Bhutan–Pakistan relations

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

fails WP:GNG. this article uses WP:SYNTH like "are relatively co-operative and friendly, although Bhutan shares exceptionally close ties with the Republic of India, with whom Pakistan has historically had difficult relations" and somehow is a trilateral relations article by mentioning "all three nations". level of trade is very low at 0.5USD million and there is no evidence of regular contact between the countries as claimed in the article.

Keep I've added quite a few sources, including a few detailed ones. One of the detailed ones is actually about India's reaction to Bhutan-Pakistan relations. I've also cleaned up the SYNTH in the lead. --99of9 (talk) 07:01, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Bhutan has formal diplomatic relations with a limited number of countries because of its special relationship with India. But Pakistan is one of those exceptional countries. Warden (talk) 09:53, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Whimsical deletion rationale, where the nom for example puts an arbitrary threshold for the level of trade and arbitrarily declares it "very low". Apart from that, the topic clearly meets WP:GNG as can be seen from the number of sources documenting Pakistan-Bhutan relationships in the article. Style/synth concerns can be addressed by editing. -- cyclopia  speak!  13:00, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
