Pakistan–Samoa relations
- ... that Pakistan established relations with Samoa in 1983? Source: Samoa and Pakistan continue to strengthen diplomatic relations
- ALT1:... that Pakistan has leveraged its relationship with Samoa to negotiate a tax information exchange agreement? Source: Positive response received from one tax haven so far
- Reviewed: Will review one soon
- Comment: I intended to nominate this last week, but had some unexpected stuff come up in real life.
Created by Mar4d (talk). Nominated by Vice regent (talk) at 00:16, 3 October 2020 (UTC).
- Comment: Perhaps hold for November and Wikipedia Asian Month?
Article is long enough, but it fails newness requirement, as it was created in Main Space on 9/17 but was not nominated until 10/3 (e.g., 16 days later). See WP:DYK: "For DYK purposes, a 'new' article is no more than seven days old." Even if this were to be overlooked, the hooks are problematic. The lead hook is not remotely hooky. It is a completely bland fact that could be stated about any of 10,000 nation pairings: that Country A established relations with Country B in Year XXXX. Moreover, the alt 1 hook is not supported by the in-line citation provided. The hook asserts that the two countries successfully negotiated a TIE agreement, but the cited source does not say that such an agreement was signed. It merely says that Samoa "invited an official request ... to start negotiations on the said agreement." Cbl62 (talk) 02:56, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
