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 notability. the obsessive creator actually missed out on a lot of notable ones whilst creating some truly laughable ones.

Martintg (

MarshalN20 - I'm interested in helping check for the notability of Spanish language-related topics.
HJMitchellYou rang? 23:09, 3 May 2009 (UTC). It's good to see these articles being collected together so they can be sorted.reply
Smile a While (
talk) 22:24, 5 May 2009 (UTC) My position is that government sponsored trade links, political initiatives, diplomatic visits etc. are component parts of relations and assembling them should not count as synthesis. All such pages must be backed up by reliable sources though obviously reliable primary sources (e.g. government websites) should be acceptable.reply
CaribDigita (
talk) 09:32, 6 May 2009 (UTC) - Thinks a task force would be the best way to seek that all articles are going in the right direction.reply
Deavenger (
talk) 23:37, 12 May 2009 (UTC). I've worked on the Wikiprojects of International Relations, Politics, and Power in International Relations, and started several bilateral relations pages myself. I'm interested in helping better these articles and saving them from deletion.reply

secondary sources, and discourage the practice of mass-producing stub articles without consensus.reply
As a member of the
Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron and due to higher education degrees in history and political science, I have a good idea as to which ones are worth putting time and energy into defending and improving and I already managed to get at least one to DYK level! Best, --
