Poland Resolution[edit]

Should the below news entry be included in the portal?

International relations

Poland–Russia relations
- The Polish Committee for Standardization adopts a resolution renaming the Russian semi-exclave Kaliningrad Oblast as Królewiec Oblast, in line with its 14th century Polish name. Russia calls the move a "hostile act". (Polish Press Agency) (The Times)

Exclude as person for started this entry. The act is symbolic with little actual impact, given that Kaliningrad is not governed by Poland, but by Russia. Carter00000 (talk) 12:41, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The act is symbolic, I certainly agree with this statement. However, the Kaliningrad issue has come at a time of hightened tensions between the West (especially Poland) and Russia so given the context I would say this is notable enough to belong here. I mean, what's the point of having a category for international relations if we don't have anything there? It has been reported on by the BBC, The Guardian, Voice of America and Associated Press. It's clearly a notable current event, symbolic or not. GWA88 (talk) 12:51, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Upon reading your justification and reviewing the articles you have sourced in the entry in more detail, I've re-added the entry, with the wording being more aligned with the first source. Please let me know if you have any comments on the wording. Carter00000 (talk) 14:31, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am fine with that wording. GWA88 (talk) 15:27, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
