List of countries by financial assets per capita

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I prodded this article two years ago, giving the explanation "The source of the figures is unclear. The ref gives Household net financial wealth but [not] per capita, and does not give debt figures. This appears to constitute original research." The prod was removed by an anon without explanation or improvement. The article creator (who copied the content from another article per below) then tagged it as needing citations, and it has remained unimproved since. The article seems to have a complicated history having been moved from List of countries by wealth per adult and back to that title, then recreated with an older version of that article. gadfium 04:58, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Various Forms of Iffy - so yes, this article is clearly listing various ways to have issues.
 * Incorrect naming/titling - it really should be renamed as "List of OECD countries by financial assets per household", which would at least make the list relevant to the article
 * Incorrect Citation (not included) - very correct, the citation doesn't back up the figures. I reckon [this] is probably the link wanted
 * Incorrect Citation OR - assuming correct data actually being used, OR becomes an issue. Hoards of links (a quick google brings up a dozen at least) of articles about specific or small numbers of the countries. There are also plenty of books which use the figures, usually in an analysed format rather than something that could be used here (and obviously more out of date than the base figures), e.g. [OECD Factbook]. Trying to find untouched figures given in a secondary source proved difficult.
 * Further Out of Date - the link I gave has multiple figures, including 2011 if selected. the link here is 2011. Seems a bit random to just have these figures, but if so, another tweak to the name will be needed to clarify that.
 * Establishing Notability - not actually a functional reason to delete - there certainly is sufficient consideration of these figures as a group (if nothing else, the individual country consideration is dependent on its ranking within this group), but some links could be added.
