List of international relations institutes and organisations

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not a directory. The article is nothing else but a collector of links of institutions that doesn't pass WP:A7 (in most cases). Although it may have potential, the article itself was created as one, and it really needs third-party sources that explain why the institutes and organizations are listed under the "international relations institutes and organisations" category. ©  Tb hotch ™ (en-2.5). 05:23, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - An unmanageably loose list. Akin to List of things that are brown. Carrite (talk) 06:47, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I really do not see the point of the above analogy. It's not a "List of organizations that have q in their name", or "list of organization founded in even numbered years", or even "List of organizations calling themselves institutes", all of which are indeed non-distinctive classes. It's lists or institutes and other organizations devoted to a particular very well defined subject that are notable enough for articles in WP. It's as good as any other subject oriented list of organizations,  DGG ( talk ) 02:56, 8 November 2013 (UTC).

 * Keep A useful article. The comment about List of things that are brown is silly. LordFixit (talk) 12:23, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Would you prefer List of American companies? List of small consumer products? Carrite (talk) 01:25, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, you're shitting me........... That's blue? I'd vote delete on that uselessly incomplete and utterly incompletable topic as well. Carrite (talk) 01:27, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll get out of the way on this, per David G. and the OTHERSTUFF argument I have just managed to make. Carrite (talk) 01:29, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
