India–Mali relations

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

fails WP:GNG. Mali is a relatively small West African nation with very little to do with Asia. Most of its foreign relations are with Africa and Europe. I see no notable relations, no significant coverage in third party sources not government websites. Those wanting to keep MUST show evidence of third party significant coverage. Bilateral articles are not inherently notable LibStar (talk) 15:01, 14 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep The President of Mali made a state visit to India earlier this year and got the full red carpet treatment, detailed discussions with the PM, &c. Sources such as The Economic Times say stuff like "India's relations with Mali have been steadily growing in the past decade." and so demonstrate that the nomination's claim that "Mali is a relatively small West African nation with very little to do with Asia" is quite false.  And now that there has been a coup in Mali, India is concerned that those trade deals and its nationals are at risk, "India will monitor the developing sitation in Mali".

 * yes all countries "monitor situations" like North Korea, I fail to see concrete actions more than watching media reports. LibStar (talk) 17:17, 14 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep per Colonel Warden and more sources like Mali coup dashes Indian business man Sandeep Garg's mining hopes which demonstrates quickly growing economic relations.--TM 17:16, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
