Little coverage of the subject, barely meets the notability guidelines, if at all.  James ( T •  C ) • 1:40pm • 02:40, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Hi James and Theodore. Thanks for the note. I added this article years ago when I did the ref audit on The World Factbook since it seemed to feature prominently on the CIA site. Since then, I haven't touched this article compared to the other. Also as you note, it doesn't seem to have much mainstream mention as the Factbook itself does. I would be more than happy to help merge/redirect this into the World Factbook article if the community thinks its good. - Thanks, Hoshie 04:31, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * On what basis could it be merged into The World Factbook? Is World Leaders part of it?  If so it's curious that this isn't mentioned in the article. —Psychonaut (talk) 16:37, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I was thinking of creating an other publications section to merge this into. There was some mention of World Leaders a while back when I did the ref audit on the World Factbook article, but it seems to have vanished. AFAIK, they are separate publications. - Thanks, Hoshie 06:21, 23 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge/redirect or Keep based on the number of "What links here" - there is evidently a need and demand for this information somewhere somehow on Wikipedia. Sources:
 * Martella, Melanie. "Central bank. (Web Picks)." Sensors Magazine Sept. 2002: 96. General OneFile. GALE|A91658768
 * JSTOR showing five reviews: by The American Political Science Review, Journal of Peace Research, Bulletin of Latin American Research calls it an "exciting source of information". --Green Cardamom (talk) 18:27, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources posted by Green Cardamom, particularly the dedicated reviews. —Psychonaut (talk) 07:00, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Admin note I undid a WP:NAC closure as there isn't any consensus yet for a straight up keep or a merge/redirect and likely needs relisting. No comment on the article. Secret account 02:08, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
