Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ireland–Pakistan relations
While there appears to be more of a relationship between Ireland and Pakistan than between other pairs that have been AfDed recently, I'm still not seeing evidence that anyone cares enough to write about the relationship itself, other than a few wikipedians. Without a source or two that actually addresses the subject head on and in some detail, we're left cobbling an article together from the free hundred-word previews of tangentially related newspaper articles provided by online news archives like accessmylibrary, newslibrary, and highbeam. This is not a good way to write a college term paper, never mind an encyclopedia article. And the rescue effort for this article seems particularly sloppy: In going thru the cited sources I identified and fixed two |copyright violations and saw several other near verbatims that really toed the line. There was info included on Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland not the Republic of Ireland. And mentioning Ireland's cricket victory over Pakistan on St Patrick's Day or that both countries contribute to UN peacekeeping operations seems particularly like grasping at straws. But this is what happens when there are no substantive sources on topic to guide the writing of an encyclopedia article, a work that is supposed to be a tertiary source
