[edit] CountrySTAT

reads like non-notable organization spam, author refuses to clean it up Adolphus79 22:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep, organization is a subsection of United Nations/FAO. If not expanded substantially in the next few days, then Merge FAO Travelbird 22:31, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Like World Agricultural Trade Flow and World Agricultural Trade Matrix, this article is not about an organization, but about a statistical tool used by the FAO. Since this information will be uninteresting to most readers of FAO, I suggest that these three articles should be merged to a FAO statistical tools article rather than to FAO. 132.239.90.209 21:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep The FAO is a United Nations organisation - hardly non-notable! This is useful and encyclopaedic, BlueValour 17:02, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and Cleanup or Delete - The article had four external links to a single software company's site. I eliminated three, but I'm not sure the fourth needs to stay. I think all of the articles that 132.239.90.209 suggested merging are excellent candidates for merging - none establish notability on their own in my eyes, but as a group they offer the beginnings of a good article. Of course, given that the general level of statisical illiteracy is (necessarilly) higher than the general level of mathematical illiteracy, I don't know how many readers such an article will attract, but it would be more helpful to them than each tool having its own article.
