Talk:Foreign affiliate trade statistics

[Untitled]
This doesn't really mean anything, and I think it should be deleted. A google search shows nothing on the subject.--Betterone 16:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * An article from Statistics Canada, found by typing "Foreign Affiliate Trade Statistics" into Google, indicates that Foreign Affiliate Trade Statistics is an internationally recognized term. It's specialized and we could use a good international trade statistician to work on the article and make it more comprehensible - but I think that shows a need for the article rather than a reason to delete. -- Siobhan Hansa 17:03, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Remember, Google is not the only source worth considering. Accurately documentng foreign-affiliated trade is actually one of the most important topics in international trade, particularly in the battle against protectionism. DOR (HK) (talk) 04:08, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

As it says, "Collection of such information, and aggregation at the national level, can provide economists and policymakers with insight as to the relationship that transnational corporations, being FDI-related enterprises, have on economies." Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. In addition, WP:MOSCAPS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles.

 * Support but think you can probably just WP:MOVE most of these. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:00, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
