List of Australian Ambassadors to Norway

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

fails WP:GNG. Australia has never had a resident ambassador to Norway. Article contains mostly primary sources. The few third party sources like Canberra Times merely contain routine coverage which confirm the role. Arguments like WP:MUSTBESOURCES, WP:ADHOM do not add to notability LibStar (talk) 15:25, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment So the office was first held concurrently by the ambassadors to Sweden and now the ones to Denmark? Would this merit a merge of some sort? The two separate articles to merge to makes it a lot harder. It seems to be a Wikipedia standard to have an ambassador list of every little country to every little other country: List of ambassadors of Sweden to Ukraine. However I do prefer it this way, as the information is hard to find otherwise. The Wikipedia templates make research of ambassadors a lot easier. They're also simple, clean lists: quickly glanced through. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 21:32, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment; I don't see why deletion would be appropriate or even advisable. Lists are meant to make research easier. Any technicalities can be explained in a short paragraph at the top. As Magoo aptly mentioned, these lists are widespread, and they are so for a reason. I don't see a merge target for this one in particular.

 * maybe due to the fact that Australia has never had a resident ambassador, if we start making lists of non resident ambassadors in wikipedia we'd have tens of thousands of lists of very quesitonable value. LibStar (talk) 03:41, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
