This doesn't really mean anything, and I think it should be deleted. A google search shows nothing on the subject.--Betterone 16:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

An article from Statistics Canada, found by typing "Foreign Affiliate Trade Statistics" into Google, indicates that Foreign Affiliate Trade Statistics is an internationally recognized term. It's specialized and we could use a good international trade statistician to work on the article and make it more comprehensible - but I think that shows a need for the article rather than a reason to delete. -- Siobhan Hansa 17:03, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Remember, Google is not the only source worth considering. Accurately documentng foreign-affiliated trade is actually one of the most important topics in international trade, particularly in the battle against protectionism. DOR (HK) (talk) 04:08, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved to Foreign affiliate trade statistics. Favonian (talk) 21:42, 22 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

As it says, "Collection of such information, and aggregation at the national level, can provide economists and policymakers with insight as to the relationship that transnational corporations, being FDI-related enterprises, have on economies." Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. In addition, WP:MOSCAPS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles. $Tony (talk)$ 10:09, 15 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

PS I stuffed this one up: requested new title is "Foreign affiliate trade statistics".

Support but think you can probably just WP:MOVE most of these. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:00, 15 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
