The result was delete. The charts are actually templates so can be incorporated into other articles if desired without requiring a merge. I have placed a list of them on the talk page here should anyone wishes to follow this up. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 03:18, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

List of countries by population (graphical)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A fork of List of countries by population that I don't think adds anything to the project, other than providing another venue for facts to be updated. I'm very happy to be convinced otherwise, but right now this page is hard to read, out of date, and superfluous to the data that already exists on the list page. — foxj 19:45, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge, the graphs seem pretty useful for visual comparison and can be merged into the other page without the page becoming too large.--Prisencolin (talk) 21:36, 10 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. Unfortunately, the charts include a mishmash of more than just countries - continents, territories, the West Bank and the European Union - and are thus unsalvageable (and out of date). Clarityfiend (talk) 04:00, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment Like written above, this is fairly unsalvageable. It even says the numbers are from the year 2005. In addition the graphs are hard to decipher. All we can utilize is the knowledge that such a graphical template exists on Wikipedia. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 16:19, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
