Talk:Payment/Archive 1

Merging
No, I do not support merging with Financial transaction. Firstly, a Payment is part of but not all of a Financial transaction, the latter including other requirements such as legal rights and knowledge between the parties to be regarded as complete, or a transaction having being concluded. Secondly, it is important in building the knowledge base on Payments to provide for useful information which is often much more than the financial aspect - E.g. The flow of information, the use and emergence of various technologies, the societal implications of moving away from cash. Finally, a payment may be the transfer of wealth, but this does not necessarily mean financial wealth if one considers collaborative exercises where IP is transferred.

No, I don't think this article should be merged with Financial transaction. Though I agree that a payment is technically speaking a financial transaction most of the times, it would be frustrating if a more generic and non-technical article does not exist here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.84.80.88 (talk) 19:27, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Deletion
I have undone a major deletion in this article, as there was no comment, I am assuming vandalism. The content seems to be unreferenced and borderline in value, but please discuss before deleting. BananaFiend (talk) 11:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Contradiction in definition
If payment is the transfer of money, then barter cannot be payment, contrary to what the first sentence of the second paragraph says. Now what do we do? EIN (talk) 05:01, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Suggestion: Replace the term "money" with the term "value" Martinwesthead (talk) 21:26, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
