 *  Comment Delete  The article was created in 2010 with data from this site. I can't find the relevant data, but maybe that's me. In 2011 the NT figure was changed without explanation, and in March 2014 the data values were left in place but the state names were changed, again without explanation. At the very best, the data is 5 years out of date but, because the states were changed, the information could be completely wrong. At this point I'm heading towards a delete based on this. I'm now convinced this should be deleted. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 02:37, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
 * delete the Human Development Index is intended to compare countries, not states and territories within the same country. LibStar (talk) 09:57, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per LibStar. Ranking apples by their orangeness isn't going to fly. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:12, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nom. The numbers seem so incredibly wrong when compared to Australia's listings in Human Development Index that there is no point trying to merge it to a different article about the states. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:03, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete, per WP:V, not verifiable based on the link in the page. Lankiveil (speak to me) 22:59, 12 November 2015 (UTC).
 * Delete Even if this could be verified, it's not a common or useful way of comparing Australian states and territories given that Australia is a highly developed country, with the only significant differences being at the local community level (eg, remote Indigenous Australian towns vs elsewhere).
