Fails WP:GNG. All this article does is confirm the embassy exists. Embassies are not inherently notable. The text "The Embassy is charged with..." is recycled in various embassy articles. LibStar (talk) 23:49, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Very weak keep. Given the high degree of relations and problems between Colombia and Venezuela this one is much more worthwhile than nearly all of the similar ones. What it needs is editing to make it more useful. (I can't do that myself.) Athel cb (talk) 09:03, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I started a History section, the article meets WP:GNG. Like Athel cb mentioned, Colombia and Venezuela have longstanding diplomatic relations, and with all the conflicts in recent years there should be plenty of information to expand on (WP:POTENTIAL). --NoonIcarus (talk) 10:10, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't that be more likely to affect the potential to expand Colombia–Venezuela relations rather than this article, though? I rarely see the possibility in expanding articles about an embassy building from a permastub, and this is no exception. Richard3120 (talk) 14:31, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

agree with Richard. LibStar (talk) 22:56, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While I understand the point and the concerns, I stand by my original position. Only as examples, in 2003 there was a bomb attack in Colombia's consulate in Caracas [es] (as well as Spain's embassy), and in the last years there has been an increasing number of Venezuelan congresspeople and politicians that have sought refuge in the embassies of Latin American countries, specifically Chile, Argentina and Mexico. There might be events that currently slip from my reach, but I hope it illustrate events that are more specific and that shouldn't be included in an article about bilateral relations as a whole. The description of its current image states that the building was built in the 1930s by dictator Juan Vicente Gómez and later given to the Colombian government, and while I only found circular references for this statement, it could be a good start to continue expanding the article. --NoonIcarus (talk) 21:13, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The subject has got good coverage in the news due to the complex relationship between Colombia and Venezuela over the past decades. That's why there are articles in BBC, AP, not only in the local newspapers. Dr.KBAHT (talk) 17:07, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as it has received enough coverage for notabilityJackattack1597 (talk) 21:32, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
