Also nominated:

These are all (distinctly ostalgic) articles about Soviet or post-Soviet military parades in specific years, created by Aa372798 ( talk · contribs). Even if these each were (one assumes) covered extensively in the national press at least, all of them are WP:MILL as far as I can see, given that these states like(d) to do a lot of parading. The contents are all as one would expect: tanks roll, president salutes, General Somethingevich gives a patriotic speech, etc. Essentially, this amounts to WP:NOTPRAVDA. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1964 May 1 Parade.

I did not nominate articles about parades covering multiple years, or parades that appear to have individual historic significance. I did stop at some point in the user's history, but might nominate more batches of such articles if these are deleted.  Sandstein  06:59, 26 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Famous how? The article doesn't tell us. I could see an article about this parade generally, but a single year?  Sandstein  06:36, 29 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Well, it was the 40th anniversary of the GDR, so it was quite a special occasion and most of the Eastern Bloc leaders were in attendance, but the thing most remembered is how the event turned into an embarrassment for the regime due to chants of "Gorby, save us". Everyking ( talk) 20:10, 29 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Sources? I suggest that a more general article about this annual parade is created first, and the spinoff of individual years is considered later per WP:SS.  Sandstein  10:30, 3 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete no indication of notability per each parade, and certainly having all of these random parades as stubs without indication as to their importance is a violation of at least the spirit of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. TonyBallioni ( talk) 06:16, 29 August 2017 (UTC) reply
