WP:DSBILATERALWP:DSBILATERAL

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Bilateral relations. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Bilateral relations|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Bilateral relations. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Bilateral relations

Embassy of Croatia, London

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article merely confirms it exists. With 1 of 2 sources being a directory listing. Fails WP:ORG. LibStar (talk) 07:00, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bilateral relations, Croatia, and United Kingdom. LibStar (talk) 07:00, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a deletion rationale, have you done a BEFORE search? There are articles about ambassadorial appointments and the like. SportingFlyer T·C 10:33, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Fails WP:ORG is a deletion rationale. LibStar (talk) 11:13, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is an article about a physical location. Ambassadors go in the Croatia-United Kingdom relations article Geschichte (talk) 14:33, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
merge to Croatia–United Kingdom relations as the usual resolution when the building itself is not notable. No such claim is made in the article. Mangoe (talk) 14:44, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Often articles of this sort go past just the physical building and cover the Diplomatic mission as a whole, as titling the mission under its technical name would make it hard to find. That being said, this really is just the building, and while I'll almost always take a crack at finding sources for diplomatic mission related articles, outlook on this one is pretty doubtful. – Ike Lek (talk) 00:23, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment ISBN 9789531695459 is possibly a relevant source, but I currently do not have access. Dege31 (talk) 03:00, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Being an ambassador does not inherit the notability of the subject. Fails WP:GNG. LKBT (talk) 12:07, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Women, India, and United States of America. LKBT (talk) 12:07, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep, masses of coverage and an Ambassador is clearly notable. The nomination was too quick; if he withdraws then notability via WP:BLP1E might pertain, but not now. I suggest withdrawing the nomination and waiting a month to see what happens.Ldm1954 (talk) 12:33, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. I'll appeal to the spirit of WP:NPOL, even if he isn't exactly a politician. All previous US ambassadors to Singapore have articles. Currently the coverage on this one is limited to the circumstances of his confirmation hearing, but presumably he'll take office soon and more sources will follow. Like Ldm1954 says, we can revisit this if he doesn't end up becoming ambassador. For now I think there's a case for assuming notability based on his title. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 12:44, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify might actually also be an option here... -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 18:34, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Having thought over it again, it's definitely draftify. Not notable currently, we can fish out the draft if/once he meets GNG. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 18:53, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - It is reasonable to assume that the ambassadors of this category so far have articles. There would be no loss in keeping this too. GenuineArt (talk) 06:27, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Ambassadors are not inherently notable, hundreds have been deleted. However, this one might meet WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 07:13, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: As ambassador, he will get plenty of articles which will allow this entry to be expanded. 🄻 🄰 14:54, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is no inherent notability in being an ambassador. Ambassadors tend to get routine coverage rather than indepth. LibStar (talk) 06:07, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep: I agree with LibStar’s comment, even if she doesn't meet the criteria as an ambassador, she does pass WP:NBIO. Baqi:) (talk) 13:33, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
