The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Sberbank of Russia. As noted, there is more substantial coverage of this topic on another wiki - so if appropriate, the contents of this article plus any expansion of such can go in the article on the owner of this product.

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:DGG with the following rationale "can at least be merged". But merged where? He didn't say and I don't see an obvious target. As I discussed in my Signpost Op-Ed, this is a good example of Yellow-Pages like company spam. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:17, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

keep and expand or merge to Central Bank of Russia This is apparently the major commercial bank in Russia. According to the article on the Central Bank of Russia, "The Bank of Russia owns a 57.58% stake in Sberbank, the country's leading commercial bank." Such a bank should have an article. The present article may be essential a directory entry, but it is not spam. DGG ( talk ) 04:23, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

keep or merge to Sberbank of Russia, because the card was designed for use by the Sberbank customers. This article has much more substantial coverage in Russian wiki. The card did exist up until 2012 and was quite popular because of the spread of the Sberbank network, which remains to be the largest bank network in the country. Definetely not a spam.

Merge and Delete to Sberbank of Russia. The card no longer exists but the bank does. On its own, it fails WP:CORPDEPTH and GNG. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 14:51, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Sberbank of Russia; there's nothing to merge as the article consists of two sentences and does not list 3rd party sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:03, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
