this fails WP:GNG. not much more to this relationship than a Japanese embassy in Trinidad, and Trinidad sells LNG to Japan. there is a very small number of 32 Japanese living there. the relationship is not subject to significant third party coverage. those wanting to keep must provide actual sources not the embassy website.

- Keep Sufficient sources to show notability. That;s enough of a reason for keeping. DGG ( talk ) 04:59, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - yes, Japanese diplomats might be able to find Trinidad on a map, and the reverse is likely true as well. Yes, a low-ranking Japanese minister once went on a junket to a pretty Caribbean island. Yes, Japan has an ambassador there, and yes, Trinidadian state media reported when the old one left and the new one came in. But no, none of this in any way validates an article on what is patently a fictitious topic. Nowadays, most countries on earth have at least some minimal interaction, this pair being no exception. But minimal interaction does not translate into a notable bilateral relationship. For that, sources actually discussing relations between Japan and Trinidad would be necessary, and of course these don't exist, since the "topic" doesn't exist outside the minds of the handful of Wikipedia editors playing this silly game of "watch me do this". Let's quash this particular experiment. - Biruitorul Talk 17:38, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per WP:HEY. There are now enough material and citations to show some notability. Bearian (talk) 16:58, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per WP:GNG. Sources demonstrate a relationship and Trinidad and Tobago apparently serves as Japan's embassy for much of the Caribbean, which is an example of their relationship.--TM 22:30, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
