Ireland–Kenya relations

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

Another X-Y country relations article that probably fails WP:N.  tempo di valse  [☎]  03:04, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability in the form of strategic interests, shared history and the like to this relationship. True, Ireland does give tens of millions of euros to Kenyan NGOs and relief programmes, but rich countries giving to poor ones is hardly unusual, and isn't really something a viable article can be constructed out of. It's much more useful to mention this in a Foreign aid to Kenya article, especially as that's the only place they seem to intersect. - Biruitorul Talk 03:29, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, a relationship which is only notable in terms of aid. People searching for this title are looking in the wrong place. JustOneMoreQuestion (talk) 08:35, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, visits from foreign ministers are routine and highly staged events. JustOneMoreQuestion (talk) 08:39, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * and discussion of the Irish in Kenya probably belongs somewhere else too. JustOneMoreQuestion (talk) 08:44, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia is not for miscellaneous information consisting of juxtapositions of countries noting whether they have diplomatic relations. Fails notability as well.Edison (talk) 15:51, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Once again, a randomly created article that does nothing to assert notability in world affairs, and is not likely to be able to. -- BlueSquadron Raven  15:53, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The List of sovereign states shows there are 203, therefore (203*202)/2 (=20503) potential articles with the title "X–Y relations", counting "Y-X relations" with it. It looks like User:Plumoyr is going around, like Johnny Appleseed creating as many as possible, as stubs, in the hope others will add onto them. I'm not opposed to this activity, as those subjects are unlikely to be examined, in detail, in most articles on individual countries. Disc space is cheap. Human time and effort are not. -65.246.126.130 (talk) 20:34, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:NOHARM for why this is invalid. - Biruitorul Talk 15:51, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The first two of the basic tenets (verifiability, notability, and reliable sources) are guaranteed by the subject, leaving the last to be checked for any details added. -MBHiii (talk) 17:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * This is a Mbhiii sockpuppet. Uncle G (talk) 16:11, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * ...not if shared or not used to circumvent policy. Do you see both (or either) here? -MBHiii (talk) 17:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete no reliable independent sources discuss this alleged relationship.Bali ultimate (talk) 14:55, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Reliable sources are available to verify this relationship, which has a significant enough impact especially in Kenya to surely merit an article. FeydHuxtable (talk) 13:28, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
