Merge specific pink currencies into pink money

Right now there are articles for Pink pound and Pink dollar. It is my opinion that the moneyed gay population able to spend any particular currency is not singly significant at this time, and unless there is a specific effort to describe a specific currency's relationship with a gay population, then all such descriptions of interactions can have a place here on this pink money page.

On Talk:Pink_dollar a merge (although not this one) was proposed in May 2009 and on Talk:Pink_pound a merge between that and pink dollar was discussed in January 2006 and October 2007. I think the right place for both of those articles is here in pink money, and that both pink dollar and pink pound should redirect to pink money.

Does anyone have anything to say to this? Blue Rasberry 23:01, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

There is a way to combine but is "pink money" an actual phrase or original research on our part? -- Banjeboi 23:06, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Here are some links that show the precedent of using the generic term "pink money": National Post (Canada), Financial Express (India), Echelon Magazine (America), Helsingin Sanomat (Iceland). That said, it is still much more common for individual places to report the name in terms of their specific currency, thus the current wikiarticles for pink pound and pink dollar while other places use pink rupee, pink peso, pink euro, etc. I would be happy to combine all the articles into pink money but I was waiting for some more editors to weigh in; there is no rush for this.
