Kosovan–Panamanian relations

the fact that Panama has recognised Kosovo is mentioned in International recognition of Kosovo. bilateral relations cannot be simply based on one phone call as the article describes. appears to be little coverage of the relationship besides the recognition [1].

Delete This can be mentioned in a sentence or two in International recognition of Kosovo. The "cordial phone call" is probably the smallest basis for an x-y article that I've ever seen. Mandsford (talk) 20:41, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Maybe nominator forgot he nominated this before, because there are several sources which were mentioned in the last AfD.[2],[3], [4],[5] Nominator also failed to contact creator about AFD. Ikip (talk) 05:28, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Even though there have been some oversights in this nomination, which you have corrected, I don't see anything that shows that there is any ongoing relationship between these two small nations in opposite hemispheres. The new reference is to Kosovo asking Panama to support a resolution in the UN, and Panama is one of the nations that acknowledges Kosovo as an independent nation. But is there any significant trade between the two nations? Is there a product that one nation imports from the other? Has a representative from one nation been received by the leader of the other? I still don't see that there is enough of a relationship to support a separate article. Mandsford (talk) 13:25, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - articles like this make the whole bilateral relations articles look bad while there are actually some good ones. There is simply no relevance or hope that this article will ever be expanded not to mention that there is no independent coverage of the subject, only one aspect of it which is a phone call.--Avala (talk) 13:03, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per multiple sources: [6], [7], [8], [9]. --Turkish Flame ^☎ 13:48, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Nobody is denying that Panama recognizes Kosovo, so I don't see the point in posting the same news from 4 websites stating that Panama recognizes Kosovo? We are discussing bilateral relations here and that is supposed to be based on more than a recognition and a phone call. I would love to hear your plan in a few points how would you expand this article?--Avala (talk) 15:26, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A relationship is notable if it receives media coverage, which obviously the relationship between these two countries, clearly has. According to the notability guidelines, its notable. Dream Focus 16:33, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I recently got my picture in a local paper while at a market. I'll start on my article on that basis of notability immediately. --BlueSquadronRaven 03:47, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A phone call. Notwithstanding that relations have had a whopping year and a half to generate serious study on the topic as a whole (I'm sure sociologist Ph.D. candidates are clamouring for that as a thesis topic) if all anyone can find is a phone call to justify an article that is otherwise a dictionary definition then there is no possible reason to keep this. --BlueSquadronRaven 03:44, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, based on current state of the article. If there's nothing to the relations beyond mutual recognition at this point, this does not require an independent article. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 09:13, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the fact of recognition, recorded at International recognition of Kosovo, is the only salient point of this relationship. Given the lack of in-depth coverage of actual relations, we can safely delete. - Biruitorul ^Talk 04:29, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Only a few sources for relatively trivial standard diplomatic stuff. Quantpole (talk) 13:06, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Trivial data beyond mutual recognition, absolutely non-notable relationship by any standards. Dahn (talk) 11:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No actual notable relationship. Truly minimal. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:34, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
