Ukrainian Internet Exchange

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Apparently non-notable company. Most relevant information is already included in Ukrainian Internet Association and the rest can be merged there. No references supplied. A Google search found no non-trivial news hits at all, and no non-trivial independent sources in the first 80 web hits. Most mentions are mere lists of networks. The one book hit is such a list. These establish that this exists, but not that it notable. Article creator A recent editor appears to have a conflict of interest. DES (talk) 20:46, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as per my nom unless substantial independent coverage in reliable sources is found that clearly establishes the notability of this organization. I search online and could not find such coverage, but it might be off-line or in sources not indexed by Google. DES (talk) 20:50, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

@Des I don't see much difference in quality of this web page in comparison to, for instance article of the same type, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Internet_Exchange The lack of information from google is because ukrainian internet is not widespread yet. Including information about it would help spread the word about it. I will work on improving the article in the future, but want to mention that I don't see any reason for it's deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rkononenko (talk • contribs) 09:28, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Since we have the Ukrainian Internet Association article, I see no need for a separate article at this time. If the "ukrainian internet is not widespread yet" then perhaps the companies involved are not yet notable. As to Moscow Internet Exchange, I haven't looked at it -- perhaps it should be deleted or merged also. In general WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is a poor argument. This site is created by volunteers like you and me, and it may always be that no one has noticed or gotten around to suggesting the deletion of another poor article. It may also be that there are significant differences. For example, perhaps we don't have an article on a parent organization for the Moscow Internet Exchange into which we could merge information.

 * Do you have other sources, perhaps not listed in Google, that can be cited to help establish Notability? Do you think this meets the standards of WP:ORG? If so, why? DES (talk) 16:04, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
