The result was   no consensus. Also, France is not Nauru, and there is the possibility for expansion here. Black Kite 18:31, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Despite the precedent of the Nauru article, wouldn't it be better to redirect this to International reaction to the 2008 declaration of independence by Kosovo? There's no question that this is a real topic, and (on the odd chance that something more significant happened between these states) it could potentially be expanded into a decent article, so I don't think it helpful to delete the article entirely.

 * Keep. No legitimate basis for deletion is given. Article establishes notability. (Please provide a little more than a link to an afd of a deleted article next time.) -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 03:34, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article explains why France–Kosovo relations are far more important than Kosovo–Nauru relations. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:48, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * In the article we learn that France has an embassy in Kosovo and Kosovo in France. That's all. A new section came today, if someone cleans POV expressions like "Learning a lesson from the impossibility of reaching a negotiated solution, France recognized Kosovo's independence" maybe the article establishes notability. -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:05, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * We learn from the article that France was one of the first countries to recognise Kosovo's independence, and we know from general knowledge that France has far more diplomatic clout than Nauru. This makes the comparison in the nomination frankly ridiculous. Any concerns about the precise wording of the article are matters for editing, not deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:51, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * After the addition of the section probably yes. When I nominated it was only the first paragraph. -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:54, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That information was in that paragraph. When you're in a hole, stop digging. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:01, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The information about both the recognition and the embassies is duplicated. Already exists in International reaction to the 2008 declaration of independence by Kosovo. Check the table. -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:13, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, one of a long list of arbitrary X-Y relations articles created for no apparent reason. Stifle (talk) 08:36, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
