its not notable enough to warrant an article of its own; maybe it can be included as part of Foreign relations of Burkina Faso. ☢️SCR@TCH!NGH3@D (talk) 10:08, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Actually seems to be a much more significant relationship than I would have guessed. There have been a number of state visits, and they've signed several agreements and MoUs ([1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] - not saying these are all necessarily RS for the purposes of assessing notability, just useful for getting a sense of whether a meaningful bilateral relationship exists between the two countries). There also seems to be a growing trade relationship. Not the most notable relationship between a pair of countries, sure, but I think it's more than enough.

Keep: The remark "not the most notable pair of countries" is dismissive of two nation states. They may not matter to the previous commenter, User:Spiderone (even if s/he decided to Keep), but they are notable to both populations, and this article is part of a series of similar articles for other nations. If the article did not exist, it would need to be created. Spideog (talk) 11:32, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise if that came off as dismissive, that was not my intention at all! All I meant was that even though the relationship between Burkina Faso and Iran is obviously not as extensive or widely covered as, say, China–United States relations, it is still very much deserving of an article — on which we seem to be in agreement. I'll edit my vote to make that clearer. MCE89 (talk) 22:20, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Sir, so my intention was not to desregard it completely but to rather merge it with Foreign relations of Burkina Faso. I also don't really believe its notable to iran. But, in case its actually more notable, then i feel like maybe the article must be expanded and if that is the case i'll be happy to help. ☢️SCR@TCH!NGH3@D (talk) 06:27, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
