 * Delete Article in deviation of WP:N and WP:CFORK policies, page created out of chutzpah. Izzedine (talk) 18:23, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The information seems valuable and sourced. I don't really understand the title though. It seems like a data page comparing Middle Eatern countries. And it includes palestinian refugee numbers. Is there a way to include it appropriately? ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:37, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It lacks any context to identify the purpose of the article. It is non-notable and shouldn't be an article, it's a content fork. The person who created it even included non-Arab countries. We all know why it was created and it's about time we do something about it. Izzedine (talk) 19:08, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Why was it created? I only see one non-Middle Eastern Country and it's indicated that it's inclusion is to provide a kind of baseline for comparison (presumably by providing a European/ western country for comparison). I think it's a very useful and interesting table and it would be a pity to lose it. Perhaps it needs modification and some outside the box thinking on how to make it more encyclopedic and appropriate as far as article titling and content.

 * Merge the sourced material to Arab-Israeli conflict where it belongs.— S Marshall  Talk / Cont  22:08, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What use is a huge table listing the country stats for every Arabic speaking country and Israel plonked in the middle of the Arab-Israeli conflict article. That's the reason why it was created in the first place, because they wouldn't get away with doing that, for crying out loud. Izzedine (talk) 00:57, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia isn't a collection of indiscriminate information. This data lacks any context and looks like WP:SYNTH. Finally, the data bears no direct relationship with the title of the "article". — Malik Shabazz 01:50, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Agree with the others that a table like this is pretty indiscriminate Corpx (talk) 04:59, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Malik Shabazz. —Ynhockey (Talk) 05:59, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - this information is available in the articles on the countries individually and in articles such as List of indices of freedom. And what Malik Shabazz said. Nableezy (talk) 06:35, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Malik Shabazz. Niteshift36 (talk) 09:13, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Request Would the closing admin mind userfying it for me? I think it's interesting. No one has answered on why it was created and I'm not seeing the nefarious purpose that seems to be implied. I think it contains a lot of interesting and encyclopedic information, although I'm the first to admit I'm not sure exactly how best to include it appropriately.

 * Delete per Malik Shabazz. This article (whose purpose I don't really understand) should have been nominated for speedy deletion. --Al Ameer son (talk) 05:44, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge. Info seems quite valuable. --Lanternix (talk) 09:42, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not seem to serve any purpose at all. --Athenean (talk) 23:41, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
