 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus. While the article has been expanded and referenced since it was nominated, this does not render prior votes, which cited notability concerns, useless. However, it is fairly clear that there is no consensus for deletion. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Kosovan–Maldivian relations

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

simply recognising Kosovo has been done by many countries and covered in International recognition of Kosovo. I'm also not entirely sure this bribery incident is enough to make a stand alone article. it could be covered in Wikinews or Foreign relations of Maldives. there is very limited coverage besides this issue. .

 * Strong delete absolutely nothing and it doesn't meet the notability requirements. ApprenticeFan  talk  contribs 01:51, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and handle via Foreign Relations of X format. JJL (talk) 01:54, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Info, if notable, can be placed in a different article. - Masonpatriot (talk) 03:05, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - this article unlike all the others actually has content so please open it before voting. I don't see the point of this AfD when we agreed to merge the ones without significant content into the Foreign relations articles of respective entities and keep those that have content?--Avala (talk) 13:14, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:NOHARM. even if it has content, any article can be deleted if it does not meet WP:N.


 * Keep per Avala. And I think no other article can include this article's content. -- Turkish Flame   ☎  14:13, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:JUSTAVOTE, Avala's argument is quite unique...and suddenly it is endorsed without discussion of how the article meets WP:N. LibStar (talk) 14:57, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:JUSTAVOTE is applicable to neither of those arguments. Stop badgering keep !voters. Fences  &amp;  Windows  19:09, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * justavote was only intended for turkish flame not avala and for this original comment by turkish flame . LibStar (talk) 12:14, 26 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge to Foreign relations of the Maldives. Useful info that doesn't stand alone, but which shouldn't be deleted. Fences  &amp;  Windows  19:09, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The relationship seems to be non-notable. The bribery incident might be ok for a stand-alone. Niteshift36 (talk) 20:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - All international relations have some notability. This would, ordinarily, be one of the less notable ones, but the Pacolli bribery situation gives it more importance. Bazonka (talk) 12:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * no, not all these bilateral articles are automatically notable, at least 300 have been deleted. LibStar (talk) 12:27, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Every international agreement has a degree of notability. The question is whether they are notable enough to warrant inclusion in a WP:NOTPAPER encyclopedia. Perhaps an article that explains how the president of Such-and-Such banana republic once met the foreign minister of XYZ atoll in the lobby of the UN is not notable enough to be included. But any contentious international agreement that has caused political ructions is of sufficient notability. This is such a situaion. Bazonka (talk) 13:13, 26 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep: This article contain lots of encyclopaedic notable information on the matter. This so called "bribery" incident is notable. I have also added to the article that the Maldives supports Kosovo at the ICJ and that it sent a written statement to favour Kosovo's independence. This is also notable information. Ijanderson (talk) 08:46, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep This article might appear to be very obscure but as it is it is acceptable. I think as an encyclopedia we should give international relations between countries a fair approach. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 16:16, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

@ Admin reviewing this proposed AFD Please note and take into consideration that this article has been significantly updated since this AFD was originally proposed, regards Ijanderson (talk) 08:25, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The sources added by Ijanderson have shown sufficient notability under current policy.--Cdogsimmons (talk) 23:10, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
