Embassy of Ethiopia, Ottawa

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

fails WP:ORG. embassies are not inherently notable. I originally prodded this article and it went 7 days unchallenged. it was deleted, and then the admin decided to restore this with the rationale that there exists other embassies within a template. I questioned this and others have been deleted to. the discussion with the admin is here, however they have not responded to my questions to explain how the rationale to restore a deleted article is flawed. so now I'm at AfD LibStar (talk) 06:31, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Embassies can certainly qualify for Wikipedia articles if they can be well-sourced over WP:GNG and/or WP:ORG — but they don't get an automatic entitlement to keep a poorly sourced or unsourced article just because they exist. Redirect to Canada–Ethiopia relations, a logical place for a topic of this type to be discussed if it hasn't earned a standalone article of its own. Bearcat (talk) 00:01, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge to Canada–Ethiopia relations. I looked for reliable sources that discuss the significance of the Ethiopian embassy in Ottowa, but the only source I found was this CBC article that includes a one-sentence mention of the embassy's staff. Because there are no reliable sources that substantiate this subject's significance, I don't think it passes WP:GNG, so I think merging this article is the best course of action. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 00:48, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
