Malaysia – United Arab Emirates relations

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

whilst noting they have embassies and are both Islamic countries, there is a distinct lack of coverage of actual bilateral relations,, there is a little bit of business dealings like this but not enough to make an article. the two countries cricket teams (which are considered 2nd tier) played in 2004 and I know of at least 1 editor that would think this equates to bilateral relations, clearly not.

 * Comment. I'll bet that is a lot of trade, traffic and guest workers between these two Muslim nations, enough to generate reliable sources. There are 15,400 Google news hits for "Malasia UAE". (I've generally agreed with LibStar's efforts to rid Wikipedia of these sorts of articles.) Abductive (talk) 07:43, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:GOOGLEHITS is not a valid reason. you will note much of those 15,000 articles is multilateral (ie any article that mentions these 2 countries + say Saudi Arabia, Singapore etc etc). LibStar (talk) 07:46, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
