Welsh fiscal deficit
- ... that the Welsh fiscal deficit was higher than Greece's throughout the Greek government-debt crisis? Source: Compare Exhibit 2 in this source with the first graph in the Welsh fiscal deficit article (can also be found here

Article was created on 23 April, is long enough, appears neutral, cites sources inline, no apparent copyvio. Hook is interesting and meets requirements, its verification requires comparing two sources but this seems fine (the period of the Greek government-debt crisis is not defined in the article but the comparison is true across all recent time periods presented in the article and in the sources so that doesn't seem to matter). QPQ done. Whizz40 (talk) 19:51, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but I'm not as adept at comparing charts as Whizz40 seems to be and I'm finding it hard to verify the hook fact. Why are you even comparing the Welsh fiscal crisis to that of Greece? Yoninah (talk) 22:38, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
- Yoninah, This NYT article makes the compraison, but it is from 2012 so it can't be cited for the entire period. If you look at the graph the worst Greek deficit was in 2009, when the Greek deficit was 15% and the Welsh deficit was 30%. For other years the Greek deficit has been 13% or less, while the Welsh deficit has been greater than 15%. buidhe 04:06, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
