A quick search only finds some hotels, but no real indication of notability. Qwerfjkl talk 21:10, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Minnow nominator: For not even attempting searching in applicable languages, like Russian or other Soviet langs. Curbon7 (talk) 23:36, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I deserve that :) ― Qwerfjkl talk 17:57, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
But does it or does it not fail WP:DICDEF? Geschichte (talk) 09:23, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this does seem like a dictionary definition rather than an encyclopedia article. In Russian the word appears to be "Урочище" which has this article, which is much longer but also seems to be a dictionary definition, in the Russian Wikipedia. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:15, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you are right - this is a rather a dictionary definition of a specific term often applied in Ukrainian, Russian, and some other languages. I have found that such articles already existed in Ukrainian and Russian wiki, so decided to provide an English version. The reason was that often people do not know what is Urochysche and either misapplied this term or incorrectly translated it. For example, often Ukrainian biographists translate into English it as a tract, which is not totally correct and leads to misunderstandings. I faced this problem for many years working as a journal editor, so decided to make a small topic here just to help others in the semantics of this word. I will appreciate it if you will leave this article, which, I believe, will be helpful for many, but it is for your decision, of course. Thanks. Novikoffav (talk) 11:14, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you give a link to the otherwiki versions? Curbon7 (talk) 17:31, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ukrainian article for Urochysche is https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%87%D0%B8%D1%89%D0%B5 ; Russian article is https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%87%D0%B8%D1%89%D0%B5 ; Belarusian - https://be.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%87%D1%8B%D1%88%D1%87%D0%B0 ; Polish - https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uroczysko ; Czech - https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pom%C3%ADstn%C3%AD_jm%C3%A9no — Preceding unsigned comment added by Novikoffav (talk • contribs) 18:54, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - I provided a link to the Russian Wikipedia article above, and that has links to several other Wikipedias, including the Ukrainian if you hit "Ещё 5" in the side panel. I'm sorry, but since this Wikidata thingy was introduced I have no idea how to add links to other languages from our article. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:05, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - Left sidebar -> Add links -> insert two-letter language code of foreign wiki -> insert article name in that wiki. When you connect one like that, all the others will be connected automatically at the same time. Geschichte (talk) 17:03, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        Thanks for that. I have made the connection. I took a look at the Polish article (simply because that is the language that I know best after English) and it seems that this has some encyclopedic possibilities. I know this question is not really connected to deletion, but can we find a better English title for this? Phil Bridger (talk) 18:18, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Draftify for further improvement. The Russian and German versions look good enough for a translation and expansion. And there's enough sources. Less Unless (talk) 13:28, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
