I think, this is nothing more than collection of news reports. The table only aggravates the situation. Fails WP:NOTNEWS Blacklake (talk) 12:42, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - this article has been up for two years, it is stable, it is very well referenced, it is an integral part of 2008 South Ossetia war articles series, and it is typical, Wikipedia has many articles of this kind.--Avala (talk) 13:27, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - fine, it's sourced. But it really is just a collection of news, and it's not even written in prose. I think it needs a complete rewrite, but as-is it doesn't work as an encyclopedic article. Encyclopedic topic, but not as written. — Timneu22 · talk 13:59, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No lasting notability. This is acceptable for Wikinews, but not for Wikipedia. DonaldDuck (talk) 01:19, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The content appears to be an integral part of the 2008 South Ossetia war, as attested by its sources. The article was probably spun off the main article because the main article was getting too big.--Pink Bull 03:17, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
