Algeria–Greece relations

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

whilst they have embassies and a few "cooperation" agreements, almost all their coverage is multilateral not bilateral. , looking at the first 60 items of this search not much happening. Greek Foreign Minister met the Algerian president for 2 hours and visit by a defence minister in 2003 don't make for notable relations. LibStar (talk) 10:16, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment --- these xy nation articles need some policy discussion. I cannot see anything of any note but I am sure that plenty will claim a priori notability. Policy needed!!! Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 19:11, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Multilaterals don't give notability to bilateral relations. Nor does a 2 hour chat session between leaders. Now maybe if there was a horse shoe tourney to be dug up, that might make it all change. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:09, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - nothing to see here. That Algeria is "6th among Greece's Arab trade partners" (as opposed to what, 60th overall?) has no contextual relevance to "Algeria–Greece relations"; neither do a couple of conversations or pieces of paper signed. (Most states today have some sort of interaction; the question is if multiple, independent sources identify that as notable). And please, the fact that the two were both bits of the Ottoman Empire has zero to do with relations between the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria and the Hellenic Republic (the purported topic). Or do you perhaps have sources establishing otherwise? - Biruitorul Talk 15:19, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I have added some content. More visits, section on migration etc. Quite a lot going on. Aymatth2 (talk) 17:25, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep per K2, User Aymatth2 has done a good job of finding information to add into the article. El Greco(talk) 19:33, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This article is about Algeria–Greece relations. I don't think it has yet reached a size where it should be turned into a summary article with links to other articles on more specific sub-topics such as "History of contacts between Greeks and Berbers", "Official Relations between the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria and the Hellenic Republic" or "Algerians in Greece", but welcome advice. The article only skims over the most obvious aspects of the relationship. A rich and complex subject. Music, cuisine, language ... Aymatth2 (talk) 00:18, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
