Fails WP:GNG. Relations are very little besides diplomatic recognition: no embassies, agreements, trade, state visits or migration. The article even states that Burkina Faso is not a priority for Spain "Burkina Faso has not traditionally been a country of cooperation for Spain, nor does it appear in the current Master Plan for Spanish Cooperation (2013–2016) as a country of association."

Keep. While I understand (and share) the concern of the AfD creator about creating articles without third party sources, Spanish special forces are operating in Burkina Faso, with Guardia Civil agents training elite rural antiterrorist units in the mould of the GAR as part of the GAR-SI SAHEL initiative. There has been explanatory requests by the Spanish minister to their Burkinese counterpart concerning the assassination of Spanish journalists. All in all, we can have a micro-stub with this sort of content. The interaction/friction of the southwestern fringes of Eurasia with the Sahelian area is only expected to become more evident in the coming future, whether that involves embassy-level diplomatic representation or not.
