Bangladesh–Senegal relations

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:GNG. The article is mainly based on 3 references from the same source in March 2012. No evidence of ongoing notable relations like significant trade, migration, agreements or state visits. LibStar (talk) 01:13, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bilateral relations, Senegal,  and Bangladesh. - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (work / talk) 02:13, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Due to lack of ongoing coverage making this a standalone subject (such as for example the Russo-Ukrainian war, sorry for bringing this up), this specific article fails the core principle of WP:NOTDATABASE. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MitYehor (talk • contribs) 21:42, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with above that there is no evidence of SIGCOV. Yilloslime (talk) 16:31, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * keep clearly the relationship between two sovereign countries is relevant - article needs cleanup but not deletion. Being the first country to recognize independence needs sourcing but is relevant. --hroest 21:11, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * "clearly the relationship between two sovereign countries is relevant" is not a criteria for notability. Bilateral relations are not inherently notable. 100s have been deleted. LibStar (talk) 22:51, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Senegal was not the first country to recognize the independence of Bangladesh. It was the 18th or 19th, depending on whether sources rank Tonga before it or after it. --Worldbruce (talk) 22:52, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Sources used to demonstrate notability should be secondary sources. They also should be independent, not press releases. The four cited sources are primary source press releases published by Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS), a news agency run by the government of Bangladesh. Searches of academic works (independent secondary sources) about the foreign relations of Bangladesh, specifically Wright 1988, Ahmad 1989, Kabir 1989, Rashid 2001, Tajuddin 2001, and Baxter 2005, result in only two hits for Senegal, in two footnotes, each of which lists several countries. Relations exist, but no reliable, independent, secondary sources have written about them in any depth. Consequently, WP:GNG tells us Wikipedia should not have a stand-alone article on that subject. Any relations "relevant" to the encyclopedia can be covered briefly in Foreign relations of Senegal or Foreign relations of Bangladesh. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:05, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. A prime case of WP:NOTDATABASE, in addition to failing WP:GNG and the lack of WP:SIGCOV. Shawn Teller (talk) 01:43, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
