Australia-Indonesia Prisoner Exchange Agreement
AfDs for this article:
- Australia-Indonesia Prisoner Exchange Agreement (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Again, I'm trying to get rid of this page. There is no such treaty, I see no news reports of current progress or negotiations towards such a treaty. When I nommed once before, some stuff got added about Australia's general policy towards international exchange of prisoners, not really to the point. Sure, there might be such a treaty someday, but WP:CRYSTAL. Time to make an end of this article. Wehwalt (talk) 13:45, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong keep. The
ongoingnegotiations regarding this treaty have been widely reported and over many years, and I would have thought, of interest to a great number of people. Perhaps the title needs fixing, but that's trivial. Djanga 07:06, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The legacy of this article is indeed unfortunate - laboriously produced by one of Wikipedias most over productive and enthusiastic returning banned user/sockpuppet creators - however despite David's starting this article it is valid article concerning an on-going and valid historical process which is well documented - and as a consequence of importance to both the Indonesian and Australian projects. I agree with Djanga in that perhaps the title could be changed - but the process of discussion between the two neighbouring countries is something that is also an important barometer of the relationship - and is a notable and valid interaction deserving of an article SatuSuro 09:43, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per the above two editors, but rename to Proposed Australia-Indonesia prisoner exchange agreement or Australia-Indonesia prisoner exchange agreement negotiations or something similar to make it clear that this isn't in place. Nick-D (talk) 09:49, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Any negotiations are completely stalled, progress is WP:CRYSTAL. WWGB (talk) 09:59, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Notability is not temporary, and this was clearly notable while it was being negotiated. JulesH (talk) 13:51, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Citing what reliable sources say is fine. It's only when Wikipedians or unreliable sources are speculating that we've got problems. Andjam (talk) 11:10, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
