The result was no consensus. Sorry, but there were just too many WP:ILIKEIT-type comments on both sides for a meaningful consensus to emerge. Sandstein 06:49, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] International rankings of the United States
Unencyclopedic list, WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International rankings of Singapore. Delete. – Chacor 07:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

- Keep and expand with an explanation for each category and ranking so it is more than a list. Very useful and a good read. It is not indiscriminate at all, its a very well defined article. It just needs more text to place the information in context. IT can be merged into the United States article but that article is already too large and is already being broken into smaller articles. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 20:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Merge to relevant lists. It is useful to have ranking information but not isolated from the competitors, as it says nothing about who and - more important - why other countries are ahead or behind. Alf photoman 21:04, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, the rankings are always of interests and informative. It's kinda like the CIA factbook, but has the potential to be better, more comprehensive, more updated, and well-referenced; unlike the CIA which does not reference the sources. --Vsion 06:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Look at the site (again). It's a useful short compilation of sources for national rankings, that additionally gives the US rank. This is a useful grouping which I do not think appears elsewhere in WP. All they need is a more descriptive title. Quite different from an indiscriminate collection of information. Keep it and I'll find a title: I suggest: Sources for national rankings..DGG 05:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
