Article fails WP:NEO, and WP:NOT. Does not belong in an encyclopedia Hu12 (talk) 20:29, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * keep I don't think that is a neologism. It feels like there is a fair amount of OR in there, but a bit of careful sprinkling with the appropriate references should satisfy that concern.  StephenBuxton (talk) 20:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - not a neologism, but unsourced, original research and more like a how-to guide or manual than an encyclopedia article. JohnCD (talk) 20:48, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. per /half my nom. Agree with JohnCD its unsourced and original research --Hu12 (talk) 20:52, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, redundant to bank account, etc. --Dhartung | Talk 21:22, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Bank account doesn't talk about how the account is opened. --Pesco (talk) 02:37, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete original research, read like a a how-to guide Doc StrangeMailbox Orbitting Black Hole Strange Frequencies 22:37, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep/merge It is a valid topic and just needs work. See Know your customer for some aspects of this.  Colonel Warden (talk) 22:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Weak Delete - The primary issue is whether the article subject is notable enough for an entry. If that is satisfied, I think the rest of the article needs to be and can be heavily edited to meet standards as it reads as a weak academic essay right now.  As far as notability, I know from the legal aspect there has been legislation in the U.S. requiring proof of customer identity to open the account in order to prevent money laundering and terrorist funding. --Pesco (talk) 02:37, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I just read Know your customer. I think the most notable and sourcable information from New account opening is already or belongs there, instead.  Changed my vote. --Pesco (talk) 02:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep but the page should have more added to it.-- RyRy5   talk  20:04, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unencyclopedic how-to that simply does not belong here. Eusebeus (talk) 18:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
