Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Democratic Republic of the Congo–Kosovo relations


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus at this time. "Delete" votes argue that this article is barely expandable at present, while the most popular "keep" argument is one of concern over how overcrowded articles like International recognition of Kosovo would become if these articles were merged. Both stances are reasonable and neither gained consensus, so we will just have to let this unfold for a while. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 12:50, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Democratic Republic of the Congo–Kosovo relations

 * – ( View AfD View log )

According to the article itself, there are no relations of any kind between Congo and Kosovo.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:22, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep The content is notable; part of it comes from the International recognition of Kosovo article, which currently is too long to hold all of this information. Worst case scenario, the article can be moved to Democratic Republic of the Congo's reaction to the Kosovo declaration of independence. --NoonIcarus (talk) 22:28, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * On balance, Keep. This is a difficult one, as it's politically charged, but I think there's too much here for the content to naturally fit into International recognition of Kosovo. In particular, Kabila's comments are notable as being well beyond what would be regarded as normal diplomatic language. RomanSpa (talk) 23:55, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is no substance here. The entirety of this article is devoted to the fact that the DRC does not recognize Kosovo, something which could be said in a sentence or less at International recognition of Kosovo. Sources here include a post on Wikileaks (not RS) and a few scattered news articles from Balkan outlets (showing that there is hardly any interest on this subject in the Congo). My WP:BEFORE has turned up nothing new. -Indy beetle (talk) 22:37, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete.I agree with Indy beetle - this is a single line or two news item - there's not content here for a full article. This could be just a line in a related appropriate article. Deathlibrarian (talk) 06:15, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, there is enough content here to justify a separate article.Jackattack1597 (talk) 11:53, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep per above comments. Sufficient content and context to justify an article. Waddles 🗩 🖉 20:00, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per Indy beetle's and Deathlibrarian's comments. --Vacant0 (talk) 22:58, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree that the article is basically "there is no recognition". I think the pertinent references would be adequate to reference a single sentence in International recognition of Kosovo and Foreign relations of the Democratic Republic of the Congo as well.
