The result was Delete per original research concerns, without reliable secondary sources showing that a comparison between these two particular budgets is notable this article must be a synthesis and fall foul of original reasearch. Davewild (talk) 11:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2000 to 2007 Federal Budget Comparison[edit]

This well meaning entry is original research in that it attempts to take two discrete sets of facts and synthesize a comparison. It also appears to push a point of view, in that it is comparing the budgets before and after the US' declaration of the Iraq war. I don't see this article as salvagable, other than maybe Wikisource or unless there is some critical debate on these 2 years' budgets that I am unaware of Mbisanz (talk) 10:41, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't really encyclopedic material; however if these two particular years are notable/important in any way then the comparison should be merged as a section of the article United States federal budget, 2007 (which is also low on refs and begs for a general cleanup of sorts).

Delete the material is an original synthesis, and doesn't add anything that wouldn't be in an article on Federal bubdget over time. If such an article was notable so would approximatly 230 times 230 divided by 2 other articles comparing 1793 with 1924 and so on and on. That would be about 25,000 articles- which would help to push up the article count I suppose. Lobojo (talk) 13:37, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
