Very promotional in tone, next to no content that isn't advertising in nature. No proper references for primary information, most sources are not reliable. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 14:21, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Churnalism, PR items and the like. This is PROMO with no discussion found in RS. Oaktree b (talk) 15:04, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Having PRODed this just yesterday, I arrive to the same conclusion. References are mostly from press releases, it is hard to see how this meets WP:CORP notability criteria. Article seems promotional to me. I get the impression I'm being presented a way to get a big payout with this product, which doesn't come across as very encyclopedic.

• Delete I've removed the routine paid placement and SEO/PR sources. The remaining ones are likely just blogs and more PR. Was not able to find much organic material about the company; address is a mail scanning service. Will be difficult to pick out real sources from the clouds of press releases. Not clear where some of the details in the article came from, and not clear why this was moved in to mainspace. Sam Kuru (talk) 00:58, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Over the past month, I've dedicated myself to researching the relatively new field of trader funding companies. With a history of about five years, these companies are gaining traction in the market. Notably, the second-largest company in this sector is TopstepTrader. I'm eager to hear your thoughts on what additional information or insights could be included to make this article worth staying. XK8ER (talk) 01:59, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @XK8ER even if this company is "gaining traction in the market" you will need strong sourcing to meet WP:NCORP. you can read WP:THREE which would be helpful. She was ^afairy 20:04, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Fails WP:CORP. Possible promo. LibStar (talk) 06:00, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Article reads like a promo piece, and sources are PR and churnalism. --Kinu ^t/_c 22:36, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: this article's backbone includes non-reliable blogs and press releases, and a sprinkle of WP:PROMO. She was ^afairy 20:03, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
