[edit] IQ by country

POV list with completely arbitraty criteria, dubious source. Punkmorten 22:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• delete, not a WP:RS.
• Redirect to IQ and the Wealth of Nations with a better and sourced list. Pavel Vozenilek 22:57, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect per Pavel. —Khoikhoi 08:27, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect. Dekimasu 09:28, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete 1. The article lists 34 countries. The external link, which is clearly the source, lists more than 70. 2. The article claims to be about IQ. The source is about 'verbal IQ' - not the same thing. 3. The article is a list of no real value - not comprehensive, sources not cited (but then neither are they in the quoted source). 4. The external link appears to be a biased, axe to grind, sort of set up and of dubious neutrality.
• Merge with Redirect to IQ and the Wealth of Nations. Interesting source, which should be is already in the other article. JASpencer 14:58, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I can see no point in redirecting. Emeraude 11:29, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per Punkmorten.Noroton 04:06, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep article as a redirect only for what JASper said. Anomo 04:22, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect per above. Entirely redundant Spearhead 14:36, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment To quote from IQ and the Wealth of Nations ... Central to the book's thesis is a tabulation of what Lynn and Vanhanen believe to be the average IQs of the world's nations. Rather than do their own IQ studies (a potentially massive project), the authors average and adjust existing studies. ... Since "national IQ" is admittedly bogus, just Delete and don't bother with a redirect ... nothing points to this stupid list, anyway. —141.156.240.102 (talk|contribs) 19:05, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to IQ and the Wealth of Nations . The disputed status of that list pointed by the unregistered user is irrelevant, because the fact is that the book "IQ and the wealth of Nations" uses that list.Nonetheless, the criticism made by the unregistered user should be added to the article about the book.Randroide 12:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
