Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Greece-Guyana relations

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Various. I hate multiple noms, and I hate closing them :) Mostly, this is because the arguments for deleting one article are "inherited" by another that may be sufficiently different. In this case, there is no single policy governing this kind of article, which means that mass nomination complicates, rather than simplifies this process and guarantees only that there will be disappointment for all sides. Nonetheless, that diatribe at an end, the discussion indicates a variety of results.

• Greece-Guyana relations - no consensus: poor arguments on either side, few addressing the usefulness of the sources provided in an effort to establish notability
• Cuba–Greece relations - no consensus: WilyD provided some sources (admittedly you need the right access to view them) and very little reason was given to discredit them. That said, the balance of argument does not indicate any consensus
• Greek-Panamanian relations, Greece-Turkmenistan relations, Greece–Uruguay relations, Greek-Palauan relations - delete. No reason for retention was offered to counter the discussion's conclusion that these lack reliable sources.

Finally, can I comment that comments of the variety of "better in another article", "redundant to existing article" etc. suggest an editorial alternative to an AfD - redirects and merges, which can be done without us ending up in these rather complex retention disputes. Can I suggest, before I have to spend another 20 minutes picking another nomination apart, discussing this centrally first rather than coming to the melting pot of AfD?
