Deletion of Donetsk People's Republic

Comment: per . A incident wherein a handful of provocateurs proclaim a republic to aid Russian aims is not encyclopedic just because it receives some news coverage. All crystal ball claims that it will lead to something big shoulod be ignored for now. At most, it should be moved or redirected to an article about Russian territorial annexation of Ukraine territory

Comment: Some people here should really stop using arguments like "anyone can declare a republic from a basement" or anything similar because there are no sources covering "your republics". It's as simple as that. These events are certainly notable and are the core of an ongoing crisis. On the other hand, i see many  arguments that are also irrelevant

Comment: to a better title, any of the names proposed earlier above (2014 Donetsk Crisis, 2014 Donetsk protests, etc), so that the page becomes about the 2014 event, and not the "republic". As of present, what we have here is a scuffle inside a building, and not an actual republic based on any of the theories of statehood. That said, the ''event'' is real and well-documented within third-party reliable sources, which demonstrate |notability. Afterwards, we should wait a few days to see how the situation unfolds; if it dies down into obscurity, then '''merge and redirect''' into the existing articles on the Ukraine crisis. Presently it's too early to call a definite decision, as things are rapidly changing
