I've never proposed an article for deletion before, so apologies if I don't have the process quite right here - but Mobile Internet growth is simply one of the most bizarre and extraneous Wikipedia articles I've ever come across.

1. I don't believe most people would consider "mobile internet growth" to be a discrete subject requiring its own article (as opposed the article on, say, the mobile web)

2. The contents of the article appear to be entirely focused on statistical figures from circa 2009 (note that even the "predicted growth" section merely offers forecasts for the years... 2012 and 2015). Yes this could be updated, but frankly, I don't see much reason for this requiring a standalone article. OmgItsTheSmartGuy (talk) 00:10, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thins discussion was created without the ((afd2)) template and never transcluded to a daily log. Fixed now--I have no opinion of my own on the nomination itself at this time. @OmgItsTheSmartGuy: For future nominations, please fully follow the procedures at WP:AFDHOWTO. Thanks. --Finngall ^talk 15:10, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to a section in the mobile web article and redirect. Limited evidence of notability independent of the parent topic. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 21:04, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment I'll come back when I've perfected a joke involving the word derivative. —Tamfang (talk) 07:01, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge content to Mobile web and make it redirect. My very best wishes (talk) 02:21, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
