List of continents by population

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not worthy of its own article. Information is available on articles for specific continents, as well as articles covering all of the continents.--Maidstoneuk (talk) 23:41, 10 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete &mdash; Article is completely non-noteworthy, and information does not require its own article.--82.45.79.122 (talk) 23:45, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - It's a little bit almanacky, but this is good content in my opinion. The sort of thing that people would look for in a comprehensive encyclopedia. Keep under the policy of WP:IGNOREALLRULES, at a minimum. Carrite (talk) 02:40, 11 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - Per Wikipedia's Five pillars, Wikipedia also serves to present objective almanac-style content. Northamerica1000(talk) 03:07, 11 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - As things currently stand, all the information in this article is not available in other articles, and even if that was changed, no other article could enable such easy comparison of how the populations of different regions and continents have changed over time - the alternative would be endless flipping between several articles.

 * Delete - As others have said, this information is not worthy of its own article. There isn't even a proper list of continents. Definite delete.--92.20.148.198 (talk) 19:51, 13 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - Information can be found on the individual articles, AND the article for world population as a whole. Completely unnecessary article.--SimonAndGarfunkel22 (talk) 21:10, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
 * setting apart Carrite, PaleCloudedWhite and Northamerica1000 the other two accounts and IPs are ✅ puppets basing on a check I did on another project. --Vituzzu (talk) 15:18, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I suspected as much. Just for the sake of clarity of your statement, I'm assuming you meant to insert a comma after "Northamerica1000"? PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 15:40, 15 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment - Going back to what I said previously, all relevant information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population#Population_by_region - there is no reason for this to have its own article when it is completely available elsewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.20.148.198 (talk) 22:03, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
