List of Countries, country subdivisions and cities by GDP

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This list should be deleted as it is WP:INDISCRIMINATE as it is an excessive listing of statistics. It also fails WP:NOTDIR as it is a simple listing with no context. -KAP03(Talk &bull;&#32;Contributions &bull;&#32;Email) 13:35, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Logically, I don't see how it can be an excessive listing of statistics and have basically no content. But yes there's really nothing there in the main body of the list. It appears as if the editor has given up? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:54, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. The comparison between countries, subdivisions (another problem: what's the definition?) and cities is meaningless, just not done in the real world. I could see separate lists of countries and cities, but not this unwieldy mess. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:03, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. As academic research, this is interesting. However, we have this stopper called WP:OR. We can't allow editors to use Wikipedia as their research pad.  Now if this could be tied to secondary reporting of comparative research like this, we might have something.  After all, sometimes we hear that "California has the 7th largest economy in the world" in some political discussions.  Stevie is the man!  Talk • Work 12:37, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Re: “Steve is the man” – thank You for Your remark. This is my original professional research based on the current researches from reliable sources  in  the field economical geography so your argument that is WP:OR is not good. Re: “Clarityfiend” – thank you for your remark. I already improved a lot this article from your last talk entry and now is much mor tidy and not so messy it seems to be at the beginning. Re “Sawn in Montreal” thanks for your comment. You answered already to “KAP03” remark.Mariusok (talk) 14:06, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank You very much for all the remarks and interesting points. I am a brand new Wikipedia editor and I am surprised by the very quick and professional reaction and comments. The article is in the process of creation / inputting based at my professional research. I hope my article will defend by himself because of his scientific professionalism, his innovation, contribution and by his new concept of the subject in the field of Economical Geography. I believe it will be removed soon from this “Articles for deletion”: category.
 * Research based on reliable sources (what we call WP:SYNTHESIS) is still research, and Wikipedia doesn't provide space for that, and that's no matter how well-crafted you may make it. Stevie is the man!  Talk • Work 14:41, 29 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - we do not publish original research in any form and we are not a free web host for research; we are a tertiary source and a charity. Bearian (talk) 01:12, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
