[edit] Currency correlation

Currency correlation (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Resurrection of a previously deleted article in the same form, see logs. Since correlations can be performed upon any 2 sets of data, having separate articles for each potential data set is unencyclopedic. The concept is comprehensively covered in the correlation article. -- John (Daytona2 · talk) 11:43, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Delete Probably should have been a CSD for previously deleted content, but anyway, delete per nom and prior deletion (via PROD). AvruchTalk 00:28, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I may be wrong, but I didn't think it met the WP:CSD criteria, in any case it was obviously going to be controversial and since there was no discussion last time, 5 days of discussion does no harm. Cheers -- John (Daytona2 · talk) 15:17, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Do not delete, improve Currency correlation is widely used as a technical indicator by forex traders. If you want to delete this article, you should consider deletion of Momentum, Moving average and so on. IMO, this article should be improved and expanded, not deleted. reader, 13:28, 25 November 2007 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.21.60.121 (talk • contribs)

I trade, and am familiar with the technique, however it merely makes use of an existing statistical technique as does trading utilising momentum and moving averages. Since it's a Technical Analysis technique, why not add it there ? Trying to connect the fate of an article on one particular usage of a fundamental technique with the fate of 2 articles explaining fundamental concepts, completely misses the point I made both at the time of WP:PRODing and this Afd. It does not warrant an article on it's own. To put it another way, why should every well known/common application of a statistical technique warrant an article rather than an addition somewhere more appropriate ? How could you improve the currency correlation article ? -- John (Daytona2 · talk) 15:17, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Some more background on this - Currency correlation was added - [1] as a specific example to the correlation article along with what were considered to be spam links - [2] which were removed with warning - User_talk:198.172.206.234. The duplicated explanation of a correlation was removed - [3] and then the remaining text - [4]. -- John (Daytona2 · talk)

  • Keep or at least turn into a redirect to a relevant article. I am not sure about the possibility of being a disambiguation page - Skysmith (talk) 10:25, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge. Reads as little mroe than a dict-def right now: merge to Exchange rate, where it can be spun out if enough material is gathered. Pastordavid (talk) 17:56, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Correlation and currency correlation are definitely different topics altogether. This page should be improved upon and not deleted.
