Morocco–Ukraine relations

Another one of those X-Y country relations articles that doesn't seem to satisfy WP:N. tempodivalse [☎] 13:37, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is not a collection of articles on miscellaneous juxtapositions of countries, nor a directory of which do or do not exchange diplomats. Fails notability as well. Edison (talk) 15:07, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - aside from "signing accords on trade and investments" (something that happens every week of every year, and is not terribly convincing evidence of notability, or something we can write an article about), there's no evidence these two have interacted meaningfully. - Biruitorul ^Talk 16:27, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, the article shares knowledge = that what's wikipedia is all about! — Mariah-Yulia (talk) 20:50, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Up to a point: see WP:EVERYTHING. Also, this particular information (the presence of embassies) is already covered at the respective "Diplomatic missions of..." articles. - Biruitorul ^Talk 00:55, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This and all "A country has once winked at B country" articles. Dahn (talk) 00:25, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Once again, a randomly created article that does nothing to assert notability in world affairs, and is not likely to be able to. --BlueSquadronRaven 15:59, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Found at least a couple in-depth reliable Arabic language sources directly about Morocco-Ukraine relations. [1][2] Remember, these are not English speaking nations and English language sources aren't so readily available. Not covering this topic because of lack of English sources would be a case of systemic bias. --Oakshade (talk) 01:32, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no reliable independent sources discuss this relationship in any non trivial fashion sufficient to establish notability. Claims that this is about english vs. foreign language sources is a straw man.Bali ultimate (talk) 10:26, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The two articles listed above are directly about the relationship between the two countries (translation for one) and are non-trivial (ie. not a "directory listing" or "passing mention").--Oakshade (talk) 15:29, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The sources are absolutely not about the relationship - they're about a visit that is too trivial to mention in the biography of someone too unimportant to have an article here (foreign ministers yes, assistant foreign ministers no). Of course a newspaper reported on it - that's their job; the question is if it has anything substantive to do with "Morocco–Ukraine relations", and the answer is no, at least not at a level beyond the trivial. - Biruitorul ^Talk 19:17, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This article consists exclusively of the kind of information that may or may not be mentioned in passing, to give depth to an existing article. There is no indication that the subject of this article (the relations between the two states) passes WP:N, and no technical reason to put the information here rather than into more reasonable places. --Hans Adler (talk) 01:58, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
