Deposit: The action of depositing base money into a deposit account

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not encyclopedic, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. LK (talk) 08:42, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a proper disambiguation page.  The links are to three articles with different names.  If there is a need to distinguish between different types of deposits, the articles themselves can make the distinction.  In any case, the article on deposits is already effectively a disambiguation page.  Wikipeterproject (talk) 08:48, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - per. Wikipeterproject, not a proper disambiguation page. The length of the title renders it pretty useless. --Anthem 11:10, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Its title seems like a movie poster or a book. Anyway, the article is not even a proper disambig page, its content does not have or provide any encyclopedic value to WP. Eduemoni↑talk↓  12:17, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per all above. There's a movie you can safely skip.... - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:52, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - utterly useless as either a dab page or stub. Bearian (talk) 18:17, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

This page obviously attempts to do something useful and constructive and surprise surprise not one single editor has suggested it might be doing that. Instead all want it deleted because it is so against policy. Deposit is a confusing word and there are plenty of people who want it to remain that way. Nobody can change the article pages because of the small army of editors who arrive to ensure deposit remains a confusing word Andrewedwardjudd (talk) 21:56, 15 June 2011 (UTC)andrewedwardjudd
 * Comment: Andrewedwardjudd, see deposit, which links to various articles about deposits. I think that should satisfy your concern.  If there are more articles that should be linked from that page, they can be added to the list.  Wikipeterproject (talk) 07:29, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * If that page remains to disambiguate deposit then i am happy.  I assumed the intention was first to get rid of this page and then to get rid of the disambiguation i attempted altogether, where so far on the page i am using which needs deposit to be clear, it has not been possible to get the meanings clearly explained without immediate deletions.

 * Strong delete. The page isn't encyclopedic at all, it simply states how a deposit works. I think alot of people already know about a deposit. SwisterTwister   talk  19:27, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Very few people know that deposits can refer to different monies, where one is an iou and one is something more tangible. Andrewedwardjudd (talk) 09:19, 21 June 2011 (UTC)andrewedwardjudd
