Countries whose citizens have never won a Nobel Prize

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unencyclopedic list of WP:TRIVIA. Previously prodded, but the article creator removed the prod template with the rationale that "This information at it not easily available. Information gathered by comparing the Nobel Winners list at the Nobelprize.org with Wikipedia countries by population." (It isn't easily available because it's about as needed as "List of actors who never won an Academy Award" or "List of Presidents of the United States who never made a state visit to Luxembourg", and the information-gathering method flies right in the face of WP:NOR. But I digress.) In truth, I'd love to speedy this as patently unnecessary, but it doesn't fit any speedy criterion that I can see. But it's still a no-brainer delete, methinks.

Delete, dubious encyclopedic value, unsourced (the information does not appear in the source given). Hairhorn (talk) 03:08, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not a notable intersection. a list of countries whose citizens have won, yes. a list (if any), of major industrialized countries without awards, that would be notable. but most countries dont have the support to produce nobel winning citizens. most of them would move to countries which can support research.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:25, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
