Intro

Articles of the type "X-Y relations" have recently proliferated on WP. Many, but not all, were created by banned User:Groubani or his sockpuppets, and new ones are still appearing. Most are stubs and many have clear potential to develop into full articles. Other [seem to be] [are simply] random pairings. Many such articles have been deleted via PROD or AfD, but there is a large gray area between the patently non-notable and obviously notable pairings. Recognizing that some gray area will always exist and there will always be a need to deal with some pairings on a case by case basis, this guideline seeks to narrow that gray area and provideguidance on which topics are notable, which are not, and which might be. The aim is prevent editors from wasting their time creating and/or cleaning up articles which will utlimately be deleted, and to save the community time by hopefully reducing the number of AfDs.

Guidelines

Bilateral relations between counties are not inherently notable.

Dates of official recognition, locations of embassies/consulates, [lists of accords & agreements] are suitable facts for inclusion in wikipedia. But whether they belong in stand alone "X-Y relations" articles or in "Foreign relations of X" or "List of diplomatic missions of X" articles will vary depending on how extensive the relations between the countries are, and how much has been written about their relations.
Certain bilateral are inherently notable, and automatically suitable for stand-alone articles:
- Relations between countries sharing a land border or a narrow water boundary.
- Relations between states that, in modern history, where formerly part of the same country. i.e. relations among former soviet states with one another, or relations between states that were formerly part of Yugoslavia.
- Relations between a former colony and its colonizer, but not necessarily relations between former colonies of the same colonizer.
The following things, do not in-and-of-themselves prove notability:
- Formal recognition
- Embassies on each other soil
- Existence of bilateral agreements
- Mutual membership in international organizations (NATO, GRULAC, ASEAN, etc.)
The lack of embassies on each other's soil and/or bilateral agreements is a strong indicator that the topic of their relations is not suitable for a stand alone article of the "X-Y Relations" type. Note, however, if there is signficant coverage of their relations in independent secondary sources, than such an article may be justified.
WP:N: If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article.
- While they can be appropirate sources for an article, an official government website documenting ties to another state does not by itself establish notability of the pair, such that an "X-Y Relations" pair in justified.

Simplified Draft

X-Y relations are inherently notable when:

X and Y share a border
X and Y were the principle combatants in an armed conflict in the 20th or 21st century. Contributing troops to a UN operation or similar broad coalition does not count.
- Example: Argentina – United Kingdom relations qualifies as inherently notable because of the Falklands War. The fact the Albania contributed troops to Coalition Forces in Afghanistan does make Albania-Afghanistan inherently notable.
X was colonized, occupied, or otherwise part of Y in the last 200 years. Y must be the last occupier/colonizer before X gained independence.
- Example: France–Mauritania relations are inherently notable because Mauritania gained it's independence from France. The fact the United Kingdom once control Gorée does not make Senegal – United Kingdom relations inherently notable, because the island was more recently under French rule.

X-Y relations are inherently non-notable when:

None of the above are true and neither country maintains in embassy in the other and the countries are not involved in a dispute.

In between situations:

X-Y relations are notable if they meet the general notability requirement, which states that "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article. 'Significant coverage' means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material."
In this context, the websites of the Governments of X and Y are not independent and cannot used to establish notability.
New coverage about state visits, sporting events between X and Y, or a company from X investing Y do note establish notability unless the topic of the countries relations is directly addressed, and discussed in detail. In detail means more than a passing mention.
Books, book chapters, and journal articles constitute appropriate sources if they treat the subject of X-Y relations directly.
- Example: A book on the foreign relations of Thailand has a chapter on it's relations with Australia. This constitutes significant coverage.
- Example: A book on the foreign relations of Thailand has a chapter on it's relations with Latin America. Peru is mentioned a few times, but always along side other countries. This does not constitute significant coverage.
Newspaper articles can constitute significant coverage, but they must directly address the topic, and spend at least a paragraph on the topic. The number of such sources required to add up "significant coverage" varies depending on the depth of coverage in each source.
