Wikipedia:WikiProject International relations/Bilateral relations task force

Welcome to the Bilateral relations task force of WikiProject International relations. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Bilateral relations.

Our goal

To improve Wikipedia's coverage of bilateral relations articles, and centralize discussion on them. Participants will analyse extant bilateral relations articles and sort them into three preliminary categories:

• Prod - these articles are deemed by participants not to be notable, and they will prod them
• AfD - these articles are either be of unclear notability, or participants have not been able to reach a consensus on their notability, so they will be sent to articles for deletion
• Keep - these articles are deemed by participants to be notable, and in need of expansion and improvement rather than deletion

• User:Drmies (talk). I'm interested in deflating the pressure cooker of AfD and article rescue. I'm extremely prejudiced: I think all articles on notable subjects should be kept. ;)
• User:LibStar. Interested in keeping the truly notable combinations. given that in recent months a number of random combination articles have been created with no consideration of reliable sources indicating notablity. the obsessive creator actually missed out on a lot of notable ones whilst creating some truly laughable ones.
