India–Moldova relations

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

fails WP:GNG. the relations are extremely minor in nature. no embassies, no agreements, no state visits, no significant migration. looking at the 2007 stats quoted, trade with Moldova made up 0.008% of India's total international trade. that is, if Moldova stopped trading, no one in India would notice. Some of the cited sources are of questionable reliability like, and some sort of social networking site. LibStar (talk) 03:03, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. This and other bilateral relations articles serve purpose of covering extent of bilateral relations.  Here, the article documents that there is not a whole lot of relations, which is fine.  I think perhaps wp:INHERENT governs.  This is where stuff about any embassies is to be provided, in this case "Neither country has a resident ambassador. India has a non resident ambassador in Bucharest." -- do  ncr  am  04:45, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * there is no inherent notability of bilateral relations, in fact 100s have been deleted. and you've curiously turned up at the same AfDs I nominate, I've never seen you at a bilateral AfD before, and I doubt you found this because you follow deletion sorting for Moldova or India. bilateral articles do not exist for simply listing embassies.

 * well, this wasn't listed as a bilateral article, so doesn't explain how you "found" it... nor do you participate regularly in Moldova or India AfDs. LibStar (talk) 05:49, 12 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep Whilst it doesn't cover a "whole lot" of relations, that doesn't mean it isn't an important page in itself. Not every oage needs to be chock full of data to be notable. the absence of data in cases like this is actually information in itself. PLus there is some valuable information contained in the articleEgaoblai (talk) 09:42, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * the sourcing is poor and fails WP:GNG. we don't keep articles because WP:ITSUSEFUL. LibStar (talk) 09:44, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * can you show me even 5 sources that discuss these bilateral relations in depth. I bet you can't. LibStar (talk) 04:26, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not seeing any mention of this topic in reliable 3rd party sources that are independent of the subject, therefore this is non-notable. Must delete. Yilloslime T C  19:07, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment/Delete: Not seeing evidence this meets WP:GNG.  LibStar may be hawkish on these articles but they have been in the bilateral AfD wars for many many years, indeed I probably haven't commented on a bilateral relations AfD in years, but LibStar was there I am sure.  Kind of like the Richard character in LOST, he will be here in 200 years, I expect. ("Delete! The Venus colony and Malta don't have any embassies or diplomats!")  And we don't keep articles on every relation though that arguably might be easier, the standard is that each one has to be shown to be notable.
 * And since this article will probably be deleted, I just have to quote some of the well-meaning text here out of pure enjoyment: "Both countries have been found supporting each other at many international platforms like the United Nations through reciprocal support mechanism." I don't know what that means, but it sounds nice, like people holding open the door for each other at stores, here the international store of travel and commerce.  Also: "There is a likeliness towards Indian dances in Moldovan community and some of the local groups also promote India's culture there."  I wonder how many Indian restaurants there are in Moldova, by the way.  "Some Moldovan visit India owing to their keen interest in yoga and spiritualism."  Tourism is nice, and very good for world peace, but not so much for WP:GNG, I suppose. I also have no clue what this link  has to do with relations between India and Moldova other than perhaps "these two countries were mentioned on the SAME BLOGPOST once in 2013."  Have a good Friday everyone.--Milowent • hasspoken  18:04, 15 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - it's fairly likely that Indian diplomats can find Moldova on a map, and vice versa, but relations do not appear to extend much beyond that. - Biruitorul Talk 04:30, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable & per above arguments. - Mfarazbaig (talk) 05:33, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
