 * Delete - it's a complete mess. apparently subject to a lot of vandalism. not clear where the numbers come from but none of it matches what I find on IMF site for 2017 GDP (PPP). Not sure why someone would pick projected numbers and not actual historical numbers. Forecasts change (that's probably why all the numbers look wrong now) and will certainly be different when actual values are determined.Glendoremus (talk) 06:46, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep: Obviously, this article was vandalized recently by series of IPs. I reverted the edits to the stable version. I also flagged the article at the protection requests page. These are steps that should have been taken, not a deletion nomination.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 12:33, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of African countries by GDP (nominal) and drop the parenthesis from the title. More useful to readers to have both sets of figures in one sortable table Noyster (talk),  10:45, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: This is not the case though with other List of GDP articles on Wikipedia. The norm is typically to have separate articles.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 12:34, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep Consistent with other pages on GDP, and the vandalism seems to have been dealt with. Even if it isn't, persistent vandalism is a reason for protection, not deletion. Smartyllama (talk) 17:11, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Deletion rationale and some !votes cite errors stemming from vandalism. That is clearly not a valid reason for deletion. AusLondonder (talk) 00:17, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
