Money trail

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Incoherent personal essay. TiC (talk) 04:55, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a fairly widely used term which is used by everyone from Advocacy Organizations, to Journalists, and News Organizations. A quick Google news search shows wide spread use of the term in a large variety of sources. This article needs clean up, not deletion. Winner 42 Talk to me!  06:51, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Many phrases are widely used. So? Do we need an article explaining what the blame game (far more widespread uses on Google) means? Or propounding on corporate greed? These aren't actual independent subjects. This is an article about money laundering; that's where the concept should be covered.
 * 2) Even if you think it's relevant, this article contains nothing salvageable. "Cleanup" means writing a new one. TiC (talk) 04:20, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete This reads like an essay, and appears to be original research (and much is unsourced). We already have Follow the money to cover this topic. That article is a bit scant, but more could be added to it. LaMona (talk) 22:29, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
