Embassy of Benin in Ottawa

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

fails WP:ORG. LibStar (talk) 04:05, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Actually would like to nominate all articles in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Diplomatic_missions_in_Ottawa. vast majority of these fail WP:ORG and WP:NOTDIR. surely this is already covered in List of diplomatic missions in Ottawa. LibStar (talk) 04:07, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I might support the deletion of all that, but the overlap between the list and category is not a good reason for deletion of either. Gigs (talk) 05:22, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * the articles do not satisfy WP:ORG individually. LibStar (talk) 05:25, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Should we be applying WP:ORG to an embassy? Gigs (talk) 21:59, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * We could apply WP:GNG and it would still fail. I've only found one case when the embassy was actually is an architectually notable building. LibStar (talk) 23:47, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  19:22, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete with the caveat that I want to see each embassy reviewed separately on its own merits in separate AfDs. Gigs (talk) 00:59, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of diplomatic missions in Ottawa. There is no need to create redlinks, and by keeping it as a redirect, it is allowing us to link to relevant content. --Russavia Dialogue 08:04, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment My redirect comment is only in relation to Embassy of Benin in Ottawa, unless some evidence of it being on a heritage register or the like can be found. In relation to all articles in the category, they need to be kept in their entireity, e.g. Embassy of Russia in Ottawa is actually quite notable. --Russavia Dialogue 11:53, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I am retracting bulk nomination. but I will try to go through those individually, and if some clearly do not meet WP:N they should be redirected. Of course if they have anything notable even not through wide coverage, they will be retained on an individual basis. LibStar (talk) 11:57, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I would say that the fact that such a comparatively small, remote, and poor country as Benin supposedly has not just an embassy, but also 4 "satellite consulate offices" in Canada is highly remarkable. I wonder if those consulate are merely "honorary" ones in reality... If the original author were to address that fact and explain the story behind it (an inordinate amount of Beninese immigrants to Canada?) I think it would be worth to keep the article.

 * Keep as an entry similar to townships. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 01:20, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
