Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (non-governmental organization)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article has been the subject of low-intensity edit-warring for years. From what I understand, it's basically a sham and keeping the article is giving it undue importance. The counter-argument is that it's a notable sham, but I think an AfD on the matter makes sense. Pichpich (talk) 19:29, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Oh. Sorry I missed that! So the consensus was that it was indeed a notable sham. I suppose consensus can change, so I'll let this run its course unless it becomes a case of WP:SNOW. Pichpich (talk) 20:46, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - there is a Ukrainian article on the subject but English coverage does not meet article quality. Whether the subject is a "sham" or not is also not clear from the English article currently, it uses ambiguous and unencyclopedic language such as describing "funny" "structures" based on a couple foreign language sources (which potentially may not be reliable). - Indefensible (talk) 00:18, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nothing has changed since the last discussion. " the consensus was that it was still a "notable sham" and should be chronicled as such. " Wanderer777 (talk) 08:47, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Sources don't have to be in English so to resolve this we need source analysis of non-english sources too Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Spartaz Humbug! 02:38, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete I have no ability to search on this in Ukrainian, but as the only result that turns up in an English source is this Wikipedia article, I have to conclude that we do not have sufficient sources to include it here. As it is, the article is weak on content and therefore is not providing much in terms of encyclopedic information. Lamona (talk) 17:16, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
