Financial system

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article forks from article with identical subject matter (Finance), but its content seems to be based on the point of view of the author(s).Originally proposed for deletion, but template has been removed. --Gavin Collins 22:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge. There's a large overlap (sections 2 through 5) with Finance and probably little of the content from those sections needs to be merged with the main article. However, the first section, Financial system, would be more appropriately covered in an article on banking, but based on a quick check, I note that the topic isn't covered in the main article, Bank, nor was I able to locate an article covering the payment system. The payment system is certainly important and needs to be discussed; it should be merged into Bank or a related article. Sanpete Slim 04:04, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete The article is essentially unsourced;  the two sources cited only tangentially address the information in this article. Financial system is simplistic and in some cases confused or wrong.  Perhaps a new article should be written on payment systems, which would describe and contrast the role of various systems such as Fedwire, CHIPS, BoJnet,  SWIFT, et al.  But that would be a new article, with little to salvage from this one.  Sections 2-5 are simplistic, and redundant with the Finance article.--Work permit 05:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep: I don't see that much information overlap with Finance. The lack of references is not a reason for deletion - the test is far higher, that article information cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, and/or all attempts to find reliable sources have failed. This article may not (in its current form) be the best of wikipedia, but it presents useful information and can be improved. Deletion is not justified.--Gregalton 06:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem isn't just lack of references. The problem is it's WP:OR.  Worse yet,  it's WP:OR and wrong in too many places to just fix with a few edits and citations. A better outline and definition for financial systems is given by the (sourced) article on the Japanese financial system.  This article also has many factual errors. For example,  in just the first paragraph of the first section, he states The payment system operates to settle transactions. A transaction is settled when the seller has supplied the specific item and received the agreed amount of value.  This is the general definition for a clearing and settlement system, not just a payment system.  The problems just go on.  Even the outline is wrong.  --Work permit 03:33, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, per a combination of WP:OR and WP:SOURCE. The lack of sources and the arguments made by Work Permit suggest that it's original research. I don't really know anything about finance or the system, but in terms of the guidelines and the arguments already made, I think deletion is in order.Bwowen 02:49, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Original research is never permitted on Wikipedia. You're gonna need to find reliable sources.  Optionally, merge to Finance. ( [ →] zel  zany  - fish) 23:42, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep the article needs to be rewritten to be verifiable and have references though. --Android Mouse 21:53, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
