Postal Orders of Christmas Island (Pacific Ocean)
This item of ultra-obscure-numismatics cruft, created by a banned user, lets us know that a BFPO postal order may have been sold somewhere. WP:NOT most certainly applies here, namely "indiscriminate collection of information", "soapbox for personal opinion", and the Verifability policy too. Kiand 23:47, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge. I recommend moving this information into Postal order until a narrower article, if appropriate, is created.  This one is definitely too narrow in scope.  Logophile 00:40, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per Logophile. Ruby 00:44, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge - however, it seems like there are some similarily narrow articles in the stamp collecting category. Also, I took a look at why the author's talk page, it looked like he was banned for being a jerk, but he still appeared to be quite knowledgeable about this subject.  I suspect that if he wasn't banned, he would have probably been able to have offered citations to help with the verification. -Nortonew 01:27, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Postal orders are not technically an interest of stamp collectors, but are part of nimismatics, as mentioend by Kiand.  There are some very poor articles on the collecting of postal orders.  I hope an interested editor improves those articles, creates new ones, and eventually puts this article in its appropriate place.  For now Postal order looks like the best home for this information.
