Gagauzia–Turkey relations

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Relations articles between sovereign states and subnational regions are somewhat uncommon, but could be viable, given good references. This, however, seems like a WP:COATRACK WP:POV article for grievances about Moldovan policy towards Gagauzia, where the actual substance on relations with Turkey is razor thin.

 * Err, to be fair, unlike most of the Turkey—*Random African country* relations I'm seeing at AfD these days, the two sides are actually pretty close to each other, literally and figuratively. The two leaders, especially the Gagauz one, regulary speak positively about the other side, a Turkish search reveals:, , , , , . There is this journal article on economic relations of Turkey—Moldova, which also covers Gagauzia. The Turkish WP article has some other sources as well. Someone who has the time could likely be able to improve the article. Styyx (talk) 12:10, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per my sources above and lack of any refutal. Styyx (talk) 09:29, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with all that, especially that Gagauzia and Turkey have a lot more reason to have relations than many of the Random 1 - Random 2 relation articles proposed for deletion, most of which are worthless. I'm not sure about keep, however: the information should certainly be kept, but better as a section of the Gagauzia article. So I'm tending more to Merge.  Athel cb (talk) 12:08, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge (at best) into Foreign relations of Gagauzia and Foreign relations of Turkey. There is nothing uniquely notable about the intersection of the two. If a merge is not viable, I could easily be convinced by deletionist arguments. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 16:19, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
