Colombia–Romania relations

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

I hope no one minds my bundling these three pages on "relations" between Romania and three South American countries; they share a lack of notability. Here we find some friendly words spoken by the Romanian President, but one visiting parliamentary delegation is hardly enough to constitute a notable relationship. Besides that, I could find nothing on any of these, in Romanian, Spanish or English. The pairings are random, and the one salient fact - the presence of embassies - is noted at Diplomatic missions of Romania, of Colombia, and so on. And by the way, tellingly, the respective embassies' pages have zero to say about bilateral relations: if not even those pages will cover the topic, why should we?

I am also nominating the following related pages:


 * Comment Note to self - tried to find something worse on Wikipedia then deletionists (except the random trolls, hypocrites etc), guess I found something that tops it - anti-national deletionists. Don't mind me, had to get that off my chest, carry on. --Anime Addict AA (talk) 16:28, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * How is applying WP:N "anti-national"? If you're of the "Wikipedia should have as much as possible about Romania, whether notable or not" school, well, then I don't share that mindset. - Biruitorul Talk 16:51, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It's more like if something was written about Romania, in which someone put some time and effort into creating, for another Romanian to AfD it is not the most moral action, WP:N or not. --Anime Addict AA (talk) 00:25, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * a) You may not have known this, but these were mass-produced by a banned user who likely spent no more than a few moments on each one. b) Again, I don't buy that we should set aside encyclopedia policies out of patriotism. Just as these fail the notability test, so do Toma George Maiorescu, Victor Marius Beliciu, Bogdan Bacanu, George Draga, Andras Chiriliuc, Doru Popovici and many others -- and I will surely put them through AfD soon enough, no matter how many hours good Romanians spent writing them, because they're not notable, verifiable, or based on reliable sources. And I say that as a patriotic Romanian who sees no conflict between duty to his country and duty to uphold the policies of this encyclopedia. - Biruitorul Talk 04:45, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment: I agree, I find it funny that 'country x' vs. 'country y' articles can be non-notable however an article about a 30 second television ad by Microsoft is notable? (Mojave Experiment). I think that just the Spanish/Cuban wiki community did some months ago I think the time is right to form a splinter off Caribbean-wiki elsewhere. Clear across the board standards  need to be decided for the foreign relations articles. CaribDigita (talk) 20:13, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * a) That's the WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS argument; b) funny or not, numerous discussions have established that bilateral relations are not inherently notable, and that articles on them must still satisfy the normal requirements of WP:V, WP:RS, WP:N, and so on. - Biruitorul Talk 20:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
