Non-notable internet encyclopedia. Minimal coverage and not apparent lasting notability.  MBisanz  talk 01:28, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Websites-related deletion discussions.  -- • Gene93k (talk) 23:21, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Its a notable wiki in Russia, maybe not the rest of world, but its is a big hit in Russia. --TIAYN (talk) 21:56, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Is this notability evidenced in sources?  MBisanz  talk 23:12, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tim Song (talk) 02:32, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep, if its notability can be sourced &mdash; Delete no sourced notability (yes I'm saying the same thing, but reworded for clarity)  Selmo  (talk) 04:38, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Right, as of now it can't be sourced, so shouldn't it be deleted?  MBisanz  talk 03:09, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Ahh, cool, thanks.  MBisanz  talk 04:53, 17 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete It might be too soon to declare non-notability because it seems to have some mainstream coverage and GHits, and there are more possible sources that could be added to the article, but they're in Russian. Also since "95-98%" of the content is from Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary I assume that the site is just getting started and will grow over time. For now it's tough to justify inclusion in English Wikipedia but that might change in the future. Doomsdayer520  (Talk|Contribs) 12:50, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Since the Dictionary was copied there in 2005, and the project was practically abandoned since then, "will grow" is very unlikely to happen. — AlexSm 17:49, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - even the russian version of the page does not add to notability. - Altenmann >t 01:52, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep This wiki-encyclopedia received press coverage. Historically, it competed with Wikipedia. SA ru (talk) 05:11, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: the project did receive a little bit of coverage when it was created but only as a "potential competitor of Russian Wikipedia" which never happened, probably because the main purpose was just to make some money off commercial ads and the growing Wikipedia popularity. — AlexSm 17:49, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
