I think WP:INDISCRIMINATE was written for articles like this, and I'm somewhat surprised that this article has been in existence for almost three years now without being challenged. The last thing we need is more arbitrary lists of countries (emphasis on arbitrary). Is this particular grouping useful? Quite possibly, but all the information is obviously already available here (in separate articles), as well as covered on hundreds of other websites. There is certainly no need for a stand-alone list. IgnorantArmies (talk) 12:48, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I suppose if that's the consensus but I'm not entirely sure how useful this is to kept. SwisterTwister talk 01:49, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please Dont delete this !! This gives a list of currencies for all the countries and the wiki page is loading faster which is better than other ad-filled websites. It is very much useful for various exams in India. Whenever I search currency and capital of countries wiki in google, this comes first and helps a lot for exam preparation. From My point it is useful for exams

  • Delete, although it pains me to hurt someone's chances at passing an exam. This article truly adds nothing to the encyclopedia. If I need to know the capital or the currency of any particular country, I can just go to the article on the country. I agree with the nominator -- there is no need for a stand-alone list.

  • Dont Delete We have multiple pages for leaders like Obama, Modi and others. Why cant be have such a comprehensive page for listing out all the capitals. I challenge you - If I ask you to list 150 nations capital cities, will you be opening wiki pages of 150 countries??? Doesnt your argument seem absurd?? There are lot of other fake pages to be deleted including fake IDs. Your argument seems like you want to earn some points from Wiki and you do not bother about the type of pages.
