List of salaries of heads of state and government

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

While the list would be interesting, it is mostly empty. There are some media articles on few select countries, but there does not seem to be a comprehensive list of state leader salaries and putting one together would be original research.

 * Keep. While the list is indeed still empty at the moment (oct 2015), I disagree it should be removed. It is a quite important issue/article. As other comparison articles have proven, lists are often filled in quickly once the article becomes more popular. Info added isn't necessarily original research; as long as the data comes from respectable sources, this isn't an issue.

 * Keep While the list does look empty, it's mostly because the creator aimed high with every nation out there. Most users going to this list will find what they're looking for. It certainly needs work (and I'll try to add a few myself), but not having enough entries is hardly grounds for deletion. It's notable, encyclopedic, relevant, and easily verified (salaries tend to be encoded in statute).--69.204.153.39 (talk) 01:27, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep: This is an interesting list and should be on Wikipedia. It can be improved. But it may take time, we should keep this in mainspace so that other users and some random IPs can write about their nation once they get notice of this list. If we delete it then certainly there will be no such kind of list again ever, no one will create so big table again.-- Human 3015   TALK   21:37, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
