[edit] OK Finance

OK Finance (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Advertisement for a financial company. I don't think the notability is established in the article. Damiens.rf 13:40, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete A small company like millions of others that doesn't stand out for anything in particular, and doesn't appear in the news. Noy even the article says why this finance company is notable (apart from going bankrupt). Cambrasa confab 14:13, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as an advert. Doesn't even have Carol Vorderman advertising it! :-) Had a quick hunt through a variety of news sources, and found nothing to indicate why the company would be notable. -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 14:18, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nomination. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:05, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment. All that I can find is the administrator's announcement of a meeting of creditors which appeared in the London Gazette, so I'm not going to argue that this company is notable or should be kept. I think, though, that style issues such as "advertisement" aren't in themselves reason to delete, and that they shouldn't be used as arguments in favor of deletion. --Eastmain (talk) 06:49, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete As per earlier observations. Ecoleetage (talk) 13:15, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I actually created this article. As it happens, the company is now bankrupt. JFBurton (talk) 18:12, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
