Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. We don't need an article for each year the HDI was calculated. In addition HDI information for each year is free at the UN website. CG 20:50, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - List of countries by Human Development Index has updated data. Perhaps the content of the 2005 article ought to be moved to an archive file on the main article's talk page. Black Falcon 22:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. The current version is all we need. The HDI goes back to 1990. The raw values for each year are not comparable across years (due to changing formula). Wikipedia is not an archive of raw historical data. See also comments made at Featured list candidates/List of countries by Human Development Index, 2005. Colin°Talk 11:56, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment*. The article does not need to be updated because, although there has been new information gathered, people may still very well be interested in what the evaluation of past years may be for their own personal use or for comparison in an essay or research. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.131.185.46 (talk) 05:36, 8 February 2007 (UTC).
