This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Finance. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Finance|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Finance. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Repost + cross-wiki spam, WP:PAID (recently created same pages in different wikis). Was deleted "Article about a website, blog, web forum, webcomic, podcast, browser game, or similar web content, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject". Doesn't look significant. Suspicious but the IP and one user are trying to delete the db-repost template. Кронас (talk) 17:44, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: VentureBeat and other funding announcements... Nothing currently in sources in the article we can use. This is the best I could find [1] and it's a contributor post, so not a RS. Delete for lack of sourcing. Oaktree b (talk) 00:18, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Liz can you delete it as AfD outcome instead of refundable G7? there is a relevant discussion about this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2024_February_20
- WP:G7 was modified and "If an author requests deletion of a page currently undergoing a deletion discussion, the closing admin may interpret that request as agreement with the deletion rationale." text was added as a result of that discussion. Tehonk (talk) 22:51, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how to accomodate your request unless the article is undeleted and then redeleted and I'm not sure that's an option that I'm up for at the moment but maybe another closer would do this sequence of steps. Liz Read! Talk! 04:08, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

This appears to fail WP:NEVENTS due to lack of WP:PERSISTENCE coverage and a lack of WP:LASTING impact. The coverage seems routine and since WP is not a newspaper, we shouldn't create articles on every scam just because it has been reported in WP:109PAPERS. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 10:21, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Part of the Khanna series of articles created and maintained by an apparent COI editor. Completely fails WP:BASIC. One of the worst cases of WP:REFBOMBING I've ever seen. Sources are either trivial mentions or don't mention the subject at all. Googling "Aditya Khanna" returns nothing – I can only find results about a tennis player. If you look closely, you'll notice that the majority of the article is cited to primary sources. There are 8 citations to his LinkedIn, for example. C F A 💬 15:49, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: Mainly primary sources. I see that there is some notability/coverage in a few areas, but the fact is that the article is mainly primary sources and does not quite meet the longevity criteria ("Notability is not temporary"). MohReddy (talk) 17:17, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Single ref in About section; Visa program established in 2001 and then shut down in 2004, receiving little WP:SIGCOV. Cursory Google search appears that it was revived later under PCI DSS, but nothing that would pass WP:GNG for this specific program. SmittenGalaxy | talk! 08:40, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 04:16, 8 August 2024 (UTC)- Comment the list talks about cities. Except for Singapore which is its own case. I think this topic is note worthy. I recommend changing the name of the article to List of ASEAN cities by minimum wage. If you have countries, subdivisions and cities togethor, you will get an enormous list. I think you should start with cities and then build from that. If it is kept and reliable sources are used. I am in favour of keeping article. O.maximov (talk) 11:15, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

- Keep organization is a key player in the financial industry, offering extensive credit risk data that is crucial for financial institutions and researchers. Its contributions and collaborations with major banks around the world underline its significance and notability. --Loewstisch (talk) 10:44, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment. I've improved the article's structure. gidonb (talk) 23:25, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. The sourcing either points to reports published by this organization or are PRIMARY sources. None of the sources provide in-depth "Independent Content" *about* the *organization*. Perhaps some of the Keep !voters above can point to any particular page/paragraph in their sources which meets our criteria? HighKing++ 16:30, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. The company's data products are cited in at least 361 studies, including some studies in very good journals. Most of the time, Google Scholar does not pick up on data citations, so I think this is a pretty good indication that that the data created by the company are in widespread use. Most of these publications will describe the data in a standalone section, so I consider this to be significant independent coverage of the data product. Malinaccier (talk) 00:12, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- The company doesn't inherit notability from its product. The article is clearly about the company, not the product. Janhrach (talk) 20:07, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

- If you're associated with the company, you must declare any conflict of interest here. Oaktree b (talk) 16:47, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: per Oaktree b. Under NCORP, we have a higher standard for notability. While "they get cited a lot" or "people use their work" might fly for some people (see, for example, NACADEMIC), it does not establish notability for corporations. Brief mentions, even in academic journals, are not significant coverage. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:41, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: Asked by the admin a few comments above to review sources: the ECB is a government body, usually considered a primary source, then we have the company's own website, which is also primary... The only decent sourcing in the article is Source 2, where a peer-reviewed journal uses data from the company to analyze things (which is fine I suppose, it's not directly about the company however). None of the sources presented are helpful and most aren't even useful for the various reasons listed in this comment. Still a !delete. Oaktree b (talk) 02:18, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, to comment on the remainder of the sources given above: a trade register and linkedin, neither of which are acceptable for proving notability. I'm afraid none of the new sources presented can be helpful in establishing notability. Oaktree b (talk) 02:20, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep GCD (which isn't a company btw, it's an organisation with member banks) is definitely notable — it represents 50+ of the world’s biggest banks and is a key player in credit risk benchmarking. Their data and reports are widely used in academic studies, industry reports, and by regulators, showing they have a real impact on the financial sector. As previous commenters have set out, and as can be see from the 10 and half pages of google scholar results of papers talking about their database (one of the primary functions of GCD), there are plenty of reliable sources on GCD, easily meeting Wikipedia's notability criteria.
