Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sixteen Decisions

This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was difficult. While the intent of the community is clearly to preserve the content of this section (with a very strong recommendation that it should be preserved within the context of the Grameen Bank article), a brief research confirms that this is an unresolved [[1] copyright violation]. As such, the copyvio decision must take precedence. Rossami (talk) 02:22, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sixteen Decisions

Advertising. It's the business rules of some bank, not notable as a google search of "16 decisions" + "Grameen Bank" turns up <200. Delete (transwiki to wikisource if notable enough, but it looks like copyvio from the external reference anyway)--Dmcdevit 01:47, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Merge the info into Grameen Bank. Grameen Bank is actually quite notable; it pioneered the use of microcredit as a way to help people in developing countries. Their principles of operation, illustrating the way they work in the communities they serve, are a useful part of an encyclopedia article. Summarize/paraphrase as appropriate.

• Merge. The article is useless on its own, but seems to fit very well as part of Grameen Bank. Feco 04:51, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Right, but I guess I am more worried about copyvio; I'm not good with the rules, but I can't see why this is an exception.--Dmcdevit 05:09, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge doesn't mean copy verbatim from the source article, especially when the source is a copyvio. Whoever does it will (presumably) take great care that whatever gets inserted into Grameen Bank isn't in violation. (Incidentally, I vote to so Merge). android↔talk 06:59, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Concur, Merge. -- Jmabel | Talk 04:42, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
