 * Delete It's a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of the other article named, and not a particularly necessary one, since the older article already includes GDP% in its tables. The share of government spending isn't included in the older article, but if it's needed could be added there. PohranicniStraze (talk) 15:58, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep or Merge This is not a redundant article since they are essentially different lists and are released so by SIPRI and IISS. If it was a single list, then SIPRI or IISS would not release this as different ones. One list focuses on the list of countries with largest military budgets while the other list focuses on it being a share of the GDP and third is the percentage of govt spending. These lists cannot be merged into a single table for CR reasons. Adamgerber80 (talk) 22:11, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge - This is not redundant as it has different criteria, though several overlaps, which requires separate tables. It is related and essentially FORK; and should be put into multiple tables/sections within one article. ...GELongstreet (talk) 15:03, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
