The result was no consensus. These are becoming a bloody mess. The lot of you need to metaphorically sit down somewhere and hash out a notability guideline for these articles. Hint: "All of them are notable" is clearly NOT consensus. In addition, some of you -- on both sides of the debate -- are acting very badly toward fellow editors. This discussion is filled with assumptions of bad faith and borderline personal attacks. Those of you responsible -- and I'm fairly sure you know who you are -- may consider yourselves duly warned. If you cannot discuss these articles productively, then you might consider directing your editorial attention elsewhere, rather than attacking those who assert a different opinion. This is more or less a procedural close, as the debate is likely too toxic to produce anything of real use. No bar to renomination after a reasonable attempt to work out an acceptable guideline.

noting the last AfD was no consensus. the fact that the Australian government decided to move its embassy off Barbados says something about relations. and the absence of embassy is not due to no diplomatic relations and history of sanctions, like the reason for no US embassies in Cuba, north korea, Iran like some might say. 3 of the sources are simply direct from the Australian government. one source says "Both nations have given some consideration for the signing of a double taxation agreement between their two nations" giving consideration to what is one of the most basic agreements is not really concrete. other than that most of the coverage relates to sporting field [1]. those using the argument that coverage must exist in national newspapers in national languages, well Australia and Barbados both have English as main languages.

I disagree, searches indicate me far less coverage than Mexico-Iceland. Most coverage is Australia and a group of Caribbean nations and not specifically Barbados. LibStar ( talk) 08:14, 19 May 2010 (UTC) reply
