poorly written and very little text Catdog4169 (talk) 21:44, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I have nominated the article Coinflation for deletion due to the reason it is poorly written and includes very little tex. Catdog4169 (talk) 21:39, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, MAYBE Speedy in spite of the nomination. Both poorly written and "very little text" (ie: a stub) are not valid reasons for deleting an article.  Sorry, please see this.  In this example, notability is, as there are no sources given except the companies own website.  The other source talks about coin melting, but not the "website" that is the topic of the article.  TECHNICALLY, it might even pass as a SPEEDY DELETE (db|web or db|corp) since they don't even make a claim of notability, instead just saying the website exists.

 * Delete No reliable sources, no notability asserted. How the hell did this survive the last afd? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 22:23, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This topic is notable, the website is not. Mystache (talk) 23:25, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete (G12) — "	Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam;" MuZemike (talk) 06:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep/merge The material is useful as part of our general coverage of inflation and its effect upon coinage and there are sufficient sources out there to make more of this. The article title is a useful search term and so should lead somewhere.  Quite where is best I'm still not sure... Colonel Warden (talk) 10:26, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You say keep and merge, but your argument sounds more like "delete content but change to a redirect". Are you saying that the website/company that the article is about IS notable?  Otherwise, deleting the article doesn't stop the title from being used again as a redirect or another article.  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 11:37, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can find no evidence that a "coin-flation" sense is in significant use apart from the Web site, although a "co-inflation" sense may have some limited use (it looks to me as though most, if not all, of these are typos for conflation, however). A redirect to Coin is possible, since the phenomenon is discussed there, but I can't advocate the redirect without seeing some evidence that this term exists apart from the site name.
