that purpose, so it should be watched closely when kept/merged. NewAccount4Me (talk) 20:58, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
