Congolese–Turkish relations

lack of coverage of actual bilateral relations, mostly multilateral. [1], I've looked at the first 60 of these search results and found little. A military cooperation agreement and visit by a foreign minister in 2005, do not make for notable relations. LibStar (talk) 07:06, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as another permutation and combination of two very marginally connected nations. Fails notability test clearly. Collect (talk) 13:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Simply no evidence of an actually notable relationship. Minor cooperation and visit don't look notable to me. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:15, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As the official Turkish website declares, there are no political problems between the two countries. Unfortunately that is because there really isn't much of a relationship. I also searched for relations between Turkey and Zaire and found nothing but a t-shirt from a black-listed website. Unfortunately we must delete this article because the topic is not notable per WP:NOTE. Drawn Some (talk) 20:39, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Another apparently random combination created for the sake of it's creation, as it evidently wasn't created for the in-depth secondary-source coverage of the topic. Fails WP:GNG entirely. BlueSquadronRaven 21:25, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG as documented by editors commenting above. If this article ends up being kept or no-consensed, it should be renamed Democratic Republic of the Congo-Turkey relations per convention and to avoid confusion with Republic of the Congo.Yilloslime ^T_C 23:31, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

v t e Bilateral AfD arguments
Delete	D1 Just another random pairing of countries with no significant relationship D2 No independent sources are given and none show up on a Google search apart from sports results D3 None of the sources discusses the relationship itself, just random barrel-scrapings on trivial events like treaties, state visits etc. D4 These are two obscure little countries in Africa or Asia or Australia or somewhere like that. Their relations cannot possibly be notable.
Keep	K1 A Google search with the names of the two countries shows many results K2 Since being nominated the article has been expanded with several reliable independent sources K3 All bilateral relations between two countries are inherently notable K4 The article has a picture of the heads of state meeting - if Wikimedia accepted the picture, it must be notable
Comment	C1 You clearly do not understand my point - please read what I said C2 Your argument is irrelevant - check WP:POLICY. C3 My argument is entirely based on WP:POLICY - read it. C4 Bandy is an important sport in several countries, and competing in the world Bandy championships is enough to establish a notable relationship.
