The result was merge  to CVECA. There's nothing to merge any more, so I'm just redirecting.  Sandstein  19:09, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Just a dictionary definition translation, plus it's not clear that this term is in widespread use in English. The given source barely mentions it, providing nothing more than a translation. Powers T 21:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable, as far as I can make out. Olaf Davis | Talk 21:12, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Microfinance. It is a notable concept, but it is best described in the context of the Microfinance] article. --Eastmain (talk) 21:23, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge what, exactly? There's nothing here.  Powers T 21:32, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment This is a bit tricky. I don't think this is really a type of microbank per se, it's more like an NGO with many local affiliates. Search terms: cveca+mali.--Dhartung | Talk 21:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree, there's nothing there really to merge. Non-notable and no sources.Renee (talk) 22:35, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I would be very disappointed if you delete this article. It is about a distinctive type of financial intermediaries that solves problems no other financial intermediaries can solve (delivering services where no other financial intermediary can deliver them).  It is certainly notable in the context of microfinance, but the microfinance article itself is hardly the place for details on the many different types of intermediaries that serve poor populations.  Obviously it not an article yet in any meaningful sense.  I have added points on the talk page and will expand it if I can find appropriate sources.  CVECAs (this term is used in english language microfinance literature all the time) are easily more notable than 95% of the articles on Wikipedia.  By the way, they are microbanks, not NGOs.Brett epic (talk) 23:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand, merging with the content now at CVECA. This appears to be some sort of savings and loan style financial institution operating in French speaking Africa.  Ordinarily, I'd say to redirect to the fuller, existing article, but the manual of style suggests that the expanded name should be preferred over the acronym.  - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice. Nothing there to merge. I'd suggest redirection but it's an unlikely search term. Stifle (talk) 20:50, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to CVECA. I am the original author of this, and created it because of the redlink to CVECAs in the microfinance article. It does seem that there is some distinctive feature of this system of lending that might not be captured in the related pages, though I am only guess as I am not an expert.

 * Merge unless more content can be added Faith (talk) 07:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to CVECA as this term is widely used in English-speaking microfinance circles. Most people don't know the French acronym.  I wrote the CVECA article after posting my objection to deleting this one above; the CVECA article now contains all the content in this one and more.Brett epic (talk) 07:53, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge - Merge it to CVECA.  a s e nine  say what?  09:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
