Chile–Ireland relations

noting that Ireland doesn't have an embassy in Chile (even though Chile is one of the economic powers of South America). distinct lack of coverage of actual bilateral relations, mostly sport and bilateral [1]. there's this article but it would be pure synthesis to say that actually means bilateral relations. and their football sides played in 2006, and I know of at least one editor who would think this counts for notability, clearly not. Coverage of acceptance of refugees...Western European nations since WWII have taken refugees from wars and political turmoil from all around the world, we don't report every instance in Wikipedia, especially a relatively low number.

Delete Unfortunately, Chile and Ireland don't have relations that are notable through our standards, WP:NOTE, which states that the actual topic of an article must have significant non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources to be included in the encyclopedia. Google, Google book, Google scholar, Google news, nothing shows up. Perhaps one day in the future these countries will develop notable relations, establish embassies, discuss their relationship in a meaningful way, etc. Drawn Some (talk) 01:54, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No actual notability is evident. Minor, pedestrain functions and some sports interaction doesn't appear notable. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:13, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Granted, Bernardo O'Higgins was the greatest Irish-Chilean of all time, but that's not really about relations between Chile and Ireland. At first, the information about acceptance of Pinochet coup refugees seemed like something unique, but the article cited notes that "Ireland and Luxembourg were the only remaining members of the European Union that had not accepted Chilean refugees" after the 1973 coup.

Delete Bernardo O'Higgins, according to his article, seems never to have so much as set foot in Ireland, so it's hard to see him as being a catalyst of Irish-Chilean relations simply by his ancestry. Lots of countries accept refugees from specific conflicts... why is this number accepted from Chile by Ireland significant? Not notable. --BlueSquadronRaven 05:19, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No secondary sources discuss these relations. Fails WP:GNG. The number of Irish people living in a country becomes significant only when a secondary source says it is. Johnuniq (talk) 08:35, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
