The result was Delete and salt. This is a difficult decision but I'm going to have to make a decision one way or the other to end this recreation/renomination cycle. I will delete it because:

I refer people to Deletion Review if they wish to pursue this further. - Richard Cavell (talk) 08:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated for speedy and declined. Non-notable company/website, spammy, no reliable sources. Re-creation of a previous article that has been deleted as spam THREE times (albeit with a different title). ukexpat (talk) 15:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC). Also, WP:SALT to prevent re-creation.  – ukexpat (talk) 15:46, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment by nom: I did nominate for speedy but it was declined (on rather thin grounds, IMHO, but that's not relevant). – ukexpat (talk) 15:43, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
May I also suggest SALT-ing the title as there is no doubt it will be recreated a fourth time if this AfD succeeds. Darrenhusted (talk)

Comment Please note that some of the people "voting" delete above did do research. Saying that we didn't bother looking at this is ridiculous. This article neither asserts notability nor did it make any attempt at reliable 3rd party sourcing (both of which articles which aren't simply advertising should have from the beginning). Also, and somewhat separately why does "Moneyfacts" redirect to Ethical banking? Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Aren't "has over half a million users" and "supply the majority of the national and regional press and over 100 Financial websites with Best Buy charts" assertions of notability? And wouldn't the normal research done by anyone nominating or commenting at AfD include a news archive search? I've no idea why Moneyfacts redirected to Ethical banking - you'd better ask User:Mac who did it if you really want to know. I've changed the redirect to go to the page under discussion here.

I grant you the users thing and the other thing says popular. I was under the impression notability was about more than just that though. The news stuff I saw seemed to be moneyfacts commenting on other people and not the other way around (which is also something I thought was the requirement). I'm willing to change to a weak keep if I was wrong on these though. It still doesn't justify your generalisation of people though. Jasynnash2 (talk) 14:45, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Many of the Google News hits are reporting quotations from Moneyfacts, but many also are major media sources referring to Moneyfacts as one of the best places to go for information on the UK consumer finance market. The first 50 of those hits include such statements from the BBC, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent and The Times - the five major non-tabloid general news sources in the UK.
