E7 (countries)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This is a flashy term coined by a company which has occasionally been regurgitated by low-quality sources. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The purpose of the encyclopedia is not to advertise slogans and labels that companies bandy about to advertise their services. The term overlaps with terms such as Emerging market, Newly industrialized country, Emerging and growth-leading economies and half a dozen similar concepts. If there is anything worth keeping in this article (there isn't), then the content should be merged with any of the aforementioned articles. Thenightaway (talk) 01:57, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Never heard of this term ever before. REDISCOVERBHARAT (talk) 07:06, 7 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete as the article contains nothing but a number of predictions about when the E7 will overtake the G7. The term has been used by a number of RS, but there is a distinct lack of sources about the E7. Cortador (talk) 17:31, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I can find lots of academic sources when I search "E7 countries" or "Emerging 7 countries" in google scholar. Might be notable. -- 94rain  Talk  02:22, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * None of the sources that I see in my Google Scholar search are from esteemed journals. All are from unknown journals, including some published by predatory publishers Thenightaway (talk) 11:18, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * How would you determine a journal is "esteemed"? First I want to state that I'm aware that WP:NJOURNALS is merely an essay. But it's worth noting that several journals where these sources are from have an assigned impact factor as per the Journal Citation Reports and some are even pretty high (Typically, the average is below 1, many do not even have an assigned impact factor). I randomly selected 4. The question is if these count as SIGCOV and I'll leave it to you or the community to decide (Please see the Source assessment table). -- 94rain  Talk  09:34, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete I agree with the nominator - anyway Russia is no longer emerging economically - it is spending its big reserves and will eventually run out and do the opposite of 'emerge' if Putin remains in power
