Reads more like a stand alone list than an article, and I don't think it meets notability for stand-alone lists. Many of the individual tours might be notable, but I don't think there's discussion of goodwill tours as a group, or at least I can't find any. If anyone can, though, then that would be great.

- Comment the article is a disaster. This seems like a well-defined term, but apart from the dictionary definition I'm not sure there is anything to say; I don't see a redirect target. Wiktionary doesn't have a dictionary definition so a cross-wiki redirect can't be done yet either. Walsh90210 (talk) 02:13, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- recommendation: Delete because wikipedia is not a dictionary and the article is unreferenced. Agreed with the above coments. Effervescent-lightbulb (talk) 05:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - Fails WP:NOTDICTIONARY. Unreferenced since 2008. (Oinkers42) (talk) 20:36, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. From a cursory look at Google Scholar, sources exist. The article is almost unchanged since its creation but a lack of editorial interest should not be a reason to delete. As always, deletion is not cleanup. It is not the easy button for when nobody wants to the hard work. Srnec (talk) 20:53, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Are those sources about specific goodwill tours, or about the concept in general? (Oinkers42) (talk) 15:37, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Redirect Merge. Per WP:NOTDICTIONARY this page should not stand alone. I dug into the Google Scholar results mentioned above. The "cursory look" reveals lots of sources, but they are almost exclusively WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS of a particular "goodwill tour" in the context of other coverage. The only thing that gets close to significant coverage is Black 2013, but even that is more about the broader concept of cultural diplomacy, to which I recommend a redirect. Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:25, 25 July 2024 (UTC)- Merge into cultural diplomacy, with a redirect, which is much better than deletion. There are sources , and just because it’s neglected by editors doesn’t mean it’s neither notable nor worthy of at least a mention. Bearian (talk) 21:58, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- I like the idea to Merge into cultural diplomacy, I think it would make sense as as subsection under tools and examples. I would be willing to perform the merge if there's consensus. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 18:34, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
