Nepal-Albania relations

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

neither country has a resident ambassador. complete lack of third party coverage, almost all of it is multilateral. simply talking at multilateral meets is not an indicator of bilateral relations, nor having sources from a government foreign affairs website.

 * Delete While three citations looks impressive at first glance, they're all to the same brief note. The Nepal Foreign Ministry tried to make it as, well, diplomatic as possible, with references to "mutual trust, goodwill and friendship" (polite applause) and "Being a member of United Nations... Albania and Nepal share common views in many international issues" (UNICEF is good.  War is bad.)  but the end result is that "There are no high level visits to and from Nepal."

 * Delete No independent references. The one source from the Nepal MFA shows why nothing shows up on a search - the two countries have no real relations. Unlike, for example, Nepal-Bhutan relations. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:21, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Neither these bilateral countries are not notable. ApprenticeFan  talk  contribs 03:49, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I may not be able to get to this but interested editors might explore the links between the Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist-Leninist) -- a Maoist outfit which is the largest pol. party in Nepal currently and the old Party of Labour of Albania. They may well have had close links (also the successor to the Party of Labour of Albania may have close bilateral links). Aside from that; I can't see anything notable from the governmental/trade dimension. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 17:48, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * False positive --- I suspected that the Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist-Leninist) might've been keen on Hoxha (and thus been in bed with Albanian party(ies)) but this doesnt seem to have been the case. Delete. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 22:40, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Barely a relationship at all, let alone a notable one. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:35, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
