Late-twentieth century commodity prices

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  AfD statistics)

This page started with a garbled partial copy from a news article and has not progressed since. Various editors have had a hand in it, but it has not improved since its inception in 2005, and probably never will since it is a dead end. The links to the page are all insubstantial (try and follow them back) and it is, to all intents and purposes, an orphan. I cannot envisage anyone actually looking for this article (I got it as a Random article) and there does not appear to be any information here worth saving that is not already covered elsewhere.

 * delete - a random small piece of statistics and without any encyclopedic discusiion. WP is not a non-discriminate collection of information. - Altenmann >t 23:21, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. There might be room for a discussion of trends in Commodities during a particular decade (as with the general article 2000s in economics, for example), but this particular topic is too narrow for a meaningful article. This ignores the fact that the article is malformed, unresearched, unsourced, and in dire need of significant work. Even if the topic is notable, it would be better to start over with a clean slate.
