Commonwealth banknote-issuing institutions
The connection between Commonwealth of Nations and Banknotes is too remote to justify an article. If we need a list of banknote-issuing institutions, why not have a world one? The timescale also needs to be clear. This one seems to try to cover the entire history of banknotes but is woefully incomplete. Cavrdg 21:13, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Neutral - I'm torn between merge and delete, because I don't know if it would be redundant to place this information into each country's article, or if it's already there. It's neat to know who's allowed to print money, but I agree that lumping together all commonwealth countries is a bad idea.  Is there a broader list of money-issuers around the world?

 * However we do end up doing it, it seems like it would be best to have a section under each country for current and for historical, which would settle up the time periods nicely. Night Gyr 21:35, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Move to List of banknote-issuing institutions and expand to cover the entire world. There's no point in limiting it to commonwealth countries. Night Gyr 20:42, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't see any valid reason to remove a list of Commonwealth institutions that issue banknotes. If the nom wants a global list of banknote issuing institutions this would provide a good start. Deleting this will not get us any closer to that goal. -- JJay 21:54, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per JJay and Night Gyr. The entire Currency category seems to need some organizing, but this adds something not already here.  Agree there is no reason to restrict it to Commonwealth countries.  Slowmover 21:56, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as above. CalJW 03:20, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete: It's not clear if the list has any useful purpose. A historical article about banking and currency relationships between Commonwealth countries would be fascinating, though. Peter Grey 05:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
