Fails WP:DEL6, it is an original synthesis. In addition it has an ill-defined subject "close relations" can mean a lot different things. Lappspira ( talk) 09:35, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
What is the criteria used to define what 'close' is? Are there social, economic, political, historical, geographic factors which make something 'close'? Do all of these countries share a set of common criteria or are they 'close' for different reasons? If so what is the common criteria? Right now there is merely an assertion of 'closeness' without any clear definition of what that means. It is Europe, all of the countries have 'close' relations with each other and have done since there have been countries there. That is what I mean when I say the criteria for inclusion is ill-defined.
As to the split from Nordic countries I do not see any discussion about that on either talk page. Is there some discussion that can be linked to so we can understand the reasons behind the split? Jbh Talk 18:29, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
Per the term 'close' every country in the Schengen Agreement, and/or the EU can be considered to have 'close' relations with one or more Nordic countries. What makes France different from Italy in this list? Having open borders, free trade and a common currency with one or more Nordic countries is 'close', why is having some Viking Settlers from 1100 years ago the distinguishing feature of 'closeness' that puts one country in the article and not the other??!!??
Per "not a list article". OK Countries which border the Nordic countries plus France - same question. Jbh Talk 00:00, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
Comment A: whatever the outcome of the fate of the article be, its content is clearly of encyclopedic value, and if the title decided to be improper for wikipedia, the article should be merged back and the fate of the content must be decided there. Staszek Lem ( talk) 19:13, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
