Foreign relations of Denmark[edit]

Nominator(s): Ahmetyal 23:28, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because it has undergone many changes. From this to this. Ahmetyal 23:29, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Oppose. There seem to be currently no "Foreign relations" articles that are either featured lists or featured articles, but I would expect an article like this to be an in-depth exploration of the international relations and foreign policy of Denmark, not just a list of countries it has exchanged ambassadors or consuls with. There is some of that in the lead, but most of it is unreferenced. In addition, the year that formal relations began is missing for many countries and unreferenced for more; there is a link to a dab page, one to a redirect that points back to this page, and somewhere on the order of 78 dead external links.

Oppose. Per Ucucha, should be renamed to List of foreign relations of Denmark. Lede is also completely unreferenced and not backed up in list. Sandman888 (talk) ^{Latest FAC} 11:11, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, looking into it a bit more, it's probably better to follow the model used by Foreign policy of the United States and Foreign relations of the United States—the first a prose summary of foreign policy, the other the list of bilateral relations. "List of foreign relations of Denmark" sounds ungrammatical. But all that doesn't do anything to the other problems this list has. Ucucha 11:17, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and urge withdrawal. Of the 159 references, not one is properly formatted with even the most basic bibliographic details. Add that to Ucucha's issues, and I think these are problems best fixed outside of FLC. Courcelles 21:50, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
