Alternative Portfolio Selection models
Editor's note: has now been moved to Portfolio (finance)

Yeah, looks like a bunch of nonsense, Delete. --User:Boothy443 | comhrÚ 08:01, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC) Bacchiad 08:21, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. If it weren't nonesense, it'd be original research.
 * Delete. Agreed, Nonsense. Battosai
 * Exactly what is the context? Nonsense, Delete. Mgm|(talk) 11:27, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and comment: it does make sense... if you already know what it is about. But actually no point in having an article for that. Could be a few lines a financial or stock market article. Gtabary 15:29, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Original researched nonsense (you know what I mean) :)--Neigel von Teighen 18:14, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nonsense. Ganymead 22:49, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Question: How does claiming that there are two current methods count as original research, let alone nonsense? Kappa 23:32, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is not non-sense and it is not original research (or at least it has not been original research for 30 years now). It just needed a bit of a re-write, which I have just completed. mydogategodshat 06:34, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge somewhere. Even the early versions were not really nonsense and subsequent rewrite gave more context. jni 08:42, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Ok a I did bit of cleanup --- [0] edited Portfolio selection, management, and performance [1] merged info from portfolio [2] trimed portfolio [3] added a disambig link in portfolio [4] moved Portfolio selection, management, and performance to Portfolio (finance) [5] redirected Alternative Portfolio Selection model to Portfolio (finance) --- I think it's more rational now: better title, disambiged, merged from different sources.

 * Delete, still isnt encyclopaedic enough or useful. Megan1967 02:13, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't really care about the article nor am I knowlegable in finance. I cleaned it up because ther was some informations scatered around and the titles were so... bad. But I do see the article as encyclopaedic. There was and is material here, potentially expendable. So I don't understand you there. Gtabary 18:33, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * keep as cleaned up. Kappa 12:39, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Especially as cleaned up, but even as it was first started, it was legitimate material. Come on guys if you don't know what something is, google it a little bit, don't jump on deleting. This is a very important topic in finance. - Taxman 14:14, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as cleaned up, but could use a lot more work. -- Jmabel | Talk 18:21, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
