WP:NOTDATABASE. Seemingly arbitrary selection of dates, with little context and mostly copied from an external site. Seems like a Wikidata thing, not really an enwiki thing. Mdann52 (talk) 19:48, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete Informative article but it's a mere database. Dympies (talk) 07:03, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTDATABASE. A lot of arbitrary information that isn't really encyclopedic. Ajf773 (talk) 09:41, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep Please read what WP:NOTDATABASE actually says. It does not say no databases, only no invalid ones, giving specific examples.  Five pillars states Wikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers.   D r e a m Focus  20:00, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes - I'm thinking particularly of WP:NOTSTATS here. It's a series of exchange rates on certain years, with no explanation as to the significance of the dates or why they were picked, nor the methodology to work out the rate, not the actual dates the stats were taken on, just the year. This really doesn't read like an encyclopaedic article at all to me, nor am I sure how it can be transformed into one. Mdann52 (talk) 07:34, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * History of the global economy was what I was thinking. How the currencies of other nations over time became more or less valuable than the America dollar, as evidence by how many of them are needed to trade for a dollar.  Most of the dates are every ten years.  Not sure why it changes for the five most recent ones.   D r e a m Focus  15:27, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Maybe - but this article very much doesn't give that. Risking getting off topic, the USD exchange rate in Jan 2008 was very different than June 2008, and this article as it currently is wouldn't capture the context there. I'm not against an article going through how events have affected the value - but in it's current form the information presented is without context and not encyclopaedic, and it would need so much work to get it into shape that it would need to be rewritten again from scratch.
