• Comment Author is a heavy contributor to the Russian (ru:Российская помощь Сербии в ходе Первой мировой войны) and Serbian (sr:Руска помоћ Србији у Првом светском рату) language versions of this page, both of which seem well cited, etc. There is also an existing sub-page related to this topic, Russia–Serbia relations#World War I. I think the topic is notable, but this article needs a some development. Smmurphy^(Talk) 22:03, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The current content is a translation of the lede of ru:Российская помощь Сербии в ходе Первой мировой войны, which I guess is what the creator was trying to indicate with the link at the bottom. Perhaps they were intending to translate the rest (before a deletion tag with a five-character rationale was slapped on it an hour after it was started...) – Joe (talk) 23:27, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Joe Roe: I see what you are saying. I'm guessing you wouldn't be opposed to me withdrawing the AfD nomination? Meatsgains (talk) 23:56, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't, no. I do think it was a bit hasty; deletion is not cleanup and all that. I can't say for sure that the topic is actually notable, though. This really isn't my area. – Joe (talk) 00:02, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I brought it to AfD. I was initially going to PROD but thought I'd be best to bring it here to get feedback from others. Meatsgains (talk) 02:13, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes I wish there was a process of speedy userfy to move new pages by new users like this one (although this user isn't completely new) to user or draft space so they could be developed (and if abandoned, sent to MFD). Like, you could tag it with a somewhat friendlier version of prod suggesting userfication/draftification if the tag isn't removed within some amount of time.

Thank you all because I didn't know that the theme "Serbia Russia in world war I" exists. I made Russian text ruther better. You were right when said that I am not very experienced. I wanted to continue the theme of a Serbian writer later because I haven't time. My aim is to take Pu off power in Russia. Hi! SergiyKursk^(Talk) 16:50, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• REdirect somewhere, unless we get a substantive article by the closure date (or userify). At present this is a useless stub, but it has good possibilities (unless we have an article on it already. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:33, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and move to International aid to Serbia during World War I. That topic is notable, and Russian aid was a notable portion of it. I would say it is not a completely useless stub because of the interwikis. There are sources in English for this topic. Srnec (talk) 00:39, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Serbian Campaign of World War I. I see nothing in this new article that cannot be covered there in a paragraph. ValarianB (talk) 20:33, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Serbian Campaign of World War I is a good idea; anything useful can be added there first. If the volume of content warrants it, then a new article on International aid to Serbia during World War I can be created. K.e.coffman (talk) 08:04, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Serbian Campaign of World War I seems like a good destination to me. Smmurphy^(Talk) 22:02, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
