International reaction to the 2009 Honduran coup d'état

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability of the International reactions to this relativley minor event is questionable at best. Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) may the force be with you 21:21, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to main article. Considering the content of this article, which comprises mainly communist countries saying that participants to go to prison and republics saying otherwise, this fails WP:GNG. If this was violent, that's another matter. epic genius (talk) 21:53, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment. I previously wrote an essay at Reactions to... articles aka WP:REACTIONS that describes some of the issues with these "International reactions" articles and lists some of the previous outcomes of debates around them. It is not intended as a guideline, but more a reflection of how editors have dealt with such articles before. That said, editors may be interested in extending the essay or working it into a guideline - perhaps a supplement to WP:EVENT. Fences  &amp;  Windows  00:52, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Comparing it to another recent 'coup', it seems more controversial and therefore deserving of more information, which is better contained in a separate article. 2601:600:8500:5B1:D41B:E837:1128:2F01 (talk) 16:21, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a similar sort of article to International recognition of Kosovo or other countries, as it details the formal diplomatic position of different countries, and that I'd say is certainly encyclopedic. (I can't help but wonder whether this article is out of date, though; it lists everyone's reactions in 2009 but doesn't seem to follow through to reaction to future events. Probably needs a bit of work to improve). Aspirex (talk) 04:58, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Responses to a historically notable and encyclopaedic incident. AusLondonder (talk) 05:14, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a list-type article, and as such, will probably never be among the best articles on Wikipedia. However, the event was unquestionably notable enough that even the diplomatic waves it produced were themselves notable. As long as everything in this article is well-sourced, it's a keeper.
