Canada–Togo relations

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

This is a non-notable topic. The text is lifted from a Canadian government website: but omits the first sentence of the page which states, "Bilateral relations between Canada and Togo are limited." as well as other statements minimizing the relationship.

Confirming this assertion of non-notability by the Canadian government itself, I have been unable to find other, independent resources dealing with the subject of Canada-Togo relations. Therefore the article does not meet Wikipedia's standard for inclusion which requires significant in-depth coverage in independent reliable sources for the subject to be notable.

 * Delete one small paragraph and there dose not seem to be any real notability to the topic, i'm surprised i did not get tagged when it was first created.  Kyle  1278  00:56, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete As Drawn Some notes, the only link says "Bilateral relations between Canada and Togo are limited". The article has no useful content and expansion is unlikely. Fails WP:N. Johnuniq (talk) 03:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -- Klein zach  04:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete absurdly trivial and unsubstantial. Eusebeus (talk) 12:55, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not very notable, but relations between countries, however small, seems notable enough. There are plenty of other articles on countries separated by similar size and distance. --DMG413 (talk) 23:58, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Bilateral relations are not inherently notable. Like every other topic, it needs to have "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject," before it can be "presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article." Not seeing any such coverage in this case. Yilloslime T C  16:09, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete since no reliable sources discuss the mooted topic of this article in any depth.Bali ultimate (talk) 16:15, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is nothing notable about their limited relationship. Niteshift36 (talk) 09:57, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete another mindless combinatorial article (if x is notable and y is notable then the intersect of x and y isn't necessarily notable). This on is particularly absurd. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 23:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
