__TOC__
== Summary ==
Due to persistent abuse, ''SouthFront'' is on the [[WP:SPB|Wikipedia spam blacklist]], and links must be [[Wikipedia talk:WHITELIST|whitelisted]] before they can be used. ''SouthFront'' was deprecated in the 2019 RfC, which showed unanimous consensus that the site publishes [[fake news]] and Russian propaganda. The use of ''SouthFront'' as a reference should be generally prohibited, especially when other sources exist that are more [[WP:RS|reliable]]. ''SouthFront'' should not be used for determining [[WP:N|notability]], or used as a [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary source]] in articles.
