Reservoirs and dams in the Commonwealth of Independent States[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The page duplicates List of power stations in Russia, List of hydroelectric power stations, List of largest hydroelectric power stations, and others such as List of pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations, and probably List of reservoirs. Additionally, the page is also orphaned and almost ignored. Rehman⁽⁺⁾ 03:57, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is probably nothing wrong about deleting this aritcle; but if one deletes it, one should make sure that all non-trivial information has been transferred to appropriate country-specific articles, e.g. List of power stations in Tajikistan, List of power stations in Georgia, etc; when one does not exist, it probably should be created. Also, the development of hydroelectric power industry in the USSR 1922-1991 is certainly an encyclopedic topic, and may deserve its own narrative line (so that stations in different ex-USSR states can be discussed along a single timeline), but the current article is not a particular good example of covering that topic.

Hello Vmenkov. Just to let you know that i have added (some already added) the entries to the relevant country-level lists. Only some entries (Nurek and Rogun, which needs a country-level list) are yet to be included. Rehman⁽⁺⁾ 11:30, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The CIS still exists as an organization, but one might as well write an article called "Reservoirs and dams in the Organization of American States". Rather than trying to figure out which of the former Soviet republics is represented in the CIS (Russia, yes, Georgia, no, Belarus, yes, Estonia, no) one could write an article called Reservoirs and dams in the Soviet Union (which is, appropriately, a "red" link.
