Delete, just a list of statistics. JIP | Talk 05:22, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Wikipedia includes many of the elements of an almanac, including such tables, which are an extension of the information at Demographics of Australia. It's appropriate here in some manner--it could be combined; it could be a subpage; it could be a separate space, it could be a separate project. The easiest thing to do is to let it be where it is.

Keep A very encyclopedic topic. One of the things Wikipedia strives for, is to be an encyclopedia, an almanac, and various other things. Dream Focus 07:23, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. More than just stats; an encyclopaedic topic. The article just needs some more prose. --Mkativerata (talk) 07:48, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:NOT#STATS unless anyone is going to seriously rewrite this into a prose article in next few days. all this information is kept up to date at www.abs.gov.au LibStar (talk) 13:48, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Seems like a notable topic to me. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 17:17, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ITSNOTABLE should be avoided. LibStar (talk) 01:27, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Demographics of Australia. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 20:37, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Demographics of Australia. Useful data, but not worthy of its own article. Tzu Zha Men (talk) 20:56, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTSTATS. This is not an encyclopedia article, and does not appear to be a subpage of one. It is just a collection of indiscriminate statistics. Dew Kane (talk) 04:13, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment WP:NOTSTATS states articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader this article contains no real explanation for the general reader. LibStar (talk) 04:43, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
