there is no encyclopaedic value to this article as there is no actual relations. The USA does not recognise South Ossetia but neither does the vast majority of countries.

• Delete I completely agree with the nominator it serves no purpose since the US does not recongize South Ossetia. JayJay^{What did I do?} 15:25, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

• Redirect to International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. There's nothing meaningful to say that's not covered in that more general article (if there was a significant long-running controversy about the US's non-recognition, that might merit a separate article, but there's not). A redirect is appropriate because the article title follows a standard format for international relations articles and hence someone may search for the page, try to guess the URL, or even have an automatic script that generates links to Wikipedia pages. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
• Redirect to International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. I agree with the nominator that a standalone article is wholly inappropriate. However, redirects are cheap and there is useful information at the target making the redirect worthwhile. The Whispering Wind (talk) 22:40, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
• Redirect as suggested, per WP:CHEAP. Bearian (talk) 18:59, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
• Delete or redirect. There are no such relations. My very best wishes (talk) 23:30, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
