The only claim to notability was the character UFO Phil (Rick Still article had previously been converted to a redirect). However, the only remaining ref linking the character to this person fail WP:RS (per discussion at talk:UFO Phil#Identity). As he has no other claims to notability, and the remaining refs are trivial mentions at best, nominating for deletion. - Barek (talkcontribs) - 22:29, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was procedural close. The page is a redirect, and this nomination is therefore in the wrong forum (should be discussed at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion instead). Redirects are simply titles that one can search for and be taken directly to another page. They have otherwise no content as an article. Note that certain rules about articles (like notability) do not necessarily apply to redirects (see WP:RFD#DELETE for valid reasons to delete redirects).

  • I'd say that he's not prolific enough to qualify under that criteria. That's the sort of thing that would qualify if he had written an extremely, extremely large amount of books. The expectation for prolific as notability is that the writer would have written closer to 100+ books, but even then that's not really enough to qualify because there would still need to be some sort of coverage to mark this as notable. The thing about this qualification is that self-publishing is making it incredibly easy (or at least easier) for people to publish everything they've written, whereas in the past only people who could afford the cost or had a publishing contract could get that many made. In other words, the only way that someone would get notability for writing a lot of books is if they were to have written an extremely large amount in a certain time period and/or received coverage about that doing so.

  • Although that said, I do see one of his works listed as a cite in this book through University Press of America. It's not enough to keep or even really show notability, but it does help assert that there might be sources in another language. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:35, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:COMPANY. Nitro Snowboards has not been the subject of any significant coverage by independent sources.

  • Comment - FYI User:Ad Orientem, the source I provided in my !vote above from Onboard magazine is a reliable source; it's from a paid-subscription magazine with editorial oversight. I post this because you keep saying "no" about everything that has to do with this article (e.g. "Nothing that would pass RS showed up on a Google search"), but the one I provided above is indeed a reliable source. Not to be overly picky, but did you bother to read and assess the source I provided above? You state that the topic appears to fail WP:V, but this is just incorrect per the source I posted. Please read the source I posted above. NorthAmerica1000 06:03, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Reply Hi NorthAmerica. I did actually take a glance at the source you found (good job in source hunting btw). I am uncertain as to its reliability though. Many of these magazines that deal with niche sports and limited markets are heavily dependent on advertising revenue from the same companies whose products they review. I have seen this with other sporting type publications that are bound to have a limited readership. One prominent example would be magazines that deal with guns and shooting sports. It is a common practice to give the velvet glove treatment when reviewing guns manufactured by major advertisers. In cases where they are so bad that one just can't write something nice about them they are usually returned to the manufacturer with a note suggesting a different model might be better for reviewing purposes. The practice is sufficiently widespread that it was mentioned rather prominently in a NY Times article a while back. My bottom line though is that while I don't dismiss all niche sport magazines as non-RS, I do treat them as suspect pending some firm evidence beyond their own claims to impartiality. I also note that Wikipedia discourages the use of sources too closely associated with the topic. But I do concede that this is a gray area and different people can look at the same source and come to different conclusions. If you feel it's RS I won't say you are wrong, because I can't prove that it is not RS. All I can say is that I am not convinced. This may be one of those situations where we may have to agree to respectfully disagree. Setting that aside however, the clear standard is for multiple reliable sources. So even if other editors were inclined to accept this one as RS compliant, I think we would still be a ways from meeting requirements for WP:N. Thanks for your comment and your work here. It seems like there is a chronic shortage of editors participating in AfD of late. Best regards... -Ad Orientem (talk) 07:20, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply, which is appreciated. I'm aware of the points you make above, but the source I provided doesn't appear to be a paid advertorial. It's a product review from a snowboarding magazine that snowboarding enthusiasts read to learn about snowboarding topics. NorthAmerica1000 07:30, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. LIke I said, this is a gray area. In the meantime I am suffering from sleep deprivation and making a hash out of adding a simple reference to my earlier comment.

Stress (physiology) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Confusingly there are two articles that cover the same ground, stress (physiology) and stress (biology). Stress (physiology) is the inferior of the two being much shorter and although references are listed they are not integrated into the text, making it very difficult to work with. At least some of the refs appearing in stress (physiology) also appear in stress (biology) properly integrated - so there is quite a lot of duplication. IMO its almost impossible to clean up stress (physiology) and then try to merge the two articles, which I originally thought of. There is probably little in stress (physiology) that isnt already in stress (biology) anyway. I propose that stress (physiology) is deleted and then stress (biology) renamed as stress (physiology) as it seems to me to be the better of the two names. Penbat (talk) 14:55, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Doing a merge just isn't practical. It would need an expert with access to most of the sources and it would be a lot of effort for very little benefit, there's very little in stress (physiology) that isnt already in stress (biology). I suspect any merge will takes years to get done. Also the choice of name isnt that much of a big deal, one would redirect to the other anyway. IMO the most important thing is to get stress (physiology) deleted ASAP to eliminate the confusion of two articles covering the same ground.--Penbat (talk) 08:19, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - So how do you propose to get round the problem that the refs in stress (physiology) are not integrated ? An alternative idea is to paste the Stress (physiology) text in its entirety onto the talk page of the new single article so it can be used as a resource rather than lost for good.--Penbat (talk) 09:15, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes lack of inline citation causes many problems down the line, particularly when other uses start adding unreferenced content into it. Do we know who the primary author was? Maybe they are more likely to have access the to the sources. Otherwise seems like it might be easier to find new refs... But, it is not like it is unreferenced. Seems strange to delete it/remove it to a talk page because no-one is available to merge it properly right now (that's not an attack on anyone, I include myself ... too much on atm). If merging only the paragraph I highlighted above, would not be so bad to stick all the refs from stress (physiology) at the end of the paragraph, as a temporary measure perhaps. Lesion (talk) 12:56, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The primary work was done by User:SarahMorse back in 2010. This was the only article she ever worked on. She obviously never realised that stress (biology) already existed at that time. The chances of contacting her are zero. A cleaner idea that I have seen done before is to set up the entire text of stress (physiology) as a subpage of the new single article and a note about the existence of and link to that subpage prominently displayed at the top of the talk page. Anybody who wanted to do serious work on the article would inspect the talk page for ideas.--Penbat (talk) 22:31, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Few hundred? Well, I have only heard of a few and Berkin Elvan is one of them. But all in all, I don't think the total number of people who died in this fashion would be more than a few dozen at most, so your argument that "lots and lots of people have died this way so it doesn't warrant an article" is rather unfounded. 78.182.218.250 (talk) 21:13, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OTHERSTUFF. This is a non-notable stub and as equates to WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 18:08, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And could you please outline the reasons as to why you may think Rodney King is notable and does not equate to WP:NOTMEMORIAL under the circumstances? I suspect your claim that this incident is non-notable stems from the fact that you read nothing about it other than the current stub on WP. 85.96.145.247 (talk) 20:53, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, the WP policy you referenced is aimed at preventing people from creating pages about any odd person who died of natural causes etc. and is of no particular interest to anyone. However when the death of a 14 year old kid sparks nationwide protests leading to more deaths and injuries and his funeral attracts a bigger crowd (1.3 million people) than that of any Turkish president, PM or statesman perhaps with the exception of Atatürk, I believe that makes him rather notable. 78.180.194.76 (talk) 21:55, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And could you please enlighthen us as to how thoroughly you've researched this topic to conclude that there is not enough information for a stand alone article? If this needs to be merged with or redirected to 2013 protests in Turkey, then surely Rachel Corrie should not have a stand alone article but needs to be merged with Israeli–Palestinian conflict no? Or why have a Lee Harvey Oswald article when it can be simply merged with or redirected to Assassination of John F. Kennedy? 78.184.164.39 (talk) 19:15, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How so? Do enlighten us please. Just how do you find Lee Harvey Oswald notable for anything other than his involvement in JFK assasination?

I am the author of all the anon posts above with the exception of the "Strong Keep" vote. Apparently my IP address changes frequently without my changing computers or resetting internet connection and that's obviously because I live in Turkey where the internet infrastructure has been recently tempered with to accomodate the wishes of the psychopathic PM of the country and his ilk. I believe the context makes it obvious that those messages were all written by me despite the different IP's, and the accusation of suck puppetry is fully unjustified. 78.182.215.227 (talk) 18:48, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is not entirely accurate. As an admin I can see the page history. What actually happened here was the article was incubated in 2011. There it sat untouched until 2013. Then you worked on the article and had a long conversation with yourself on the talk page in which you agreed with your own proposal to move it back to mainspace. Yet you never did so. A month later I nominated it for MFD. Neither you nor anybody besides me said a single word about the nomination, and so it was deleted. I would really appreciate it if you would stop attacking my motivations at every possible opportunity. The incubator is dead. Get over it already. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:20, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

some additional sources for Tricentris/Tosca
  Found some academic hits, mostly just WP:NOTEWORTHY mentions, plus only the first (v.likely: IEEE/IFETS), second (likely: MNT/IJLRST) and perhaps the third (big *maybe*) are likely to be WP:RS per our current WP:SCHOLAR guidelines. 2010 Latvia,[10] 2012 India,[11] 2012 Germany,[12] 2012 Czech Republic,[13] 2013 Sweden.[14]/[15] There was also this 2008 newsletter from Latvia, I think about a conference at the university, see page 7.[16]
 Found some book hits, not sure if they are WP:RS (some could be self-pub), nor if the coverage is merely WP:NOTEWORTHY rather than in-depth enough for WP:N, but as with the academic stuff above, the reasonable number for a piece of commercial stuff is indicative that the company/product is known. 2012, Experiences of Test Automation, Graham & Fewster - 2012.[17] 2012, Foundations of Software Testing, Black & Graham.[18] 2012, SWQD, Software Quality: 4th Int'l Conf, Biffl & Winkler & Bergsmann (eds), Springer-Verlag.[19][20] 2013, Improving the Test Process, Bath & Van Veenendaal.[21] (I also got some lawyer-hits... the words are apparently Latin-enough to be courtroom terms?)
 What I found pretty convincing for wikiNotability purposes was industry-stuff. Here is an in-English electronics-manufacturing trade-rag, for instance, with an in-depth WP:N-level interview of a Tricentris manager about the company & product.[22][23] Blurb about a deal in India.[24] The kicker was the Magic Quadrant published by Gartner; here is a Microsoft-cached-reprint of the 2011 award.[25] As a newcomer to the ranking in Jan'11, Tricentis got 300 words from Garnter... but they are the primary "enterprise software ranking" and being on the Magic Quadrant list is pretty wikiNotable methinks, if backed up by other coverage (see article reflist && above).
 Additional industry-stuff: the company claims to be a Gartner winner in 2013 as well.[26] Recent reports are heavily-paywalled-stuff, but can prolly be verified as coming from Garnter using WP:RX services, or interlibrary loan, or somesuch. I don't doubt the factual nature of these cites, despite the 'reprint' status of both; Gartner is very touchy about their trademark.  :-)   Similarly, the company-homepage alleges their big customers include BMW (cars) / Siemens (mfg) / Allianz (bank) in Germany, UBS (bank) in Switzerland, plus Southwest Airlines and HBO (teevee) in the USA.[27] Again, one tends to trust this sort of list; places like BMW are happy to sue the pants off you for trademark infringement, if you claim to be their supplier without their permission. Note the distinction I'm making here: I'm not saying that we can use the WP:ABOUTSELF rule to claim in *mainspace* that the company won two Gartner awards and has this big list of clients... I'm saying, that here in AfD, these claims are plausibly-enough WP:V, from traderags or German-lang-papers or somesuch, that they can help indicate whether the company is wikiNotable or not (by contrast the local pizza chain has prolly also dealt commercially with BMW ... but doesn't get trademark permission to boast about it on http://pizza4u.com ... which is my point).
  Bottom line, I think the German-language refs already in the article, the EETimes/EDN story, and the Garnter 2011 win (plus the likely-to-be-verifiable 2013 win held in reserve) add up to be WP:N. This company is a bit on the edge; in the Tosca/Tricentis industry (see List_of_GUI_testing_tools) the big five players are IBM, HP, Micro Focus fka Borland, Microsoft, and Oracle fka Sun Microsystems, all GIGANTIC compared to Tricentris. There are several notable FLOSS tools like Selenium (software), in the niche, as well. So how does Tosca make a profit? Well, because their niche ain't fun stuff like databases, webservers, spreadsheets, and browsers, let alone 'apps' about flying birds knocking over little green pigs. Tosca is boring enterprise software, used for verifying the security of back-end banking stuff, or for bullet-proofing software used in the manufacturing of cars & electronics, and SERUIZ things like that. Big software, that runs big businesses, with lots of money to spend. Some people have the opinion that only huge hypercorp businesses belong in wikipedia, like IBM, which Tricentris defintely isn't... but my opinion is simple: if Tricentris/Tosca meets WP:GNG, we should have the article. I tend not to spend as much time on WP:CORP as a means to define wikiNotability, since it is a guideline which echos the WP:GNG policy... and for that matter, WP:42. But from doing the sourcing, there seems to be pretty significant coverage in multiple wikiReliable sources independent of the topic in question.
  p.s. I have no opinion on 'correctness' of the incubator thing in 2011, when Tricentris was deleted and yet Tosca was kept, but I'll ping Beeblebrox in case they wish to comment. From my scan of the sources, Tricentris just makes the one product Tosca (software), so if we keep the overall topic, it should be an article about the company (with a subsection on the product), as Unscintillating suggested above (and as the WP:PRODUCT guideline suggests also). 74.192.84.101 (talk) 01:03, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for taking the time to research sources. Personally though, I don't think it changes much since they are either very brief or in very specialist publications.

That and the Daily Star article confirm that this institution grants diplomas and certificates, but it does not appear to be listed as a degree institution.

This has hung around since 2009. The "solution" was first to blank the article. It was then "improved" at Wikiversity, although that version is still unsourced. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:41, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. From worldcat, another source establishing notability of the topic would be: Aircraft propulsion and gas turbine engines, by Ahmed F El-Sayed, Boca Raton : CRC Press, ©2008. "Summary: 'Aircraft Propulsion and Gas Turbine Engines' covers aircraft engines and engine components in both power generation and marine applications. Offering a historical overview, this textbook contains a unique classification of all types of engine, examining the different performance parameters of each concept."
Hey, i am confused, i thought you nominated this for deletion. If this AFD is just to pre-empt someone else from nominating it for real, I am not sure that is helpful. I've objected to "fake" AFDs in some other cases. At the article's Talk page i see old discussion from 2009. And in the edit history of the article, i see a blanking back in 2009. Not sure if there is recent discussion leading to this AFD, though, if so where? Anyhow, could this AFD be closed as there is no one now wanting to see it deleted? Or if there is anyone, please notify them and make the discussion happen. --doncram 18:25, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alejandro Betancourt is a chairman and CEO of Derwick Associates, but there doesn't seem to be much on him separate to the company. There is one interview, and some passing mentions in other articles used as references, but not enough to show sufficient sources with non-trivial coverage of him, as an individual, so as to pass the notability requirements. It seems to make more sense to cover him within Derwick Associates, as required, than to have a separate article. Bilby (talk) 05:59, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While the study wasn't published until last October, the idea of a smell test for Alzheimer's predates it by at least a few years: [39] Also, I think the article should be kept per Northamerica1000's arguments above. Jinkinson talk to me 17:06, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No arguing that an olfactory test might be a useful diagnostic tool. “Olfactory test cognitive impairment” in pubmed returns many citations. But this article, is about one study not the test. It’s conclusion (as I understand it) is that if you can’t sniff peanut butter beyond 10cm out of your left nostril it’s diagnostically indicative of cognitive impairment (CI). It was a retrospective, case control study. It appears they were already doing the test and decided to case control it retrospectively by getting a normal sample group of similar age and gender. The gold standard appears to be clinical exam and DI to rule-out other causes of CI. They don’t mention the use of LP or biomarkers although it’s possible – my suspicion, given the retrospective nature of the study, was that diagnostic criteria varied by patient. Of the 133 in the “initial cohort” (e.g. those referred to a neurologist for CI) 65 where excluded (49%). No mention of meds that might impact olfactory response. This resulted in 4 groups; 18 with probable Alzheimer’s (AD), 24 amnestic CI, 26 with other causes and 26 in the control group. The mean sniffing distance for all groups and the right nostril of the AD group was (roughly) 17+/-9cm whereas the left nostril of the AD group was 5.1+/-4.9 cm. The study suffers from huge selection bias, observational bias and I question why they didn’t use long-term follow-up as part of the gold standard given the diagnostic challenges of Alzheimer’s. The point of this, is that it’s an interesting study and may lead to something bigger but it’s a far cry from a potential screening tool which is what many of the press reports imply. Why not create a “sniff test” article (generic – to the standards of MEDMOS for tests) rather than this specific peanut butter one? Ian Furst (talk) 19:35, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think the article is then an entryway to discuss Olfactory test cognitive impairment, and what published papers to date do have to say. In this way we are leveraging the notable interest, which is, for better or worse, the same kind of hook our own DYK articles, and mass media use, to talk about subjects that might otherwise be too boring for people to cake much about. Meanwhile we can also talk about the relative weight of any findings and offer insight what readers should consider with a report like this.

When in doubt, don't delete

[edit]

If you are uncertain whether or not an article should be deleted, it is best not to rush to have it deleted. Alternatives should be considered. These include:

and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BATHWATER#Don.27t_throw_the_baby_out_with_the_bathwater.21

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater!

[edit]

So, an article is not perfect. It is tagged for multiple issues. Its notability is in question. It has few if any references. It has some inaccurate or questionable information. It had loads of original research. But still, it has just the little spark of hope of being a viable article.

Well, if this is the case, the deletion process is not the route to take to solve the problems. That's what the talk page is for. Deletion of an article is damaging to Wikipedia and should only be used as a last resort. Content removal can be used to weed out problematic areas. Other adjustments can be made, which may include the addition of information and sources. It may take a lot of work. But it is well worth it!

On the other hand, there must actually be a baby in the bathwater. An article shouldn't be kept on the hopes that sources may be written about the topic one day; we all know that babies don't come from spontaneous generation in a dirty tub. They are brought by storks.

Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG and fails to state a reason why notability should be presumed in lieu of sources under WP:ANYBIO. Sources offered are either WP:PRIMARY, the subject's own online profiles, or the non-notable results of various high school competitions. Googling turned up nothing.

- I visited Daniel Estrem’s [DE] WP very recently and noted that it was up for

deletion so investigated this matter further.

The "Magnatune label appears to be a 'vanity' publisher" statement has been proven false and criterion 5 appears to be satisfied.

Magnatune is a leading independent record label and DE is not a "customer" of Magnatune as stated by LC.

As I understand it, he receives royalties from the sale of his recordings, rather than pays Magnatune for the privilege of being on the label.

I also note that almost all of the 29 CDs listed on Estrem’s Wikipedia page present his arrangements of music not heard previously on classical guitar, ukulele and mandola. This is a major contribution to his field of classical music!

For this reason I believe DE’s WP should remain on line.

- Nohkanfue I quote: has made Wikipedia:Single-purpose account few or no other edits outside this topic.

This is hardly surprising as I have only just joined Wikipedia and this thread. It is a totally irrelevant and unhelpful comment. Nohkanfue 1005 11th march 2014.


- Magnatune is definitely not a "vanity" label. The magnatune home page clearly states it is a pay music subscription service, with an acceptance rate of about 3%. Magnatune is considered one of the major indie music services: when newsweek did a roundup of the top 10 internet music services, CDBABY and Magnatune were the only independent services in the top 10. Most major Linux distributions come with built in music support for Magnatune (Rhythmbox, Amarok, and others) and Magnatune is considered one of the most significant commercial successes using Creative Commons licensing. Granted, Magnatune is not a major label, but it is absolutely one of the major indie music services. As to Daniel Estrem, his albums regularly appears in the top 10, so I do not believe he lacks notoriety. --User:johnbuckman (ceo of Magnatune) — Preceding undated comment added 05:03, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi John, Magnatune sounds great, even though it lacks a WP article. More to the point, it does not help satisfy criterion 5 of WP:BAND. Good luck with your service! I may try it. Logical Cowboy (talk) 13:03, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- LC, I believe that Estrem satisfies criteria 5 of WP:BAND, specifically: "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable)." as Magnatune is an "important indie label", has been in operation since 2003 and has hundreds of artists (many notable, such as Jami Sieber and Brad Sucks), and over 1500 albums. Also note that Magnatune does have a long-existing WP page -- I've now changed named occurrences to it in this talk page to link to Magnatune's WP page so this fact is more transparent, and have also added a new sentence in Estrem's page linking to the WP Magnatune page. --User:johnbuckman
OK, thanks John. Of course you do have a MASSIVE COI here. Logical Cowboy (talk) 23:03, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- LC, Estrem's fate isn't a massive COI for me, as Magnatune has over 600 artists, and it doesn't matter much to me whether some of them have WP pages or not. Estrem asked me to put some facts into this discussion thread, because of the "magnatune is a vanity label" comment above, and all my points are independently verifiable. --User:johnbuckman — Preceding undated comment added 15:04, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reason FBevangelical (talk) 20:08, 7 March 2014 (UTC) No reliable, independent sources have discussed National Registered Agents, Inc. The company isn't remotely notable. Even if its links worked, they're not third-party links; the article is based on primary/original research. No independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found.[reply]

Delete Upon searching the history of the article; I fail to see how this article ever met: 1- "unverifiable" (violates WP:V) There's no verifiable sources. 2 links to internal press releases are not verifiable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:V 2- "does not meet WP:BIO" Does not pass notability test on any level. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BIO 3- "non-neutral point of view" (violates WP:NPOV)Most of the edits on this page are from users promoting themselves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NOR

It looks like all of these points have been brought up since 2007 on the article and no one has either added something relevant or deleted the article.

Delete I originally placed a notability tag on this page after stumbling upon it. Although the anonymous motion for deletion above doesn't cite the proper rules for deletion, I agree with the general sentiment. The references to support the page are broken links, which appear to have once been press releases. I've done quite a few searches, and cannot find any significant, independent coverage from reliable, third-party sources (most other companies in the registered agent industry also appear to have the same problems). The organization fails to meet any of Wikipedia's notability guidelines (WP:ORGSIG) and it has had these issues since 2007. If anything had happened in the past seven years to help make the company notable, I'm sure I or someone else would have found it by now. I think it's time that the page goes away. Thanks!

I am unable to find any secondary sources referring to the company. The author of the article appears to be affiliated with the subject's holding company. I decided not to nominate his previous article, Offshore Incorporations Limited Group, when a search through that company's news archives turned up coverage in secondary sources. A search of Vistra's news archive for the past couple years showed only press releases. I would assume that if there was any coverage of the company that I hadn't found through Google searches, the company itself would have linked to the articles on their news page.

Delete. While one would think this company would be notable based on its size and reach, I also could find no secondary sources for it on Google. A High Beam search turned up several articles which are company press releases. All information I could find about the company therefore came from primary sources. The company's wealth management services are private and presumably they do not want much information to get into the public domain. The company might be notable if secondary sources confirming some facts about the company could be found but under the circumstances, I think it fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
