The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
Keep Looking at policy, this article doesn't really violate any of
WP:NOT and is otherwise an acceptable topic for a list. As far as importance and notability, there's actually quite a lot written about coal reserves that demonstrate it's something sources note and view as 'important' and 'relevant'. See, for example, [1][2], [3][4]. Regards,

ISSN1476-4687. New forecasts suggest that coal reserves will run out faster than many believe. Energy policies relying on cheap coal have no future, say Richard Heinberg and David Fridley.
Delete(proposer) Whether countries mine their coal depends on politics and economics not the size of "reserves". Also the list is out of date, does not sort properly and does not define "reserve". The article
Oil reserves says they vary with the price of oil, but I have no idea whether coal reserves vary with the price of coal. Who would find this list useful?.

OK sorry - did not mean to imply anyone else agreed with me. My final comment is that as the source says that remaining reserves in China would last 38 years if production were to continue at the current rate and other countries far longer it would seem that only the China row might conceivably be useful to any reader and that could go in
Coal in China.
Keep per Eddie891 as well as the fact that the page averages over 100 views a day, demonstrating that many people do in fact find it useful.
