This is another of the bilateral relationship articles mass-produced by User:Groubani without attempting to demonstrate notability. A [http://www.google.com.au/search?q=Australia+Paraguay&hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1C1GGLS_en-USAU291AU303&start=0&sa=N Google search] doesn't turn up any reliable sources on the relationship between the two countries other than routine government websites and some material on an eccentric Australian group which started a settlement in Paraguay in the 1890s (which is already covered in the New Australia article). The Australian Broadcasting Corporation also [http://www.abc.net.au/news/tag/paraguay/ doesn't have any stories] on the relationship between the countries in its online news archive. Moreover, neither country currently has an embassy in the other and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's website states that [http://www.dfat.gov.au/geo/paraguay/paraguay_brief.html 'Australia's positive relations with Paraguay are modest'] and that there's only about $2 million per year in trade between the two countries. As such, this bilateral relationship does not meet WP:N Nick-D (talk) 00:27, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete. According to List of sovereign states there are 203 countries, giving rise to over 41 000 articles of the form "X–Y relations". There is nothing in this article to suggest any particular notability in this pairing. WWGB (talk) 01:12, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

::Comment - only 20,000 articles, since if there is an article on "X–Y relations" there would not (it is to be hoped) also be an article on "Y–X relations". . .Rcawsey (talk) 08:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete Another entry in the seemingly endless chain of whimsical pairings of countries with very minor foreign relations. Does not meet WP:N standards. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:35, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete another one of those Country X-Y relations articles that fails notability standards. tempodivalse [☎] 01:37, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment - I know you guys are going to kill me but, this one is a bit reminiscent of the Australia-Uruguay article I have been reworking over the past day. You might want to take a bit of a look at this article on an Australian colony in Paraguay dubbed New Australia. This might mean these countries share some kind of relations even if they are from the 1800's. I am searching for sources as well for other things such as trade agreement etc., but have not made up my mind on keeping or deleting. -Marcusmax(speak) 02:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

::My fault the nom already mentioned that, sheesh all this work I have done today has worn me out, so per nom I go delete. --Marcusmax(speak) 02:25, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete per my new standards. No factor exactly fits. Bearian (talk) 19:17, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete no notability established or demonstratable.Bali ultimate (talk) 23:08, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete no real notable link between no countries, Paraguay doesn't even have an embassy in Australia, it uses its Japanese embassy to cover Australia! which says something about how important Paraguay sees Australia. http://protocol.dfat.gov.au/Mission/view.rails?id=158 LibStar (talk) 01:23, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete - Australia's embassy for Paraguay is in Buenos Aires (the capital of Argentina), and Paraguay's embassy is in Tokyo (the capital of Japan). That's the wrong way of showing that a "relationship" is notable. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 10:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete two non-resident ambassadors do not make a notable "relationship" between any two countries.--BlueSquadronRaven 14:13, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete - if the closest place to Canberra Paraguay can find to operate its relations with Australia from is Tokyo (4947 miles away), then we should attach about as much importance to the relationship as they do. - Biruitorul Talk 16:40, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
