Bahrain–Greece relations

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

another random combination, non resident embassies. google news search turns up next to nothing except one minor tourism agreement. otherwise they've competed in football competitions. not really rescuable. LibStar (talk) 06:01, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Nothing to see here, move along. No notability. One of the 37,000+ poteential bilateral relations articles the subject of which is not notable in any way. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 06:05, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment In looking at the infoboxes that adorn these and other articles, it seems some notability guidelines should be spelled out (if they haven't been already), because there's a LOT of seemingly random matching of two nations that's been done, but a lot that hasn't yet. Lot of redlinks. Nosleep  break my slumber 06:08, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * almost all of these articles were created by now banned user without applying WP:BEFORE. I agree that many that were created seem very random. LibStar (talk) 06:10, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Mmm, it seems this is a bigger issue than I first realized. Nosleep  break my slumber 06:15, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. It's a shame, the notable and worthy articles among this lot have been completely overshadowed by these steaming piles of crap (excuse my frustration) passing themselves off as "articles". OK, they have formal relations, but so do just about every pair of countries on Earth- a point the creator seems keen to make. They don't have resident embassies and there's no evidence of any significant agreements here. Also, "both countries established relations"- it would be rather odd if one established relations and t'other didn't! HJMitchell    You rang?  10:54, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with HJ-- some of these do have merit, and most are random creations by an editor who cranked out one article after another. I feel the same way about people who post the exact same comment on each discussion-- we've seen "keep them all until a committee meeting is over", "delete them all", "merge a bunch of them into another article".  There are others, like HJ, Birutorul, Wily, LibStar, etc., who take the time to weigh the merits of each individual article, and others who take the time to consider the arguments in favor or against an article.  In this case, a Google search didn't turn up much -- there was | mention of a "transport agreement", and even that was buried inside a press release from the Bahrain News Agency.

 * Delete - as far as I can tell, no independent, in-depth coverage has been given to this topic, which thus fails WP:N. - Biruitorul Talk 16:42, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No third-party coverage of the article topic itself. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  19:53, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Foreign relations of Greece, which now holds this content. But please hang on until the content has also been added to Foreign relations of Bahrain. Aymatth2 (talk) 07:15, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
