The result was keep. Most delete votes argue that it's original research and unsourced, yet references have been added and the concept is really old. And it's provenly not a neologism since google scholar gives you hits from the 1950s. - Bobet 10:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Full-reserve banking
Delete I'm going on a limb here but I *think* this is OR - all of the links I can find are either to places sourcing the wikipedia entry or places which cite it as how we can get full employment - that sets off my crank detector. However I could be entirely wrong and this could a very well-known theory.

Keep, the citations are not just the usual gold standard propaganda.Gazpacho 23:36, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Which citations? The first seems to be to what appeared to a paper hosted on a university server (and as staff are generally given space that doesn't mean an awful lot) and the second takes us to a site that claims The Trade Reference Currency (TRC) TM is a new currency privately issued by the TRC Alliance, with a built-in circulation incentive that could play a significant role in getting the world out of recession. Its unit of account is the Terra. It would systematically stabilize the effects on the business cycle and re-align financial interests with long-term sustainability. I don't quite see how either are particular reliable in the context they are presented. --Charlesknight 23:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- further to my earlier comment - I cannot find any reference to "full-reserve banking" within the academic literature. Anyone else? --Charlesknight 20:44, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- "Full-reserve banking" generates 1 hit on Google Book Search [1], but this cannot be viewed. It also generates 3 hits at Google Scholar [2]. However, from what I understand of these, they appear to be passing mentions. Weak delete. Thryduulf 23:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Keep A real concept discussed in both Islamic banking debate. It's different from the gold standard, as (1) it envisages other comodoties and (2) the gold standard could allow for some fractional reserve. JASpencer 19:38, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you supply some references where it is discussed in economics peer-reviewed journals and the like? --Charlesknight 19:42, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Maybe it should be merged with "currency board" article, if it exists. Think http://www.dollarization.org maybe a source for contents. (vitor py, vitopy at gmail.com) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.156.96.235 (talk • contribs)
- Keep Full-reserve banking is a proper topic in economics. If there is any problem with the content of the article, fix the article, but do not delete, for God´s sake.Randroide 11:54, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Excellent so you can point me towards a source in the academic literature - just rhe first one or two that comes to mind will be fine. --Charlesknight 09:58, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete without prejudice to better-sourced recreation. It seems this is a fringe economic theory with some crankish-sounding proponents, as pointed out in the nom. Determinative, here, is that what sources we have are the proponents' websites and a HTM paper on someone's server somewhere. We find no reference to any mainstream media or serious economic literature that discuss it (if only to refute it). Until any such sources appear, it must be presumed non-notable.

- Keep. The concept of full reserve banking is an essential one at least to understanding economic history and banking systems. It is plenty debatable to what extent it has ever existed, ought to exist, exists, or will exist, but as a concept it is pretty well defined, and the debate is interesting enough to be documented in its own right.
- Notice how I'm asking the same question over and over without answer? so YOU can point towards it's mention in the academic economic literature or a economics textbook or something similar? --Charlesknight 08:07, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep (weak) only with banners - added banners NPOV / unreferenced (to a good academic paper) - this would appear to be either a core piece of economics (hence good paper easy), or vapourware - let the editors decide
- Delete as unverifiable. It's WP:V. --Satori Son 04:33, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
