German Trade Office Taipei

Unsourced OR by an intern at the organisation. While it stops short of G11 it lacks NPOV. Bazj (talk) 10:33, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

 * To be clear, because of Taiwan's relationship with China, Germany is prevented from officially recognising Taiwan and so both countries maintain "trade offices" in place of embassies. These trade offices are, effectively, embassies and the directors of said offices have (in most cases) the full diplomatic rank of ambassador. That said, embassies are not inherently notable, nor are analogous trade offices. The question would be whether there are enough sources relating to the trade office's activities to justify a pass against WP:GNG. I wasn't able enough significant coverage to make it so, but then I don't speak Mandarin or German. I'm probably at delete at the moment, on that basis.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 02:54, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: except for the blurb about their birthday party, all sources in the article are primary. The German wiki article has no secondary sources either.  Press I can find in RS amounts to brief mentions.  Vrac (talk) 01:39, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
