Economic Forecast of Panama

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Classic example of what wikipedia is not.

Economic forecasts will change often, and with problematic citations. There's not a unifying concept here either that's talked about in notable sources. Shadowjams (talk) 09:09, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Looks like WP:Synthesis to me. Abductive  (reasoning) 09:38, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with Economy of Panama. As per nom, this will change forever, like writing Current Events in the United States, and as such is unencyclopedic.  But I see no problem in having a section in the economy article on GDP forecasts - it wouldn't be any different than polls in election articles. Joshdboz (talk) 11:26, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Yes, its fits fine here Economy_of_Panama. Plus, its a more logical place for people to look when seeking information on Panama's ecomony. --Milowent (talk) 15:43, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

 * merge the information is usable, and not OR, since its just the collection of sourced information, not drawing conclusion from it, but it does not warrant a separate article.    DGG ( talk ) 00:13, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge or Delete, articles that are pure stats are verbotten under WP:NOT. Also, it kind of is problematic from a WP:NOTCRYSTAL perspective. Abductive  (reasoning) 00:20, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I say it's OR because not only is it making small conclusions about the data now ("Because the real estate supply began in April 2009 an adjustment process downwards") but because the selection and framing of the stats is going to be OR. If it was "forecasts" or had some indication it was a survey of available data (the chart is fine) then it'd just have stats issues. But the way it's going it looks a lot like a conclusion as to what the forecast is. Shadowjams (talk) 06:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete' I agree with Eusebeus - to the extent that anything in this article should be saved, it belongs in Economy of Panama. As that has taken place, there's no need to retain this article. (Whether that material belongs in any article is an open question in my mind, but there's no justification of a separate article.) SPhilbrick  T  17:54, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
