This article is about a non-government post that is written like a government post. I redirected it to Donetsk People's Republic where this topic can be covered more neutrally, but was reverted. Therefore I believe it should be deleted (or at least redirected based on a wider discussion). Thanks Legacypac (talk) 23:45, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be merged with Donetsk People's Republic#Government personally. This state may not be recognised, but it does control territory and seem to have some form of government. JT_dale^Talk~ 15:46, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge. There's ample information on the government of an unrecognised state in the Donetsk People's Republic article already, particularly in light of the fact that it's presented as a list assuming that there will be further elections and (unrecognised?) Prime Ministers. Considering that the status and future of this unrecognised state is unknown, the premise of this article is based on WP:CRYSTAL and is a WP:POV push. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:58, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge. There's not enough information to justify a separate article at this time. Plus as was mentioned, at this time it's not even clear if the state will even last. WP:CRYSTAL at least. RegistryKey^(RegEdit) 22:05, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has a lot more legitimacy as a leader of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant than these guys as "prime ministers" of the DPR, because they are nominated from Moscow. My very best wishes (talk) 22:08, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to DPR. It's reasonable content to hold here, but there's no need for splitting it to a separate article. It's currently so sparse that it's swamped by its own template boxes.

Merge and delete - This article and the linked series of articles related to the DPR are dangerously close to pro-separatist propaganda. What's worse is that this article contains precious few reliable sources and even less substance; the appearance of these articles (a national crest, really?) are clearly intended to impart a sense of legitimacy to a Russian-sponsored rebel Ukrainian state government that no one outside of Moscow recognizes. The article was created by a now-blocked sockpuppet. Merge to to the parent DPR article, and this may be re-created at such time as substantial content supported by in-line footnotes to multiple, independent, reliable sources become available and the need for a separate article is demonstrated.
