[edit] Accounting reference date

• DELETE - the correct terms are "Calender Year-End Date" or "Fiscal Year-End Date". MapleTree 13:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep. It has 67100 hits and is widely used in accounting. See [1], [2] or [3] for definition and use, for instance. Just because you don't know the word does not mean it's not used... -- Grafikm ^(AutoGRAF) 17:06, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as failing WP:DICDEF. Don't see how this could ever be a substantive article Bwithh 17:52, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. In its current state, it does fail WP:DICDEF. I think, however, that it could be expanded, or if not, merged to fiscal year. (See my posts on Talk:Accounting reference date and on Talk:Fiscal year.) I will attempt to expand it, to see if it can be made long enough. The relevant quotation from U.S. (and other countries') law might be applicable, or any other information which makes it not a definition. --Iamunknown 20:23, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• SMerge to Fiscal Year. There is nothing that should be "here" which should not be "there". — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 21:52, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Smerge unless expanded. I still think it could be expanded, but I don't know how to go about it, and if it cannot happen in time for the traditional five day period (today or tomorrow) then I don't want to add to any cleanup backlogs in hopes it will. --Iamunknown 00:35, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
