No good sources, seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. The article literally says, twice, that there is a lack of information for use in writing about it.. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 13:35, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Internet and Russia. Shellwood (talk) 14:07, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Many references exist in the corresponding article in the Russian Wikipedia at https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/.%D1%80%D1%83%D1%81 or ru:.рус That article also includes a detail chronology of the top-level domain. Once the information in the Russian article is added to this one, notability should be clear. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:13, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at the russian article, a large majority of the sources are from icann, which is not what I would describe as independent third-party coverage congruent with WP:GNG Sohom (talk) 16:40, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: I'd say it's a plurality. There's usable sources like CNews, RIA Novotsi, and Lenta.ru. Aaron Liu (talk) 17:41, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: yeah it's a new article and it needs time to develop. Just give it time. Robloxguest3 (talk) 21:49, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Delete: Not recognized by ICANN. [1] There's a reference to another Wiki which says ICANN approved it, but that reference hasn't been updated for about 10 years (and is self-published, anyhow).-- mikeblas (talk) 01:35, 30 September 2024 (UTC)- @Mikeblas As a punycode domain, it is recognized by ICANN as

. Aaron Liu (talk) 02:54, 30 September 2024 (UTC)- Oh, I see! The article doesn't mention that it's punycode, or give its local representation of "РУС". (Or, maybe my font set isn't good enough for a discernable lowercase У.) Anyway, Keep, then. -- mikeblas (talk) 03:11, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
