 * It's clear what motivated this, even if it hadn't been stated in an edit summary. Unfortunately, that makes it POV-pushing &mdash; an attempt to lay out a Wikipedia editor's opinion as to what the specific principles of good bank management are.  I give you the words of the third source that I found when looking to see whether an article on well managed banks or even bank management was possible from this:"Walter Bagehot &#91;&hellip;&#93; is said to have coined the question-begging aphorism that "a well managed bank needs no capital, whilst no amount of capital can save an ill managed bank". &#91;&hellip;&#93; How "well managed" and how "ill managed", and what about all the intermediate conditions?  It is a truism that "good management" is the key to everything, but who is to be the infallible judge and guarantor of management quality?  Most banks are a mixture of good and not so good management and, as circumstances and top teams change, are managed better in some eras than others; not that we can always tell the difference at the time."


 * You may not want to take my word for it that it's POV-pushing. So take Eddie Cade's word instead.  Uncle G (talk) 11:32, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Incubate. This is quite a ways from becoming an encyclopedia article, and does read like original research.  I am, however, somewhat surprised that we do not yet have an article on bank management, which seems a valid subject, and at least some of this text might be salvageable. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:58, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Userfy/incubate I agree with Smerdis that this article is not ready for prime time, too much like an essay, too much original research, not enough sourcing. However I also agree that an article on Bank management is needed and this could  become that article. I am also bothered that it was PRODded six minutes after its creation. Why can't we learn to give people a little time to develop and improve their articles, rather than jumping in with an immediate deletion? --MelanieN (talk) 03:18, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
