List of Issuer Identification Numbers[edit]

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

This list is essentially unsourced and because of the nature of these numbers being unpublished, will always be original research. Does not seem to be a notable list. There was no consensus on deleting 6 years ago, deletion should be addressed again. Bahooka (talk) 16:18, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unsourced article as mentioned above, these numbers arent all credit cards as listed in the overview, some credit cards (mine included) dont have any of these numbers at the start. Without repeated updates by banks and building societies and other organisations there is little or no way to keep this list up to date Amortias (T)(C) 18:50, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This might be appropriate on WikiSource, but it's clearly not an encyclopedic article. Without citations it's just original research. —gorgan_almighty (talk) 21:46, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Save I have stumbled up this after trying to check a card number that I have been given for payment, the number had been written down wrong and this table helped me correct the situation as I could not get in touch with the card owner. It saved me time and also the inconvenience of having to contact the owner. I and many others will find this table informative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.18.203.199 (talk) 16:06, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But if it's not verifiable it could just as easily be misleading. —gorgan_almighty (talk) 23:08, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
