Republic of China – Paraguay relations

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

any useful information can be redirected here Foreign_relations_of_the_Republic_of_China. the article's statement about Chinese immigrants may be from mainland China not Taiwan. LibStar (talk) 01:26, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 17:25, 4 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Non-notable, not likely to be found so. This article borders on being a mere dictionary entry. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  19:19, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Closing administrator please note this editor has copy and pasted the exact same delete reason on Forty seven other AfDs today. Two weeks ago he copy and pasted the same reason in 15 AfDs in less than 3 minutes. Ikip (talk) 09:28, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Because all these articles are identically crappy. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  14:58, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Foreign relations of the Republic of China, where there's already a section on Paraguay; the relationship is somewhat notable as Paraguay is the largest country still recognising the ROC, but not really notable enough to merit a separate article. - Biruitorul Talk 22:30, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Given that Paraguay is the largest country to recognise the ROC the relationship is probably notable (if not very notable). Taiwan tends to give large amounts of aid and other support to the countries which regonsise it in return for their ongoing recognition and votes at the UN, etc, so its reasonable to assume that there are sufficient references to establish notability.

 * Delete no reliable independent sources discuss a relationship and none findable by me? Clear delete. Let's have only verifiable info established as notable by reliable sources, shall we.Bali ultimate (talk) 04:26, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - per above and 2 x resident ambassador. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 06:13, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Foreign relations of the Republic of China if there's anything worth copying that isn't there yet. Otherwise, delete as unneccesary duplicate.- Mgm|(talk) 12:22, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep This sort of a merge would be unreasonable. It would need, for one thing, to be merged to both Foreign relations of china AND foreign relation of Paraguay. My opinion remains that given political realities, the associations between pPRC and any country are notable. DGG (talk) 22:15, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * it's not PRC it's Taiwan. LibStar (talk) 05:29, 6 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong keep. I've expanded the article a bit. For those interested in the matter, there is a whole chapter in Marks' book (see references) on the relations between the two countries during  Wang Sheng's ambassadorship. (Unfortunately, many pages from that chapter can't be viewed on Google Books, so you'd have to get to a good library to read it its entirety...) Vmenkov (talk) 02:52, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per User:Vmenkov great work. Once again, it is shown for a bilateral relations article that a dedicated attempt at finding sources allows expansion beyond stub level. I used to agree that these were generally non-notable, but so many AfDs with so little effort at finding sources has convinced me to give all of these the benefit of the doubt.YobMod 09:07, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * An informative and well-sourced article. Aymatth2 (talk) 03:09, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep; the development of the article demonstrates that this is a notable topic. Smile a While (talk) 17:17, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nice rescue work. The fact that Paraguay is one of few recognisers of RoC, and has regularly pushed for it to join the UN is certainly notable. Fences and windows (talk) 04:06, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * NEW EVENTS HAVE MADE THESE AFDs IRRELEVANT We could really use some help with Foreign relations of Argentina by country, the first of many comprimise merges. Eventually these articles will be merged into the "diplomacy of..." articles. PLEASE HELP US Lets all work together to merge these articles instead of arguing about them. So much energy has been wasted in these arguments, which could be used on merging these stub articles onto one page. I strongly encourage the nominator to withdraw the AFD nomination. Thanks.

 * Er. Ikip, does you having a discussion with about four other editors constitute a project-wide consensus? No. Hold your horses. Fences and windows (talk) 20:44, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
