WP:NOTDICDEF pretty much sums it up. flaminglawyerc 03:01, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

:Sorry, I was in a hurry and had to put something down fast. Rephrasing: Money factor is just another word for interest rate or APR. It's a pitiful concept. The article (in its current state) is just a definition and a horrifically vague formula. The trouble is, that's all it'll ever be. You can't expand on it any more than it already is. It's a non-notable concept whose Wikipedia article is equally non-notable, and is destined to stay that way forever. And the dictionary clause still applies. flaminglawyerc 06:29, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete. No, flaming, it's worse than that. "Money factor", according to every source, including this article, is just another term for "interest rate" in the auto finance industry. WP:NOTDICDEF? Try WP:NOTTHESAURUS. At the very most, a half-sentence added in somewhere in Interest rate could be done, but even that is not necessary, IMO. Unschool 06:04, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep Article describes a standard term in auto leasing industry. I have added more information on derivation and relation to APR, with additional sources. No longer just a dicdef. Gandalf61 (talk) 09:01, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

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

  • Merge/redirect to interest rate. Gsearch shows it's a widely used term, redirects are cheap, so help the reader out. But there's no need to have two articles when one will do.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:31, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
