This is a non-topic: you can't have a list of X when there aren't any X. -- Tavix ( talk ) 15:38, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - with no prejdudice for recreation should this become a non-null set.Icewhiz (talk) 16:01, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * A simple solution, and the easiest way to allow for recreation if necessary, would be to redirect to Foreign relations of Artsakh. postdlf (talk) 16:26, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirecting to Foreign relations of Artsakh would leave a misleading redirect because it implies there is list at that page when there really isn't one. Since there is not already a list on this subject, one would have to start from scratch anyway should they want to "re"create this. (also a reply to ) -- Tavix ( talk ) 18:16, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * How about maybe creating a section on Foreign relations of Artsakh with a list that says there aren't any diplomatic missions? GN-z11  ☎  ★ 10:27, 13 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Foreign relations of Artsakh. GN-z11  ☎  ★ 16:41, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - Article is still valuable in the sense that it confirms that there are no current missions in Artsakh (avoiding any speculations), furthermore this article could be expanded in the future (if/when) another state establishes diplomatic representation in Artsakh and thus avoiding recreation. Perhaps changing the title of the page in the mean time or removing "list of" would be a less drastic change? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.40.194.133 (talk • contribs)
 * Foreign relations of Artsakh already confirms that, so there is no reason to have a separate page just to state that fact. Redirecting allows for "recreation". postdlf (talk) 18:09, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I see your point in regards to the redundancy of it, but could an argument be made for consistency sake? Under the template "List of diplomatic missions in Europe" of the 50 or so recognized and partially recognized states of Europe, Artsakh would be the only "state" that wouldn't have a page. Would it be possible to remove "List of" from the title to make it less misleading/redundant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.40.130.130 (talk) 15:30, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Artsakh is also the only state* in Europe that doesn't have any diplomatic missions in it, so it makes sense that it would be the only one to not have a page. It's certainly possible to tweak the template to link to the foreign relations article if that's the route we want to take, the instructions are at Template:Europe topic. -- Tavix ( talk ) 16:36, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Directly linking to the foreign relations page from the template is not a bad idea. I still like also keeping the redirect though. I don't view it as misleading as a redirect existing does not make any factual claim. We instead create redirects to match reader expectation. If someone will search for "diplomatic missions in Artsakh" (and they will), the redirect should exist to direct them to the right place (to find out that there aren't any). postdlf (talk) 15:24, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:LISTN. No list entries, no purpose for article. Ajf773 (talk) 22:25, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
