Japan–Seychelles relations

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

non resident embassies, and a lack of coverage of actual bilateral relations, mainly in multilateral context especially in whaling. Whilst Japan (amongst other countries) is a aid donor to the Seychelles, this can easily be covered in 1 or 2 sentences in Foreign relations of Seychelles. only article I found was this which doesn't make an article.

 * Delete No reliable sources adress these non-notable relations in any depth. Hipocrite (talk) 16:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep I've added some sources. Japan is a major trade partner with Seychelles (purchasing 8.3% of Seychelles' exports). The countries also have historic agreement and disagreements based on whaling. The page deserves further development. I doubt anyone from Seychelles would think that these relations were "non-notable".--Cdogsimmons (talk) 04:21, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment The creator of this article, User:Russian Luxembourger was never notified of the this Afd by the nominating editor User:LibStar as is strongly suggested at Guide_to_deletion.--Cdogsimmons (talk) 17:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Nevertheless, the creator was notified at 01:13, 27 May 2009. Johnuniq (talk) 05:03, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete The article is a directory listing of arbitrary events linking the two countries. There are no sources indicating any notability in the relations. Naturally each country wants to cooperate with as many other countries as possible – it's not notable. Johnuniq (talk) 05:03, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep If there are major trade relationships, then that is notability. The article topic is about all sorts of international relations, not just narrowly diplomatic. DGG (talk) 01:01, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable and verifiable. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 06:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm not, I'm pointing it out as an argument to avoid not as any policy. LibStar (talk) 06:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - yeah, there's a lot of Japanese cash floating around the Seychelles (like that's unusual). Does that mean anyone has actually bothered to write about "Japan–Seychelles relations", rather than what a handful of Wikipedians think that is? Of course not. - Biruitorul Talk 01:52, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete An unremarkable chronicle of handhsaking that doesn't stir much waves in terms of the topics importance in world affairs. Non-notable. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  05:07, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete where are the reliable independent sources that discuss this relationship in some sort of depth that might establish it as a notable one? Fails GNG. Bali ultimate (talk) 05:20, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Synthesis of utterly non-notable and random events, with no encyclopedic purpose whatsoever. And, among the many questionable "bilateral relations" articles, this one takes the cake so far in terms of ridiculousness. Dahn (talk) 11:00, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect/merge to Foreign relations of Seychelles The article seems to be a summary of the last two years of this relationship, which does not make it worthy of an article. The content could be useful, though, if added to the short Foreign relations of Seychelles. 2help (talk) 18:54, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
