Peru–Romania relations

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

Yet another Groubani special. (For those who don't know him, Groubani is an editor who knows little English, and whose idea of "improving" the encyclopedia is in authoring countless stubs on bilateral relations, replete with grammatical mistakes and violations of the MOS. These are either absurd (Chile–Malta relations, Colombia–Estonia relations) or about 20 times shorter than they should be (Hungary–Romania relations, Germany–Italy relations). Either way they're pretty worthless.) Let's see here. Bucharest and Lima are 7453 miles apart. Virtually no Peruvians live in Romania, and vice versa. The countries have about zero historic or political ties, and minimal economic ones. The existence of their diplomatic relations is attested at List of diplomatic missions in Romania and List of diplomatic missions in Peru. It's pretty clear that beyond this, the relationship lacks notability, and thus the article should be deleted. Biruitorul Talk 04:07, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete no info. here, and while a Country X-Country Y relations article is probably defensible in a great many combination it's senseless without an actual article. JJL (talk) 04:52, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per longstanding precedent for these articles: there's nothing inherently notable about relations between two specific countries. By the way, the Germany-Italy article wasn't Groubani's creation.  Nyttend (talk) 05:28, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I stand corrected - let's pick Bulgaria–Serbia relations as another example of a Groubani creation that could say a lot (they did fight a bunch of wars, for instance) but manages to say almost nothing. - Biruitorul Talk 07:18, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Rather than creating articles like this, the better course would be to improve articles like Diplomatic missions of Peru, List of diplomatic missions in Peru, Diplomatic missions of Romania and List of diplomatic missions in Romania.  The date of establishing relations (supposedly November 9, 1969) could be added to those articles. Mandsford (talk) 17:16, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This is part of a series of articles where editors simply try to match each all country names with one another. Leave it to other to fill in the blanks, no matter how obscure or trivial the subject... The very principle behind having such articles to begin with is dubious, but at least some of the articles could actually help a reader or two. Dahn (talk) 02:52, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, this article ought to have a scope for expansion. Peru had a leftist government orientation back in the 1970s, i think it obtained closer diplomatic linkages with the eastern bloc at the time. --Soman (talk) 20:40, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The Soviets had a rapprochement with various Latin American nations starting in the late 1960s. I don't know the extent to which the Romanians did (other than by establishing relations), but I will note they were much closer to Africa than to Latin America. Do you perhaps have any sources to help us out? - Biruitorul Talk 22:09, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
