Timeline of House Prices Sold in the United States

Can't really see that this is a suitable topic for an article (houses cost more as time goes by, so what?? & without adjustment for inflation the figures are meaningless): I imagine there is a suitable redirect target, however TheLongTone (talk) 14:16, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:RAWDATA. No redirect, as the title is ungrammatical (prices aren't sold). Clarityfiend (talk) 18:57, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - This fails RAWDATA and seems to be OR, as it is based only on a primary source. Smmurphy(Talk) 23:12, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete title is not suitable for becoming a redirect. D4iNa4 (talk) 14:49, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Lacks context and, as noted, does seem to be original research. Dunarc (talk) 19:37, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

You are right about the bad title. Instead of deleting the article, the title should be corrected to "Timeline of House Prices in the United States". The reason I used the word "sold" is to make it more accurate and closer to the source's title, but I didn't realize how awkward it sounds at the time. The article is useful to anyone who studies housing. People often want the original prices too, and not the prices adjusted for inflation. It seems incomplete to leave these prices out of all the housing articles on Wikipedia. This article is similar in nature to Timeline of the United States housing bubble. If Timeline of House Prices in the United States does not exist, then maybe it's prices should be added to Timeline of the United States housing bubble. Those who write articles for Wikipedia are criticized for both unoriginal research and original research, oddly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PMG123 (talk • contribs) 22:50, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
