:If those were the only problems, deletion would not be necessary. However, I do not think that this topic is notable. The news coverage cited in the article draw extensively on a single press release.[http://www2.le.ac.uk/ebulletin/news/press-releases/2000-2009/2006/07/nparticle.2006-07-28.2448323827] The research itself appears to be published in a minor journal. A Google Scholar search for the phrase, “Satisfaction with Life Index,” found only eight hits, some of which predated the research described in the Wikipedia article.[http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%E2%80%9CSatisfaction+with+Life+Index%E2%80%9D&hl=en&lr=&btnG=Search] A search for the phrase, “World Map of Happiness,” got only a dozen hits.[http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%E2%80%9CWorld+Map+of+Happiness%E2%80%9D&hl=en&lr=&btnG=Search] The article that the map is based on has been cited only two times.[http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22A+Global+Projection+of+Subjective+Well-being%3A+A+Challenge%22&hl=en&lr=&btnG=Search] I cannot justify keeping this article.--[[User:FreeKresge|FreeKresge]] ([[User talk:FreeKresge|talk]]) 19:16, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
::Regarding copyvivo, raw data itself cannot be copyrighted. It is merely one component of the [[Happy Planet Index]] which has 55 citations in Google scholar. The map is notable since it has been cited by mainstream news sources like the BBC. "Satisfaction with Life Index" gets 6,500 hits in Goggle [http://www.google.com/search?name=f&hl=en&q=%22satisfaction+with+life+index%22] and "World Map of Happiness" gets 17,000 [http://www.google.com/search?name=f&hl=en&q=%22World+Map+of+happiness%22].
