This was a draft until 10.52 on 1 May when ICrimea did a cut-and-paste move to mainspace; I have since merged the history of the draft into this page.

The draft had been submitted six times, and rejected six times by four different AfC reviewers, most recently on 30 April. Either those reviewers were all wrong, or this topic doesn't deserve an article here. I'm starting this so that we can reach consensus on which is the case.

Retarget to Simferopol and salt Each resub of this draft has added very little to establish notability for this region. It still isn't clear when the area was approved or zoned. There have been proposals to create such a place in 2015 [1] and 2017 [2] There is a website for IT Crimea [3] but no clear indication in any news websites. No news of any actual zones created or what companies have joined in, only a repeated list of supposed companies and sponsors that the creating editor insists on using non-standard quotes on. See also User_talk:ICrimea#Your_submission_at_Articles_for_creation:_Crimean_Digital_Valley_(April_27)_2. If you can help interpret what the editor is trying to say about the region, that would be helpful. But sourcing the existence of the location to God is a rather extraordinary claim.

Comment I am entirely unsurprised that this article as rejected numerous times at AfC. Poorly constructed articles like this are routinely rejected at AfC - and against policy imo. That in no way comments, one way or another, on its notability. The nominator, in fact, isn't even commenting on its notability. My BEFORE using Цифровая долина turns up a lot of results. Some are clearly press releases while others appear to be reported pieces. If I were to cast a !vote it would be keep, however, I do not feel qualified to know which Russian sources are RS and which are not. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:50, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - just as a practical matter, if you are going to suggest that this is the Silicon Valley of Crimea, then you'd need to have some companies mentioned. Otherwise it's just government PR. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 03:04, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge with the main article about Crimea. I think it's the better way than deleting the Article.Forest90 (talk) 01:15, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
