Was the subject of a previous AfD in 2019 (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Embassy of Afghanistan, Cairo) the result was procedural keep as participants clearly think the mass nomination was inappropriate and wanted the different embassies to be considered individually. The article is solely reliant on primary sources and it should be noted that embassies are not inherently notable. Fails WP:NBUILDING / WP:NORG / WP:GEOFEAT.

I generally agree with most of your points re poor sourcing/lack of notability in the different areas. I do see a benefit to having articles like this exist, given its highly structured format. As I'm going through several hundred embassy pages now, I'm curious if it would be worthwhile to re-explore whether embassies in general are notable or not, Shushugah (talk) 23:25, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Shushugah, if the embassy is notable because of the role that it plays then it should be included in Bahamas-United States relations and I'm happy if that is the result of this AfD. Alternatively if we are talking about the embassy building then it would need to satisfy WP:NBUILDING. If you want to raise a broader discussion on whether embassies are inherently notable then I'm happy to participate. My observations are simply based on the outcomes of numerous previous AfD discussions held over the last 10 years. Dan arndt (talk) 02:30, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete My first thought was that it should be notable, a search does not find enough to meet any flavor of WP:GNG, looking at the specific criteria mentioned by the nom, leave little option but to vote delete. Jeepday (talk) 17:15, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Bahamas-United States relations, which I think would benefit from the extra tidbits about the embassy. Estheim (talk) 16:29, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge selectively and redirect as per the wise suggestion of Estheim. The resulting target will be a better article. Bearian (talk) 18:10, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Bypassed link to redirect (was Embassy of the Bahamas in Washington, D.C.) to make XFDcloser work better. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 06:07, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
