2009 ban of Hungarian President from Slovakia

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

per WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, lack of notability, lack of long-term consequences, already covered in Hungary–Slovakia relations article. Although there are only few things that I love more than Slovaks and Hungarian nationalistic morons having their internet battleground on the Wikipedia, this is just waste of bloody space. It was minor diplomatic incident, between two unimportant countries that half of the world can´t find on a map and rest don´t give a damn, which went fort and on for maybe a week and than was forgotten. Small summary in relation article like above is completely appropriate, if we want to create article for each incident like this, effectively creating largest newspaper archive on the world, Jimmy Wales will have to make another appeal for donation as he will need pretty large chunk of Sahara to place his servers EllsworthSK (talk) 18:10, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Redirect to the subsection in Hungary-Slovakia relations, per WP:NOT, this article reads too much like a tabloid newspaper and long lists of newspaper quotes simply are not encyclopedic. These Slota-Solyom-Fico articles are all a massive walled garden with huge BLP concerns which would be better contained in one article on diplomatic relations and amongst the biographies in an acceptable manner. The tone of this nomination is woeful though, and I advise people in this AfD to please keep cool, one thing I dislike seeing on Wikipedia is people complaining that there's too much fighting between nationalists and then opening fire with rhetoric like this in a way which is clearly going to get people's tempers rising. That "half the world can't place Slovakia and Hungary on a map" is irrelevant, minor diplomatic scuffles between the US and Mexico would be equally non-notable for their own articles, and so is server space, the WMF already has a news source project where an article about this incident probably would have been welcome at the time. - filelake shoe  &#xF0F6;   18:56, 26 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I´ll take blame for the tone. However I quit editing articles which had anything to do with Slovakia, Hungary or both countries combined years ago and few days ago someone left a message on my talk if I could look on one of the issues (completely unimportant in my opinion) which deals with this stuff. Than I started going through other articles relevant to these fights and I figured out that I did a good thing when I decided not to deal with that stuff anymore, it kind of got on my nerves when I saw that these articles are even bigger battleground between two sides whose sole objective is to turn them into their own personal blogs than articles which deal with extremely controversial topics of civil wars in MENA and other regions that I have been focusing lately myself. Than again, I am grateful that you were able to disregard my tone and saw the point I tried to make. EllsworthSK (talk) 00:22, 27 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - useful article, and very important political event in 2009, between the two countries' relationship. --Norden1990 (talk) 22:52, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
