May not be notable, as the topic itself has no coverage in RS. This article only lists incidents that it claims to be example of the phenomenon, even though the grouping seems to only exist in this article. PlotinusEnjoyer (talk) 03:06, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This does appear to be notable. Searches of Google Books and Google Scholar show discussion of Anti-Australian sentiment in Timor Leste, Indonesia (Indonesia - anti-Australian sentiment is an index entry in Australia's Foreign Economic Policy and ASEAN (2010) [1]), China, Papua New Guinea (eg "Refugee rift piques PNG's anti Australian sentiment" in Eureka Street in 2017 [2]), in Asia generally [3] and [4]. There are articles about Anti-British sentiment, Anti-Americanism, Anti-French sentiment, etc, so why wouldn't there be one on ant-Australian sentiment? Australia may not have (or have had) as much influence in the world as those countries, but particularly in its relations with near neighbours (and its former territory, Papua New Guinea), its influence is not always felt as positive. The referencing currently in the article is not good, but the need for improvement is not a reason to delete. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:05, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Most Keep votes are not based in policy or sources. Notability has to be established by secondary sources and a source review would be helpful here.

• Keep per RebeccaGreen, who presented a number of secondary sources clearly establishing that the topic meets WP:GNG. There are plenty of additional examples that could be used to expand the article as well — for instance, the history of anti-Australian sentiment in Nauru [5] [6], or the various waves of anti-Australian sentiment in India [7] [8] [9] [10], or increasing anti-Australian sentiment in China [11]. And I'm sure if I did a proper dive into offline sources there would be plenty more historical coverage, particularly surrounding Australia's roles in Timor Leste and PNG. I think there's more than enough coverage of the topic to satisfy WP:GNG. MCE89 (talk) 15:38, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
