List of countries by intentional homicide rate by decade

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Per WP:NOTDATABASE this concept is trying to do too much. This article tries to list every yearly murder rate ever published for each country. It's unreadable even though it's incomplete - if complete, it would house 20,000+ data points and no guidance to the reader on which parts are supposed to stick out. There are better ways to represent these data: perhaps line graph by region (neighbors rarely differ much). If any notable trends exist, then editors should make them obvious to readers, not just assail them with raw data. Wizmut (talk) 15:39, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete under WP:CROSSCAT and WP:NOTDB -- This exactly the kind of complex, intersectional list that makes it so hard to establish a firm policy on cross-categorical lists. As the nom suggests, it is trying to do too much. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 17:41, 20 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete. Trying to do too much. I think some of the data here per country could be folded into the countries' respective articles on crime (if it was reliable and complete, which it doesn't seem to be, so let's not do that) and while I think the list without the 'by decade' part is fine, this is complicated and useless due to its inherent incompleteness spoiling the point.
