The page nominated is a sort of accidental hoax. The Moldavian AO never existed - neither de jure nor de facto. Per this, on 7 March most of the CP(b)U Politburo membership indeed agreed that creation of oblast is "politically desirable", but also asked Soviet Ukrainian government bodies to examine certain questions regarding the possible oblast foundation (numbers of Moldavian population, its density, relationship with other ethnicies, etc) and further asked the Russian Politburo not to make ultimate decision until additional consideration of that question by the Ukrainian Politburo. So, at this particuar stage it was merely a proposal, and by the time the autonomy created it was created as Moldavian ASSR, not autonomous oblast. This document, purpoted to relate to AO subdivision, relates in fact to ASSR division, as is evident from text ("міста Балти з частиною Балтського району, що тяготіє до нього — до складу Автономної Молдавської Радянської Соціялістичної Республіки").

So, I propose to delete this page as a hoax. Seryo93 (talk) 06:56, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

REdirect -- not quite a hoax. There was evidently a real proposal, but in the end USSR decided to establish an ASSR not an oblast. The explanation given by nom should probably be used to fill out (if necessary) the article on the ASSR and redirect to Moldavian ASSR. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:50, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Peterkingiron, redirect is also a solution that I would agree with. Seryo93 (talk) 18:03, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The Autonomous Oblast was never actually founded. It was no more than a proposal and in the end another entity came into being. Redirect can be a good idea. Loraine (talk) 12:42, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It seems, that "Moldavian AO project" was realised in a creation of the Moldavian ASSR (see article Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic). This article should remains only as redirection, as proposed previous users--Noel baran (talk) 04:21, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
