 * Comment Electronic cash is about the German EC-Karte and looks to be a translation of its German equivalent, minus the sources there. Not quite sure what the relevance of this debit card is to the other electronic currency related articles. Funny  Pika! 06:03, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It's in the same genre (banking technology) and lacks notability and references in the same fashion. --KyleLandas (talk) 06:15, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I think that's a bit too broad to be bundling articles together. It can get confusing when discussing a debit card, three different digital currency schemes and a person related to it in one Afd. I'd guess that electronic cash is major German debit card system, though it'd be probably best to have someone from Germany confirm that. Haven't had a chance to look through the others.

 * Keep: Unless I am missing something obvious to others, It appears this page has ample national 3rd party coverage. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:13, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Ecash does not. It has one dated, irrelevant book from the 1990s and a CNET article talking about the failure of this product. Notability is not shown through any of the sources. --KyleLandas (talk) 13:46, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * However, yes, Electronic cash may be spared. I will be removing it from the list. --KyleLandas (talk) 13:55, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It seems to me it's easy to find multiple mentions of this company, and the related ones, in many different international sources. Sorry Kyle, it looks to me like it meets GNG and CORP with ease. One might consider a MERGE into a single article on chaum's various companies, perhaps into his bio. But an outright delete of this information seems heavy handed. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:07, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Support: A merge of Ecash into David Chaum would be appropriate.
 * A merge of Digicash into David Chaum would be suitable as well. --KyleLandas (talk) 13:37, 3 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Notice: Electronic cash has been removed. The above concerns may no longer be applicable. --KyleLandas (talk) 13:59, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, I'm seeing lots of good secondary sources in very simple searches from links, above, including . &mdash; Cirt (talk) 04:58, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, when reading about electronic cash I continually found references to Chaum, he appears to have been the first guy to have published such a scheme and appears to be considered notable in the academic and industry cryptography and digital cash communities.
