Laos-Romania relations

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

Fails WP:N. Prior discussions (such as Articles for deletion/Canada–Moldova relations, Articles for deletion/Peru–Romania relations, Articles for deletion/Bilateral relations of Ireland) have determined that mere existence of diplomatic relations does not equate notability. The two don't even have embassies, and no sources turned up in a search I did, so deletion seems the best option. (Granted, the two were both Communist in the 1975-89 period, and Romania valued her relations with East Asian Communist regimes, but the burden of proof is on others to provide sources showing there was something to this relationship, and that has not happened, nor is it likely to.)

 * Delete - agreed, non-notable relations.  Jd 027  (talk) 02:30, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. There do not appear to be any notable relations between the countries; at least none that are cited in the article. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 04:00, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Fails general notability requirements. Yilloslime T C  06:41, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as per precedents - random and non-notable topic. Dahn (talk) 11:19, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Mere existence of diplomatic relations are not enough for an article. It basically states the obvious by rewording the title which is speediable. Also, when someone has to go to another country to visit an embassy for the so-called related country, the relations are clearly not important enough. - Mgm|(talk) 12:32, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Laos doesn't have an embassy in Romania, and Romania doesn't have an embassy in Laos?  At least the flags are pretty.  Do you suppose that someone could just do a list of where Romania has embassies, and where Laos has embassies, without writing articles like this?  Mandsford (talk) 12:56, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * We certainly have those lists: Diplomatic missions of Laos; Diplomatic missions of Romania. - Biruitorul Talk 14:32, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
