San Marino – United Kingdom relations

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

hardly any third party coverage of this relationship, almost all multilateral. there's this article but not much else. British foreign office doesn't even list a country profile for San Marino LibStar (talk) 03:24, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Foreign relations are notable in my view, when there has been military action between the countries. In June 1944, the RAF bombed San Marino, thinking it was harboring Germans. While this is not in the article, it is an aspect of these foreign relations which I would deem notable. Sjakkalle (Check!)  13:51, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. As per above. There is enough about the British bombing and following reparations following WWII to save this. It meets notability and has more than enough sources for expansion. I'll add a few bits. Rafablu88  18:02, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've been staying away from bilateral relations stubs, but this seems pretty notable.  As noted by Rafablu88 and Sjakkalle, there is information out there. Bearian (talk) 18:48, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Having read the article, it appears obviously the two nations have a relationship worth mentioning. One declared war on the other, got bombed by them during that same war, sued them later on, and got money from them.   D r e a m Focus  05:27, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep There is enough info for a verifiable full article. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 06:54, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * San Marino sent a consul to Wales in 2008:. Oh, and they voted for the UK in Eurovision last year when nobody else did:. Lovely article from TIME about San Marino declaring war on the UK: "As if she were not having enough troubles, Great Britain learned last week that the Republic of San  Marino, with its 950 soldiers and 39 dazzlingly uniformed officers, all  "in splendid condition," had declared war against her." They point out that San Marino had technically been at war with Germany, as they never turned up to the peace treaty signings at the end of WWI.   Fences  &amp;  Windows  01:21, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
