List of countries by GDP per capitia (PPP) adjusted for inflation in 1980

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article was created over a month ago. At the time the creator asked for time to develop it so I removed my speedy tag. But over a month on there hasn't been much development. Although the info in the article can no doubt be verified as correct, I just don't see how it's notable (and therefore worthy of an article). Jenks24 (talk) 08:56, 14 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - Sufficiently covered by List of countries by GDP (PPP) and List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita. It's not clear why 1980 is so important and Template:Inflation will output 1980 inflation adjustment in other GDP (PPP) articles if there is a need. (It looks like the article was created from a "this-is-the-Wikipedia-account-I-use-to-cause-trouble" account.) -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 13:27, 14 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. Uzma Gamal's rationale is pretty compelling for me. I'm also curious as to why 1980 is so important. --Quartermaster (talk) 13:57, 14 February 2011 (UTC)#
 * Comment 1980 was a great year. Historical GDP lists would be very interesting and if sourceable would be encyclopedic.  Not sure this article succeeds but GDP over time is notable. MLA (talk) 20:51, 14 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment I wrote this article becouse I was frustrated that the GDP data for countries in the past was always in the dollar vallue of that year making comparisions across time unrealistic. 1980 is important becouse it is the first year the IMF gives comprehensive data for countries GDP. If other past GDP per capita lists are ajusted for inflation then there would be no longer a need for this article, but until then I think this article is the only one that shows, really, how countries have gotten richer or poorer over time. (compare Korea and kenya then and now).--J intela (talk) 21:39, 14 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Reply to Comment: Actually, that makes a lot of sense. I'm moving from Delete to Neutral Leaning Towards Keep. I'm not sure how to proceed, but time series data based on seminal dates is . . . a good reason for keeping. Let's keep discussing. Might need a redirect to something more relevant and searchable? GDB Baseline or something? Or merging this data in the GDP article? Your point is important and confusing. --Quartermaster (talk) 01:26, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
