Algeria–Israel relations

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Very shortn unreferenced,  and of dubious encyclopedic vlaue. delete or merge either to Algeria or Israel related articles. Hard to find suitable RS, and maybe original  research  or opinion. Kudpung (talk) 06:31, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't intend to !vote yet in case multiple reliable sources are found. so far I've found coverage on hostages and the usual "don't support Israel" stance. which is the norm for Islamic countries. yet to find actual evidence of a meaningful relationship or enough diplomatic conflicts.

 * Merge to Foreign relations of Algeria, or Foreign relations of Israel, or both. There doesn't seem to be much there right now. Ray  Talk 18:21, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. I was initially unsure, but further research indicates notability: consider that Israel's media and actions play a part in Algerian internal politics, that tens of thousands of Algerians have immigrated to Israel, this journal article "Algeria and the June 1967 Arab-Israeli war", Israel and Algeria amid French Colonialism and the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 1954-1978.--TM 19:41, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Just a minute or so with Google Scholar unearthed the sources found by TM and this one. This topic has clearly been subject to academic study, so is acceptable for an encyclopedia article. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:16, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice to reinstating. The subject is notable, like any international relations, but the article is a month old and consists of a couple of sentences. Hence, it's not worth reading and WP:DEMOLISH doesn't apply. Jalapenos do exist (talk) 23:26, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, even though it isn't worth reading at the moment. Can I suggest that one of those who found good sources write a few sourced sentences to make it non-embarrassing as a stub?  Then whack a stub tag on it and let nature takes its course. Zerotalk 07:10, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I thought we settled this long ago, that significant countries in the same area would always have sources for the notability of the international relations--as the event proves. Given the world as it is, it can most certainly be assumed for Israel vis-à-vis any Islamic country.    DGG ( talk ) 04:41, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
