"Less Narrow" Banking

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Proposed economic system posted on some blog. No third-party references or evidence of notability. (The article claims that the idea is being discussed among American economists; it gives no reference for that.) Delete. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 05:13, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also proposed for deletion by Cindamuse (talk · contribs): "Original research; theory based on a blog". Previously speedily deleted by me as "Less Narrow" Narrow Banking. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 05:19, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I thought it was well-written. Is not a problem to me and should not be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.165.173.71 (talk) 01:30, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Dang edit conflict. As stated above, I recommend deletion of the article based on original research presented in a blog. Cind.amuse 05:23, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia is not a blog, nor is it a soap box for one's ideas. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:59, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as not notable but also disqualified on many other other grounds as noted above. There have been countless thousands of reports, articles, essays, letters, discussions, blogs etc on the topic of banking regulation stretching back centuries. None of the particular ideas here are original and it is improbable that the combination is either. The guidelines exist precisely to determine which should be in Wikipedia and how they should be covered. --AJHingston (talk) 10:22, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Against deletion- the idea has been going around the internet and at this point is more than just a blog entry. The ideas are all original content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nxt1 (talk • contribs) 17 May 2011
