[edit] Fallout of Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Currency_correlation

In the light of the afd which did not result in any consensus for deletion despite the re-creation of article, some editors suggested a merge/or redirect to other related-articles. Since it is a "statistical measure of strength and direction of a linear relationship between two currency pairs" maybe it should be merged with currency pair--JForget 19:06, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply JF. I don't believe that any more relevent information can be added as other editors suggested and I believe that that's confirmed by the fact the no-one was able to suggest improvements when I requested on the Afd. I'm really undecided whether it should merge with Currency pair, Technical analysis or Exchange rate so I will ask for comments on each of the talk pages and direct coversation here so it's easy for everyone to follow. -- John (Daytona2 · talk) 19:45, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I would have deleted it. Simply repetitive of the general concept of correlation. It's not technical analysis, more like fundamental analysis, but it doesn't belong there either (maybe as one half sentence). Not really in currency pair (this is about pairs of pairs). So the least worst place is probably in exchange rate, where it might rate a full sentence. Smallbones (talk) 21:56, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I say relist for deletion. The article is unsourced and I believe not notable. Not enough people voted in the AFD, now that more people know about it lets try it again. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 02:44, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Maybe merge the first sentence somewhere (Statistical arbitrage?) or delete. The rest is just a description of the correlation coefficient (and I'll be bold and delete it) and is wrong anyway - confuses lack of correlation with independence. The article strikes me as being written by someone who was taught this rather trivial method in school and believes it's some notable thing AdamSmithee (talk) 10:06, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks - I've added a note on the Statistical arbitrage talk page requesting comments. I agree with your deletion, after the article was deleted the first time, the same text was placed in the Correlation article and was removed - [1]. That also being the reason that I haven't asked for comments there. -- John (Daytona2 · talk) 11:43, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

A link existed in Statistical Arbitrage pointing to Currency Correlation. That link was IMHO somewhat frivolous, although I did not delete it. This material on Currency Correlation seems weak and not worth including in Statistical Arbitrage. Encyclops (talk) 15:17, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

There's no obvious link to Statistical arbitrage nor does this material seem worth keeping. I would ditch it. Ronnotel (talk) 18:34, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Delete. The page adds no important information. Finnancier (talk) 11:48, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments, I've requested a deletion review - Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Currency_correlation -- John (Daytona2 · talk) 18:14, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Delete. There is no real discussion of currency correlation in the currency pair article. There is no relationship to technical analysis either. Technical analysts might look at one pair as leading another pair, but so might economists, based on fundamental factors such as commodity-based versus service or industrial economies.
