List of Australian High Commissioners to Barbados

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

fails WP:GNG. all the sources are primary except the Canberra times articles which are routine announcements and barely mention Barbados. in fact 2 of the 4 Canberra times articles do not even mention Barbados. notability is not temporary is irrelevant here as I'd argue there is insignificant coverage to establish notability even when there was a resident ambassador. let's see if the usual suspect turns up with a WP:MUSTBESOURCES, WP:ADHOM or "as per another editor's reasoning" weak arguments.

 * Keep The references are what you would call reliable, being from the government. Just because the High Commissioners work for the government that published the references, does not stop this from being a suitable list to have. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:18, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The majority of references are primary sources. The Canberra Times are small few lines routine announcements in fact 2 of the cited times articles do not even say anything about Barbados. Please show actual third party coverage discussing the ambassador to Barbados in depth. LibStar (talk) 09:58, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
 * please read WP:GNG "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable". LibStar (talk) 10:17, 2 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete and merge As per the AFD discussion on the Australian Ambassadors to Kazakhstan page, this info could easily be placed on the List of Australian High Commissioners to Trinidad and Tobago page, which will strengthen that page and not lose anything worth saying about this subject, of which there appears to be little. Simply put, a ten year old posting with little coverage independent of government sources is not enough to warrant its own page.Siegfried Nugent (talk) 10:28, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge with redirect/s. Content should be kept, is notable and encyclopedic but does not warrant its own article.   Aggregate into bigger geographic areas.  Ditto Articles for deletion/List of Consuls-General of Australia in Chicago.  Aoziwe (talk) 14:13, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Australian High Commissioners to Trinidad and Tobago, where the content already exists. North America1000 08:54, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
