NationMaster
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

In 2006 the AfD verict was "rewrite", well, nobody did so. The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (companies)/Notability (websites) requirement. While it is occasionally cited in mass media, I don't see any articles (newspaper or scholarly), nor books, discussing it. The best I found is, and I don't think that suffices.

 * Delete - As much as NationMaster gets cited as a source in terms of various books, blog posts, etc, actual discussion about the website itself seems pretty rare. I have to pretty much agree with the arguments in the nomination. Popularity is not the same thing as notability, after all. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:54, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Agreed, I found results at News, Books, browser, highbeam and thefreelibrary but nothing that suggests better coverage apart from passing and otherwise trivial mentions. SwisterTwister   talk
