Aruba–United States relations
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

There have been several discussions which have concluded that foreign relations of entities that do not have a foreign policy are not notable. See e.g. Articles for deletion/Foreign relations of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (after which Foreign relations of Aruba was deleted) and Articles for deletion/Netherlands Antilles–United States relations which concluded with a redirect to Netherlands–United States relations. The current page is extremely poor and unmaintained although it does mention that foreign affairs are conducted through the Dutch government. Its only reference is an archived page which also states that US consular activity in the Dutch Caribbean is actually conducted from Curaçao, not Aruba, and the page about that was already deleted after AfD.
