[edit] Richest countries in the world

Ambiguous title, already List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal) so no value. Erwin Walsh

• Redirect to page indicated. -R. fiend 20:40, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

I might have recommended that, however the title is too ambiguous as "rich" has many different interpretations. Erwin Walsh

Well, I think anyone doing such a search will be looking for GDP, or at least won't be disappointed to find it. I doubt they'll be trying to find out who makes the fudgiest brownies, for example. -R. fiend 20:54, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect per R. Fiend. (Norway, incidentally, has the fudgiest brownies, according to The Economist's Quarterly Fudge Report.) JDoorjam 21:32, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Why should it be redirected to nominal GDP rather than by purchasing power parity or some other measure? Are we talking about the standard of living of the people, or how much the whole country could spend if it went shopping in the rest of the world? Kappa 22:31, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• I agree with the deletion of this article. Title is ambiguous and it's a copy-paste list from an already existing article List of countries by GDP (nominal), plus this list is an estimated for 2005 not the definitive figures. If this is not gonna be deleted, it should be based in facts not in estimations. AlexCovarrubias 02:05, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
• Should just be a redirect to List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal). As above. Proto t c 10:11, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
• redirect per Proto --Vizcarra 21:24, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
