Tricontinental Chile

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There are two problems with this article. First, there are some notability concerns as I am unable to find many RS for this, although there maybe some Spanish language sources that I haven't looked into. The bigger problem though is that I feel that this just a trivia article (see WP:TRIVIA). I have not heard of this concept before, and while I think its neat, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. funplussmart (talk) 00:23, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep If this goes, it'll be on WP:GNG concerns and the fact this concept isn't really talked about significantly in English. There's a bit in Spanish about Chile's tri-continental nature, especially in teaching schoolchildren geography. For instance, not the best source since probably not significant coverage but it definitely mentions the tricontinental nature of Chile: However, this isn't trivia: WP:TRIVIA discusses lists of trivia in articles, and WP:INDISCRIMINATE doesn't talk about geographical articles like this.

 * Yeah, I realize that now. I still think there are some significant notability concerns though. And I still don't think Chile's transcontinental nature needs a Wikipedia article. funplussmart (talk) 12:01, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Please, consider our own language limitations before submitting an article for deletion. The concept is a legitimate scientific inquiry (see here). The Spanish language article is, as expected, better sourced (see here). The fact that it is a little-known topic outside of Chile does not warrant landing in AfD.

 * Speedy Keep Someone please close this AfD as withdrawn. I am now convinced this article should be kept. I need to take a break from posting bad AfDs. funplussmart (talk) 14:47, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
