Belgian–Turkish relations

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

whilst both countries have embassies, distinct lack of coverage of actual bilateral relations, mainly multilateral or sport or even the bird Turkey. Looking at the first 60 results of this shows very little. but those who like to barrel scrape trivia to advance notability will find an article which says Turkey Is 24 Times the Size of Belgium and Has but Twice as Many Inhabitants and the two countries played a football match in Euro 2000.

 * Delete Article page doesn't meet the notability requirements. Keep meets notability requirements. Two countries are both historical relations in over 80 years since Turkey declared republic after Ottoman Empire ended. ApprenticeFan  talk  contribs 03:56, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Belgium and Turkey have a long diplomatic history. Belgium also has a large and growing Turkish population which binds, and in some cases stresses, relations between the two nations.  Good candidate for future expansion. Keep. Scanlan (talk) 14:54, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable. ChildofMidnight (talk) 16:44, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:ITSNOTABLE is an argument to avoid. LibStar (talk) 23:58, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - there are significant national relations between the two countries and enough reliable sources to meet WP:N. TerriersFan (talk) 01:16, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep sufficient sources for notability--as might be expected. I am a little puzzled at the nom, unless its under the assumption that the foreign relations of small countries are not notable. DGG (talk) 03:20, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * no, it's not small nations, it's close to no coverage. LibStar (talk) 03:53, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
