The result was redirect to Gross domestic product#Determining GDP. Nobody wants to keep this separate as of now. Can be spun out later again via WP:SS. If there are concerns about the redirect, consider WP:RFD. Sandstein 11:30, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a mess, to put it lightly. It reads vaguely like my college notes from freshman year. This content is covered in a much more comprehensive and encyclopedic manner at GDP#Determining GDP. Since the components of GDP and the methods of calculation are crucial to understanding the concept, this is not a good candidate for a split. ~ Rob^Talk 02:28, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Gross domestic product#Determining GDP Duplicates Gross domestic product per nom, and WP:NOTGUIDE anyway. 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 02:54, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm weakly opposed to a redirect. There has been at least weak consensus that WP:NOTGUIDE applies to redirects in the past. I would consider that redirect to suggest that the reader will find guide-like content on the target page, which they will not. Also, GDP does not contain any discussion of the processes used to actually measure GDP as this redirect would suggest (i.e. what the various governmental agencies do to collect data). It only discusses calculating the value if you already know the values of components. Pinging Hisashiyarouin in case they care to comment on this. ~ Rob^Talk 03:34, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I'd redirect, but some strong concern has been raised against such an outcome. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 04:02, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm unsure because it's not bad as a guide, but there are essentially no citations. If kept, it needs to be trimmed extensively. Bearian (talk) 13:08, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
