I am unsure this deserves a stand-alone article. It is one mobilization order, that seems to me to be all a bit forkey. Slatersteven (talk) 13:38, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In addition to the decree, we have the widest public outcry, protests with detentions, Statement of Putin and not only him, mentions of all the media: from small regional ones in Russia to world-class ones like AP^[1], Reuters^[2], DW^[3] and so on. It's like removing an article about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. PLATEL (talk) 13:43, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Front page news on CNN, BBC and elsewhere, prompted protests, massive one-way ticket buyouts and queues on Russian-Georgian border to escape the mobilization. The first such step in Russia since World War II. Meets WP:EVENT and WP:GNG. Brandmeister^talk 13:48, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep first time mobilization has been implemented in post-Soviet Russia, clearly notable. Satellizer el Bridget ^(Talk) 13:58, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep First Russian mobilization in like 80 years, first in modern russian history, and also huge turning point in the war. CR-1-AB (talk) 14:14, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep: Fails WP:CFORK. 213.233.108.79 (talk) 15:03, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep: Incredibly significant event on its own right. --Pithon314 (talk) 15:34, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I simply can't believe that anyone would consider this article not worthy as an article on Wikipedia. The mobilisation by Putin has a similiar significance like "The Emser Depesche" in 1870: it simply changed history. --Chris.w.braun (talk) 15:38, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This idea is absolutely horrible. The mobilisation is noted in many sources. 64.82.204.2 (talk) 15:52, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep of course. If you call it a "fork", then it is a necessary fork. I'm more of a reader than editor of Wikipedia, and I can tell that I actually avoid reading these long and too detailed articles on Ukraine conflict. Specific subtopics deserve separate articles to avoid a mess.Knižnik (talk) 17:16, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep About the event is written in the most reliable world media, the event of really world importance.--Dark Juliorik (talk) 17:31, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep per reasons above, this is clearly notable even now, two days after it has started. Unspectrogram (talk) 17:39, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Putin's ongoing call-up is the third ever mobilization effort, after WW1 and WW2, in the history of one of the most populous countries in the world. Putting its possible ramifications and consequences aside, it is already a major historical event both locally and internationally. --Kober^Talk 18:02, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The mobilisation will definitely alter the course of history, and could see a drastic change to the ongoing war. --Ricky250 (Talk) 18:35, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per above. A clearly notable event within the wider conflict that has already received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources and no doubt will continue to do so. WJ94 (talk) 18:38, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
