Grenada–Russia relations

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

hardly any coverage of actual bilateral relations, almost all multilateral. Pre 1990 relations can be covered in Grenada-Soviet relations. For those who love to scrape trivia into these bilateral articles, there's a Russian band called Grenada, I sincerely hope no editor thinks helps establish notability.

 * Delete and handle by the Foreign Relations of X convention. JJL (talk) 03:14, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I chuckled about the part of the article that says Grenada was a Soviet colony. However, it is very harmful to the encyclopedia to have such misinformation included, it really strikes a blow at our reliability and credibility.  The same is true for having an article like this on a topic which does not meet our standards for notability, it subtracts a couple of points from our respectability.  The topic fails WP:NOTE so should be deleted. Drawn Some (talk) 03:28, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Close, but not quite. There is no actual notability established. I'm also not sure that any dealings with the former Soviet Union really count since it is vastly different than the current (and pre-Soviet) Russia. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:06, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

 * It seems a little bit artificial to segregate Grenada-USSR and Grenada-Russia relations (the 1983 discontinuity in the Grenadian government is probably far more significant that the 1990 USSR/Russia discontinuity). Since it's the relationship between Maurice Bishop's government and the USSR that's notable, the article should really be there, but it would be worth adding a note at the end of that article (which could actually grow into something quite substantive) about any verifiable interactions between Grenada and Russia.  So I'd say weak merge, and redirect (regardless of whether anything is merged from the Grenada-Russia article).  Guettarda (talk) 23:52, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Grenada - Soviet Union relations. There's no reason that the re-establishment of dialogue with Moscow can't be referred to in that article.  Yes, I know, the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore, but since there exists an article that can be linked from the "Foreign relations of..." pages for Grenada and Russia, it's logical.

 * Delete No secondary sources discuss these relations. Fails WP:GNG. The facts mentioned belong in articles on the subject (Grenada). Is Grenada important to Russia? No – there are no relations. Johnuniq (talk) 08:38, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
