Talk:Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database

Notability
The FAOSTAT database is well respected and heavily used. Perhaps there are few external citations because the importance and reliability of the data generally goes unquestioned. While I certainly support efforts to collect and include secondary references, I would oppose deletion of this article on a vital information source. I’ll keep a lookout for references that can document my claim. See the Earth Policy Institute Data center, http://www.earth-policy.org/data_center/C24 for an example of a well-respected heavy user of the data. The important book "Limits to Growth" also relies on this data. I am sure there are many others. --Lbeaumont (talk) 13:54, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
