[edit] SOKOL Aircraft Building Plant

Delete. Non-notable, in my opinion. Zpb52 July 4, 2005 15:23 (UTC)

• Keep. From the company website ([1]): one of the leading companies of airspace industry in Russia ... Within the years 1932 through 2002 [the plant] produced 43557 aircraft. Notability established, in my opinion. Sietse 4 July 2005 15:45 (UTC)

But this article is about the plant that produces the planes, not the company itself. --Zpb52 July 4, 2005 15:49 (UTC)

If you think that the company is notable, whereas the plant itself is not, then maybe we should just move this article to Nizhny Novgorod Aircraft building plant Sokol (the name of the company) instead of deleting it. As far as I can tell from the company website, the company operates only this plant, so the article can more or less stay intact. Sietse 4 July 2005 16:12 (UTC)

• Keep, Merge, or Move. I'm not sure what the right thing to do is, but it's clear that this is too notable to delete. RoySmith 4 July 2005 16:16 (UTC)
• Move and expand. Seems notable enough. Jaxl 4 July 2005 19:07 (UTC)
• Move and expand. SOKOL is quite notable and I'm surprised that there's no article yet. Move article to SOKOL. I'll gladly help with the expansion myself. Fernando Rizo 4 July 2005 19:28 (UTC)
• Move and expand as per Fernando Rizo. DoubleBlue (Talk) 5 July 2005 01:12 (UTC)
• Move and expand to SOKOL. It's not the plant itself but the company that's significant. carmeld1 8 July 2005 00:22 (UTC)
