Devolvement[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No discernible notable topic here. An article on the generic concept of devolvement (aka devolution) would be one thing; an article on how it's used in the Reserve Bank of India would be something else. If either of these is notable, start an article on it, from sources. Just noticed, we do have an article on Devolution, so this bit about India's bank can be merge there if people think it's worth a mention Dicklyon (talk) 18:25, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell, devolvement is a term of art in the investment/securities field [1][2] and might have particular meaning in India [3]. It doesn't appear to be the same topic as devolution as used in that article, which is as a political term. This article does require a great deal of work, but it looks to me like it might be a valid topic. Station1 (talk) 19:28, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Linguistically seems to be an unusual synonym for delegation (in the verb sense). A quick google suggests it is a general term (if not widely-known by laypeople) and isn't limited to India. As such, the article isn't really NPOV. It looks like the concept is somewhat notable, so someone interested or with surplus time on their hands could fix it up. If that's not going to happen, I'd perfectly feel happier if it were deleted, purely on NPOV grounds. SamBC(talk) 13:28, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Agree with Station1, but a more global view needs to be represented as per SamBC. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:59, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep You simply have to follow the search links above to see that the topic is notable, e.g. Investment Banking; Financial Services In India; Fundamentals of Financial Instruments. And we should not merge to devolution as that is a quite different topic. Warden (talk) 08:30, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Wouldn't you agree that, in the interests of NPOV, it needs to take a more global view rather than describing it as exclusively Indian? My quick googling certainly suggested it's a broader term than that. SamBC(talk) 13:32, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Its a real thing, and the encyclopedia should have an article about this. Dream Focus 13:43, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, It's short, it just meets WP:Stub, but it is an important term in India and should be mentioned here, maybe instead of deleting this people could improve this, make it longer, better, more detailed, see WP:Imperfect. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 18:10, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A valid term, with a short description, but should be retained with improvements. Perhaps the term only applies to India, perhaps not. --DThomsen8 (talk) 22:06, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
