Forex simulator

I propose the article Forex simulator for deletion from Wikipedia. Rationale: the article is 100% unverified information despite having been fact-tagged for over a year and a half, has few edits, and only a single link to it from other Wikipedia articles after many years. Obviously, other possibilities exist such as merging the idea of a Forex simulator with some other Forex-related article, but that would need help from someone knolwedgeable about Forex, which has seemed to be distinctly lacking on this article over the past year.

As proposer, I support the AFD, rationale above. N2e (talk) 16:24, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 09:15, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The ability described is also present in software aimed at investment markets other than Forex, for example the stock charting software I use has the facility described, but is not aimed at forex traders. If the article is to be kept, it should probably be generalised to apply to this kind of software as well. JulesH (talk) 22:06, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete. Having done some research on this now, I think we must consider that the idea behind this type of software is so simple and obvious that nobody has ever bothered writing about it. The most I can find in a google books search, for example, are numerous "how to learn to trade currencies" style books that recommend beginners start on a simulator. It seems everyone takes for granted that there is such software and never bothers to describe it. JulesH (talk) 10:20, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
