I don't find this article particularly encyclopedic. Oleg Alexandrov 03:39, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge, as per Radiant, below Oleg Alexandrov 09:25, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Gibberish. Delete. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 04:24, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I have now spent 1 E2 s voting on this.  brenneman (t) (c)  07:03, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep perfectly acceptable. Needs expansion, is all. Grutness...  wha?  07:31, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge the entire Category:Orders of magnitude (population), simply because it's more comprehensive that way. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 08:58, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, and the rest of that category, WP:NOT a random collection of information. There are infinitely many of these pages to be made and the 'features' of each order of magnitude can be (and probably are) already mentioned in their various articles, or on timelines somewhere if the events are related. Nothing connects the articles together apart from a coincidence that they are, approximately, on the same time scale. -Splash 14:19, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete,arbitrary list of groups that have to have 100-1000 people with nothing in common (i.e. no context), can not be complete, (and horribly named). RJFJR 16:07, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge per Radiant, not even sure that merged article would be much good to anyone, but I guess it could be and it sure as hell beats this super-excessive granularity. Dcarrano 23:49, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Category:Orders of magnitude (population). JamesBurns 04:22, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * As I was part of the group (about five people) who started Category:Orders of magnitude (population), I can't be in favor of deletion. However, I have no problem with merging them into a single page. It would be more impressive that way, which was the point. By the bye, why are orders of magnitude for time, space, etc. allowable but those for population are not? Alba 23:02, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
