Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Bilateral relations

WP: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

Belarus–Spain relations

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

Article is based primarily on primary sources. 4 of the 6 sources are the Spanish Foreign Affairs, the 1st source is an embassy website. There is no third party significant coverage of these relations. LibStar (talk) 02:01, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bilateral relations, Belarus, and Spain. LibStar (talk) 02:01, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. On a cursory google search, some content can be found in third-party sources.--Asqueladd (talk) 10:10, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Da Serra–American conflict

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

Article appears to be about a diplomatic tension that literally never meaningfully existed outside the in context of “between these years, there was a diplomat from Portugal”. The title of the article was invented for Wikipedia by the author and there’s no indication of historical significance or interest in this topic that warrants an entire article, and this is the third in a recent string of articles from this author with these problems. See also Portuguese Newfoundland and Luso–Danish expedition to North America or the Pining expedition and the associated AfDs for both. Warrenᚋᚐᚊᚔ 08:02, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve already addressed the title issue on the talk page. Regarding notability, I believe the topic has merit, as it directly contributed to tensions leading to the attacks on Portuguese vessels and resulted in a U.S. Congressional Act to address these issues. I do believe it has its own historical significance, especially in the context of U.S. foreign policy.

Ultimately, I’ll leave it for discussion. Jaozinhoanaozinho (talk) 11:16, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A search for "Da Serra–American conflict" only returns this AfD discussion and the article itself. I struggle to see how this passes WP:GNG and even the article doesn't highlight a conflict, just that diplomacy was taking place. Warrenᚋᚐᚊᚔ 11:51, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
