Chile–Malaysia relations

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Apparently non-notable bilateral relation of two arbitrary countries; there is nothing but trade information (everyone buys Malaysian products) and a NEWS-like description of a visit to Chile by the King of Malaysia. הסרפד (call me “Hasirpad”) (formerly R——bo) 04:43, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per Dede2008 98.80.31.136 (talk) 01:27, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Dede2008 didn't really give a reason to keep; do you have any? הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) (formerly R——bo) 02:04, 13 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - like all the other ones that should never have been created. Unless there is something specifically notable about the relationship, an X-X relations article should not be created. Stalwart 111  02:10, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep International relations are notable. There are plenty of official interactions between two countries to cover, ranging from one country reacting to events in another to two countries going to war. It's not "exciting" to read about, but it's politics. It's not valid to say the whole range of pages shouldn't exist when there are an abundance of studies and reliable sources covering interactions between countries. — Ed! (talk) 03:36, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Ed: Do you really think that all forms of international relations are notable? As another user pointed out at one of many similar ongoing discussions, there are tens of thousands of such "combination" bilateral-relations articles conceivable. הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) (formerly R——bo) 03:41, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * And to be clear - I'm not suggesting that all such articles be mass-deleted or arbitrarily deleted. Only that a good many such articles were created, some based on one document, one visit or the mutual endorsement (along with dozens of other countries) of some obscure non-notable treaty or multi-lateral agreement. There are some (like Canada–United States relations for example) that obviously would never be nominated for deletion and I think we should tackle these individually. But I don't think this one should be in the keep category. Stalwart 111  04:36, 13 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete There are insufficient secondary sources to establish notability for this bilateral relationship. PianoDan (talk) 04:53, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete a one off high level meeting does not make a bilateral article. fails WP:GNG. LibStar (talk) 00:20, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep I've read a few of Northamerica1000's sources, and they satisfy GNG IMO. --99of9 (talk) 01:02, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per Northamerica1000's sources. They are reliable coverage, and that works for me. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:26, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
