  • Delete The grammar is fine. The article layout is good. The concept is excellent and this is a notable topic. I want to see more articles about industry in countries. However, articles have to start with good references, and this one does not have those right now. Олег73рус, can you fix the citations to the articles you are trying to cite? Even plan URLs would be fine. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:09, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - many of Russia's post-Cold War conflicts have had their genesis in pipe-laying and it makes sense to have an article about the industry that supports that decision-making. The industry represents a significant portion of the country's economy. Decisions about notability should be based on the sources available to support an article, not the sources currently listed in the article itself (which I agree are inadequate). This is a notable subject and the concerns above are WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM problems. This 2009 analysis by the United States International Trade Commission gives a pretty good overview (p.IV-25) of the post-Cold War pipe manufacturing industry in Russia.
