Deletion of List of countries by population (United Nations)

Comment: I'm not convinced that  applies – I don't think this article meets the standard of blatant or unambiguous infringement. What's been copied here is not text in the usual sense, but a selection of data – essentially two columns from a spreadsheet that contains 800+ columns of data. That brings up two issues. First,  does not make it explicitly clear that data and factual information should be treated in exactly the same way as any other original written content. The omission is potentially significant, because data and Copyright in compilation|compilations of data don't always receive the same standards of copyright protection as other creative works. Second, even if we assume that there's no difference between data and written material for the purposes of meeting Wikipedia's copyright policies, copying of properly cited "brief verbatim textual excerpts from copyrighted media" is allowed if the ten  criteria are met. And I think those criteria are met here. I think the best way forward is to raise the issue at Wikipedia:Copyright problems
