The result was Keep and move to Newbank, Glasgow, leaving redirect or DAB as needed. FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 20:13, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

The contentious meanings have already been dealt with in the article; all that remains is the Glasgow meaning, which was consensus Keep.

[edit] Newbank

Newbank (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Seems to be non notable, external refs are the banks website and a press release. Chris 73 | Talk 19:11, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep post rewrite - but only for the area in Glasgow as referenced in the template. The non-notable banks can go. The Rambling Man 19:26, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
• D/K/K. The first Newbank is a wiki in the UK which offers course help for secondary school students. I can't find external references to it, so I suppose it will have to be deleted. The second Newbank is not a regular commercial bank but an emergency-only organization that will be activated if another very large bank (one which clears US government securities) fails. The press release is from a U.S. government agency rather than from Newbank itself. I would keep this article as a stub. The third Newbank should become a separate article, probably renamed Newbank, Glasgow. --Eastmain 22:05, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
• This really should be three separate articles. The first (schoolwork wiki) is manifestly not notable. The second (dormant bank) would seem appropriate for a merge and disambiguation redirect to Federal Reserve Bank. The third looks like the original subject of the article and should be kept with the other bits stripped off. Sam Blacketer 22:15, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of UK-related deletions. -- SkierRMH 07:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Disambig: #1 being non-sourced probably needs to go. #2 & #3 should have their own articles. Given that there are c. 20,000 ghits for 'newbank', it's probable that there will be more entries for a disambig page. SkierRMH,07:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. Because the Federal Reserve System article is so large and since Newbank can't really be mentioned within the first two paragraphs of Federal Reserve System, I don't think a merger-redirect is the best solution. Rather, I would keep the Newbank (bank) article as a stub, until the bank is actually activated, in which case the article could be expanded. --Eastmain 16:19, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep only for area in Glasgow. Addhoc 13:43, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
