This page should be deleted because, first, it is just a POV fork of 2006 Winter Olympics medal count. In summary, because editors who pushed for inclusion of the diploma counts on the medal page were told that it would not be appropriate due to a long-standing precedent not to include them, the new page (the diploma page) was created so that, in my opinion, they could get their way.
Besides being a POV fork, this page has no standing because it is original research (I've never been able to find a site that counts diplomas for rankings) and does not cite its sources. The IOC has never advocated such a table, so it is my opinion that Wikipedia should not have one either. While diploma counts may put an interesting twist on the rankings, there is just no standing for them; medals are what really count. └Jared┘┌t┐ 13:18, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I know this exists and can be extracted from the number of 4th–8th ranking positions, but I've never seen anywhere sources to reference such table and in Wikipedia this is called original research, so it has to go. Parutakupiu talk || contribs 22:29, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, original research and synthesis, to answer a question not previously considered notable by any reliable source. Fun afternoon research project, no doubt, but not encyclopedic. --Dhartung | Talk 06:04, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
