Convexity risk

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This article came to my attention because it is listed at Copyright problems. However, rather than address the copyright issues, which might entail a rewrite, I think it would be better to delete the article. My rationale has four aspects:
 * 1) WP:NOT This is Wikipedia not Wiktionary, and the article consists solely of two sentences purporting to define a financial term
 * 2) It is stolen: See convexity risk
 * 3) It is wrong. Despite being stolen from a business directory, it isn't even correct. While it does have something to do with yields, it isn't a probability, and the definition covers a broad range of activity, not all of which is precisely convexity risk.
 * 4) Already covered. Although not referenced, the article Bond convexity covers the topic in an more encyclopediac manner. (Arguably convexity risk is a broader term than bond convexity, but the broader term is better covered in Convexity (finance), while this definition is more narrowly related to fixed income securities.)

 * That, and chapter 4 of ISBN 9781883249632, make a fairly good argument for zapping this and redirecting it to bond convexity. Uncle G (talk) 19:10, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete and redirect to bond convexity. Redundant and incomplete, as per nom. FeatherPluma (talk) 01:52, 7 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete I created this article and all of you have made good arguments for deletion. Redirecting to convexity (finance) makes sense. Statoman71 (talk) 01:52, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
