Vertical currency

This doesn't seem to be a real thing. The point of the page seems to be to promote http://dowlingduncan.com and their entry in a design contest. No coverage of the concept, if there is one, in reliable sources. &mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 04:08, 3 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Banknote, which says much the same thing. The Colombian peso certainly appears to have a vertical design, an orientation which is slightly interesting although not deserving of a separate article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:38, 3 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge to Banknote – Vertical orientation, which would expand this section of the Banknote article. Northamerica1000(talk) 12:08, 3 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment&mdash; It's true that that section of the banknote article says the same thing as this article; that's because that material was added by the creator of this article. If it wouldn't mess up the debate here and I were interested in editing the banknote article, I'd take it out of there as promotional and made up as well.  I really don't think that "vertical currency" is a real thing; there's nothing in any sources that I could find.&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 13:20, 3 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Try here and here . Bermuda here . Don't know where you looked but it's one of the top Google hits.--Degen Earthfast (talk) 14:41, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I saw those. The first one is a blog reporting on the second one.  The second one has an agenda to push, and the third one is a blog with pictures saying they're cool.  How are these reliable sources for the existence of an encyclopedic concept called vertical money?&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 17:27, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Reasoning and examples thereof--173.49.56.43 (talk) 22:21, 9 August 2012 (UTC).


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete as promotional material. I t hink the most that could be reliably stated is that the orientation is uncommon. Mangoe (talk) 17:58, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
