Honorary consulates typically aren’t notable, and this one seems to be no exception. It’s brand-new, and the coverage is either official or from Servare et Manere, the outfit of the consul himself, Marek Sobola. (Incidentally, both of those articles deserve scrutiny for rampant self-promotion.) Biruitorul Talk 07:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- Although honorary consulates are honorary diplomatic missions, in many countries they fully replace regular and official diplomatic missions of sending states.
- If it bothers you to mention the person of the honorary consul in the body of the article, feel free to delete this information if you consider it unnecessary or even self-promo (this is certainly not the intention of this article!). However, the article itself about the honorary consulate, as about the diplomatic mission, is completely fine in my opinion. Similar to other articles on wikipedia dedicated to the honorary consulate of any of the UN countries.
- Romania has no consulates in Slovakia (except for this one in Žilina), and there are also none in the neighboring Czech Republic. Therefore, in my opinion, the meaning of the consulate for the wiki article is fine. But yes, it may not match your opinion. That's okay too... HeritageOcean (talk) 08:38, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Just to be clear, “other articles on wikipedia dedicated to the honorary consulate of any of the UN countries” aren’t really a thing. Yes, all of two articles about individual honorary consulates exist — but given that Germany alone has 35 honorary consulates in the United States alone, it’s clear that the practice is not to have articles on them, and that exceptions should be based on satisfying WP:GNG. — Biruitorul Talk 12:59, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
