Libya–Serbia relations

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

whilst the 2 countries have embassies in each other, surely any notable material can be covered in Foreign relations of Libya and Foreign relations of Serbia. LibStar (talk) 04:31, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete It's nothing more than a stub of information which is probably already covered in the countries "Foreign relations" article. Afkatk (talk) 04:35, 16 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep until there is a chance to properly look for sources. Some of these pairs have turned out to be notable. yes, they shouldn't have been created as stubs, but then they shouldn't have been nominated without searching DGG (talk) 05:50, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - embassies covered at "Diplomatic missions of..." articles; nothing else to indicate notability. True, 10,000 Yugoslavs worked in Libya in the 1970s (more than in all non-European countries combined), and Tito had good relations with fellow Non-Aligned Movement member Qaddafi; and Libya did make supportive gestures during the various Yugoslav wars. I just don't know if there are enough substantive sources to make something of this. - Biruitorul Talk 05:54, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep These two countries are geographically close, on the Mediterranean. And Wiki editors should not be pressured to add pertinent material by deletion motions of non-controversial articles. --Mr Accountable (talk) 16:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Check again: now landlocked. And please, do provide some sources if you'd like to see this kept. - Biruitorul Talk 16:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, notability is easy to establish in the usual way: Libya, Serbia sign cooperation agreement. Libya, Serbia-Montenegro sign political consultation memorandum. LIBYA AND SERBIA QADDAFI AND MILOSEVIC CUT A DEAL Libyan leader, Yugoslav deputy premier discuss Kosovo crisis TheWilyFox (talk) 22:16, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - a little surprised myself that the relation is notable, but a cursory examination of the relevent sources reveals that this article meets and exceeds the standard of WP:N, I see no reason to call for a highly irregular outcome in this case, it does not strike me as a very unusual case. See  - Muslim country supporting Serbia on Kosovo, sneaking arms past UN sanctions - yeah, a pretty big deal. Wily D  17:39, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
