Bangladesh–Mauritius relations

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG, another non notable combination, based on 2 sources, one of which is a dead link. The 7 person Bangladesh delegation actually came for the Indian Ocean Rim Association meeting. The source even states bilateral talks on the sideline. I look forward to the rather lame keep reason of "Bangladesh is one of the most populous countries in the world" LibStar (talk) 15:26, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - should be kept according to general notability guidelines. There were official visits by Mauritian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister to Bangladesh and by Bangladeshi Foreign Minister to Mauritius. There is also a good number of Bangladeshis living in Mauritius. Economic and educational cooperation also exists. Nomian (talk) 18:33, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:GNG.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 10:18, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
 * see WP:VAGUEWAVE, simply pointing to a policy with zero explanation carries no weight. LibStar (talk) 11:50, 4 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep, again we see systematic bias, assuming that 3rd world/Global South states have no diplomatic agency. As shown by article, Bangladeshi migrants constitute a sizeable part of Mauritius population. Diplomatic links since 1972. --Soman (talk) 18:36, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable article. Mauritus has a South Asian majority, which makes it natural to have relations with Bangladesh.--Rainmaker23 (talk) 02:00, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * the South Asians that make the majority originate from India not Bangladesh. In fact I'm pretty sure they don't speak Bengali. LibStar (talk) 11:55, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * In that case, why would France have relations with the Pacific island of New Zealand? These relations have a history. Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, the first prime minister of Mauritus, was a close friend of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. This is according to the Mauritun Prime Minister.1 Mauritus is also an offshore financial centre. Interestingly, it signed a double taxation avoidance agreement with Bangladesh in 2009. 2--Rainmaker23 (talk) 17:39, 4 February 2015 (UTC)


 * comment I'm yet to hear the ludicrous argument "Bangladesh is one of the most populous nations on earth therefore any country it has relations with guarantees a Wikipedia article" LibStar (talk) 11:52, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
