Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Embassy of Malaysia in Moscow
If it wasn't for Saakashvili|Misha's 2008 South Ossetia war|big five day adventure in the countryside, most of these articles would be developed by now; so blame him for that part. However, now that the disruptive nomination of the entire category has now been stricken, and yes, I will stand by saying that such bulk nominations are disruptive, because as you said it could be taken to DRV, but that would not be required is one looked in the first place, I would suggest doing to this what I did to Embassy of Malta in Moscow, and that is '''Redirect''' this single article to List of diplomatic missions in Russia. If you aren't sure if a topic is notable or note, read  (and actually implement parts of it, and do a search)...if that yields no results, consider if content can be merged at a relevant article, and if that isn't required, ask yourself would a redirect to another relevant article be warranted. For example, after research, this is a Brezhnev-era building, and isn't on a heritage register (like a huge amount of embassies in Moscow are - such as Embassy of Mali in Moscowhttp://www.mkn.com.mos.ru/index.php?action=show_rubric&id=169 which you did the AfD and then undid), and hence by all rights it could be deleted, as it is here at AfD. But a better solution is to redirect it as mentioned above. Stop and think of what one is doing beforehand, perhaps consider raising concerns on the talk page if it isn't clear to yourself (and that is evident due to many nominations which have survived), and also perhaps notify the article creator and/or substantial editors on their talk page as to the AfD; not all editors keep articles on their watchlists (I only found this one by going thru the last 5 days of AfD nominations looking for those relations articles) and they may be able to provide insight that you can't see. A prime example is the Libya-Vanuatu article, that I posted on the talk page of only a couple of days previous with a source for use and which would further establish its notability, so it was lucky that this one was caught, because most editors seem to treat these discussions as a vote, and don't even bother looking for sources themselves; and use AfD as a last resort, not the rash way that it is obviously being done which somewhat causes responses as above. Can I ask that you not touch any other of these Russian embassy and bilateral relations article as yet (meaning not take to AfD), as for the last week I have been going thru some 85GB of date and collating it altogether in Zotero for placement in articles. Thanks
