South Africa–Uruguay relations

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

only Uruguay has a resident embassy in S Africa. no notable coverage of relations except on the rugby and football field LibStar (talk) 02:35, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Due to the notorius fishing incident when a South African armed ship boardes and took custody of a Uruguayan ship (see:Australia–Uruguay relations). I know its not a very strong argument but in my mind it is strong enough. Although good job LibStar, thank you for checking for references first because the only thing I could also find were football games. - Marcusmax ( speak ) 02:40, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I must be fatigued why would I want to keep an article on the basis of someting that goes against WP:NOTNEWS.- Marcusmax ( speak ) 02:48, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I too could only find sports stuff; no in-depth coverage of this relationship in reliable sources, so fails WP:N. - Biruitorul Talk 03:14, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Despite this, I do not see evidence of notable bilateral relationships. Drawn Some (talk) 03:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and let's all grab one of them friendship pins found by Drawn Some. Decent of you, LibStar, and gracious of you, Marcus. Drmies (talk) 04:58, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree that football games should not count.The incident refered to by Marcusmaxis another matter, and does count, for all the countries involved. Not news does not apply to something as major as diplomatic incident of this sort.  DGG (talk) 06:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete If all they have as a relationship is a Football. Afkatk (talk) 10:41, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I have yet to hear of any sort of major international diplomatic ties being forged at the World Cup. Article says nothing beautifully. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  16:00, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - But I disagree with DGG about football games not counting. Major diplomatic news, too.  I'm not sure if this can be rescued, though, as the consensus appears to be against me on the issues. Bearian (talk) 19:53, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * major football games and rivalry can be covered in the own national team article like Peru_national_football_team. LibStar (talk) 23:51, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Nothing doing. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 11:45, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I don't see any evidence that sporting relations play any great part in South Africa–Uruguay relations, but they shouldn't be discounted as irrelevant to the subject of bilateral relations in general. These articles are about relations, not just diplomatic relations, and, anyway, in the case of South Africa, sporting relations have historically been intertwined with diplomatic relations. The knowledge of Anglo-German relations of many of my generation of English people can be summed up by this song. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:31, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. There appear to have been some notable diplomatic contacts between these countries in the mid-1970s. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:11, 9 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. 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 close this AFD. Thanks.

 * Delete this unsourced stub. According to this unsourced stub, SA closed its embassy in Uruguay a decade ago to save money, which is to say that the relationship was of so little import to them that they deemed it unworthy of devoting resources to it.Bali ultimate (talk) 21:17, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
