In 2006 the AfD verict was "rewrite", well, nobody did so. The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies)/Wikipedia:Notability (websites) requirement. While it is occasionally cited in mass media, I don't see any articles (newspaper or scholarly), nor books, discussing it. The best I found is [1], and I don't think that suffices.

  • Delete - As much as NationMaster gets cited as a source in terms of various books, blog posts, etc, actual discussion about the website itself seems pretty rare. I have to pretty much agree with the arguments in the nomination. Popularity is not the same thing as notability, after all. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:54, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Agreed, I found results at News, Books, browser, highbeam and thefreelibrary but nothing that suggests better coverage apart from passing and otherwise trivial mentions. SwisterTwister talk
