Deletion of Iceland–Mexico relations (2nd nomination)

Comment: I think a problem with many of these articles is that they aren't really articles on the ''relationship'' itself, but more just a rundown of what the relations ''are''.  That is a key difference, and trying to glue together the latter to make it look like the former is exactly what  is in place to prevent.  This article may as well be titled "List of Iceland-Mexico relations".  Things actually have to ''happen'' to make inter-nation relations notable, and |reliable sources have to make note of that, otherwise it is just a list of agreements and treaties

Comment: as several readers have pointed out, the topic itself has not "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", as mandated by . Yes, the two have relations (not in itself notable, as established by numerous discussions), and yes, the two have interacted at a basic level (which is normal for most any random pair of countries in the world today, and which gets reported on all the time but passes unnoticed by this encyclopedia, except in this series of nonsense articles). That said, there is no source actually covering "Iceland–Mexico relations" in any depth; there are only brief news items about routine interactions that Wikipedians have ''surmised'' are equivalent to "Iceland–Mexico relations". That, of course, is bogus; we need independent sources providing in-depth coverage; unsurprisingly, these are not to be found

Comment: From a procedural standpoint, it is shameless to the point of vandalism to nominate this article so soon again.  I know there was precedent, but it is still lousy.  From a substantive standpoint, this is another one of those unlikely but notable articles.  It is well-sourced, and well-written.  The nomination is, again, of the |brown peoples are not notable variety.   Well, Mexico is a large country and its diplomatic relations are important

Comment: Meets the standards of  IMHO, contains 14 s and the topic in-of itself is notable. The foreign relations of any two nations that are internationaly recognized, wether it be Mexico and Iceland or Peru and Sri Lanka are naotable based on the diplomatic status of the two nations and the relationship (or lack there-off) between them

Comment: Thoroughly sourced, passes  with flying colours, and excellently informative article, it should be improved if possible, not deleted. This kind of relatively obscure but well documented articles are what makes WP more useful and informative than any "normal" encyclopedia. I am sorry that the canvassing incident smeared some of the keep !votes, since they for sure have more merit than the  arguments of the delete ones
