Bhutanese passport

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A bhutanese passport is a passport issued by the Bhutanese government. And, er, that's about it. Guy (Help!) 22:43, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

There is no valid reason to delete this page. The United States passport, the Canadian passport, the Pakistani passport, etc. all have their own page. I can see no valid reason to punish the great nation of Bhutan by deleting their passport page. Et0048 (talk) 22:52, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, there is. WP:NOT a dictionary. This article does not state anything beyond the obvious, almost a speedy deletion candidate in fact. Guy (Help!) 22:57, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * There are currently 223 national passport articles on Wikipedia. Should we nominate all of them for deletion? It makes no sense to remove one passport article but then decide that the other 222 are okay. Et0048 (talk) 23:18, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

 * The article features far more than what's obvious. It includes information about feudal passports, the organization that administers passports, languages and more. Even if it is a short article, there are many articles for the passports of other nations. Wqwt (talk) 23:26, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

This article has interesting historical information as well as practical current information. It would be a shame if it were deleted only because it got attention for the audio recording by a person with an unusual accent. Archedeyebrow (talk) 23:42, 19 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep – Nominations to delete passport articles have met with a poor reception in the past. See Articles for deletion/Mongolian passport. This one seems to meet most of the criteria in Talk:Passport/Archive 3 and Talk:Passport/Archive 3 – it has a picture, history, types, issuing authority, etc. – Margin1522 (talk) 00:23, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep It contains information about ordinary and official passports which could prove useful, and could be greatly expanded upon. Ljgua124 (talk) 01:10, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - It appears customary to have articles on different passports. Article is short, but there's room for expansion (as mentioned above, coverage of history, types, security features, etc.). ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 01:26, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete I checked and this is part of an elaborate hoax. There is no such country as Bhutan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.209.252.6 (talk) 14:39, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - as per above TheMesquito  buzz  02:25, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Insufficient reason for deletion. --Ifrit (Talk) 02:41, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Why would we delete it? If it needs to be longer, expand it  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baiter (talk • contribs) 03:18, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - The entry describes specific characteristics of this topic. It is useful as it stands, and can be improved with additional information. 2601:0:7280:28D:559:45F8:B196:CD5E (talk) 05:24, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - It could have more content added to it, but I cannot think of a single reason that it should be deleted. Fench 06:14, 20 March 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fench (talk • contribs)
 * Keep No rationale provided. Based on the nom's logic, we say goodbye to 90% of the entries in Category:Passports by country.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 07:59, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment And the nom is an Admin on WP?! WTF.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 08:06, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep - One would hate to think that this request to delete the article is an end run around the multiple Keep decisions about the "embarrassing" spoken-word version of the article. The article seems valid within the rules for passport articles.  It should stay. -- Robster2001 (talk) 10:20, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - This isn't even close to WP:NOT a dictionary. The article details information on the different types of passport issued, for example (regular, official, and diplomatic). Pop over to any dictionary, and I'll doubt you'll find this info under the entries for "Bhutan" or "passport." In fact, if tautological and redundant information is enough to get a "speedy delete", by that logic, forget just deleting all passport articles; speedy delete the article on the Pacific ocean (the Pacific Ocean is the largest of the Earth's oceanic divisions) and Jet aircraft (A jet aircraft (or simply jet) is an aircraft (nearly always a fixed-wing aircraft) propelled by jet engines.)
