another random country pairing [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=belarus+belgium+relations&num=10&hl=en Google news search] doesn't reveal much. LibStar (talk) 04:33, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

  • Comment Isn't it likely that two European countries are likely to have some level of notable relations? Something more than a quick google news search may be required here. -- Mattinbgn\talk 12:35, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete - it's likely Belgium has spoken out against human rights abuses in Belarus, but it might have done so only in the EU framework, in which case Belarus and the European Union would be a better place to handle this. And while I agree it's more likely for European countries to interact, one should keep in mind that one is an advanced Western democracy, and the other a Brezhnev-era relic far more oriented toward Russia (although that too is a sometimes testy relationship). Regardless, in the absence of sources or obvious factors like shared borders (not the case here), we should presume a lack of notability and delete. - Biruitorul Talk 16:10, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a collection of miscellaneous juxtapositions of countries, nor a directory of which do or do not exchange diplomats. Fails notability as well. Edison (talk) 17:19, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
