Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Finance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

This is an odd one. The article was declined twice at draft, as it was sourced almost entirely by primary sources. Up until July, the article creator described the company as "a financial services firm headquartered in Lahore, Pakistan. The company was founded in late 2019 by Muhammad Salman Saadi, a finance professional." Their website at that point said the same, up until 16 June, at which point it appears to have gone offline.

On 5 September, article creator rewrote the article, now describing it as: "a research institute based in Lahore, Pakistan, that specialises in leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to drive advancements in healthcare research", quite a remarkable pivot, and moved the article to main space as Saadi Corporation Limited. The chairman from the original article is now listed as the CEO. I can find nothing on the company in reliable sources, just social media, and their website is still down. The research paper they submitted to Oncogenesis appears to be sitting in the submission queue, as I can find no trace of it elsewhere online, and nothing to show that this meets WP:CORP.

Contested draft, so we're here. The role has no inherent notability and sourcing found does not establish ANYBIO or the GNG Star Mississippi 20:49, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe that this article should be deleted for the following reasons:
(1) The articles cited aptly profiles Philip Ikeazor amongst other appointees of the President (Ahmed Bola Tinubu) eg https://newswirengr.com/2023/09/16/meet-philip-ikeazor-a-cbn-deputy-governor-nominee-with-over-30-years-of-experience-in-the-financial-services-industry/ and (2)
(2) The Central Bank of Nigeria is a high profile organization, charged with monetary policy and regulating financial services (like the Bank of England and the US Treasury). It's clout, and pedigree is not in doubt. Being appointed Deputy Governor of this bank is quite a high-profile thing, endowing you with instant notability.
(3) He was cited here by Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/person/16567452?embedded-checkout=true) as a former CEO/MD of Keystone Bank(a major Deposit Money Bank in Nigeria)
HIS BIO
In this Youtube Video of the Nigerian Senate proceedings, Ikeazor read out his bio before the Senate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsxJ6lKgEoE. This video channel wasn't Ikeazor's personal youtube channel, but Arise News (Thisday Newspaper's Television channel). His testimony before the Senate is judicially admissible anywhere as credible and under oath. The Senate confirmation was also covered by The Punch Newspapers, which I cited here https://punchng.com/breaking-senate-confirms-cardoso-cbn-gov-four-others-as-deputies/#google_vignette
Most of the bio he read out are verifiable on the following websites: (1)https://businessnews.com.ng/2013/01/31/ikeazor-appointed-keystone-bank-mdceo/ , https://blerf.org/index.php/biography/ikeazor-philip/ and here https://greenwichregistrars.com/board-of-directors/
Finally, Ikeazor has been cited and covered on major independent newspapers and I cited them eg the below link.
https://dailypost.ng/2024/06/28/cbn-mulls-policies-to-tackle-cyber-insecurity-in-nigerian-financial-sector/
I do firmly believe that notability has been established.
Thanks Cfaso2000 (talk) 21:16, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have searched for more sources of notability of the subject (please see reference No 7(Independent.ng) and added reference no 11(THISDAY Live). The two news articles in major independent newspapers, in addition to other sources already provided, support his notability, and they are from way back 2020 and 2018 before his current appointment. I will continue to build on the article and contributions to improve the article are most welcome. @Star Mississippi thanks a lot for helping to improve the article.

  • Delete per Oaktree b. Nothing in terms of WP:SIGCOV. The only person advocating to keep the article is the subject himself, who likely paid for the article to be created in the first place given the author was blocked for UPE. Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:58, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An article about a finance company. Previous instances were soft-deleted at AfD (January 2022) and deleted at AfD in April 2024; this instance was created by a new editor, rejected at AfC in July, then moved into main space by the article creator. The present article content lists acquisitions and licenses which fall under WP:ORGTRIV; the most substantial references are the interview pieces in Times Now and Cyprus Business News, but these are presenting a company-aspirational view. I don't see sufficient coverage to demonstrate attained notability. AllyD (talk) 08:42, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Concurring with nom, and also with the previous instances of soft-deletions at AfD. Although future notability might be possible from what seems to be emerging scandals about tech breaks coming to light. GuardianH (talk) 19:19, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Greedflation (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I know Shrinkflation exists, but not every neologism needs its own page, many times pages such as this require much more substantial coverage to show the term is lasting and not simply a product of WP:Recent as well. Iljhgtn (talk) 02:54, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - this is a distinct concept and one that is widely discussed in politics around the world and needs its own page to reflect that discussion. Also, the article when this notice was posted had 48 references - how many references does an article need to show that it is notable?
Update: Keep and move to: Sellers' inflation - this is a more encyclopedic/academic synonym.
The article also has incorporated some of the feedback given here including shifting away from listing examples to two new sections:
1) 'Mechanisms' which outlines the drivers of sellers' inflation according to this theory (information assymetry and monopoly power)
2) 'Proposed remedies' that quickly summarizes the tools proposed to address inflation under this theory (e.g. windfall profit taxes and price caps). Superb Owl (talk) 02:56, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I meant 'greedflation' of course. It gets hard sometimes, keeping all the neologisms straight. Marcus Markup (talk) 15:38, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, I now think that a Merge !vote into Price gouging would also make sense, with the content greatly condensed too. I am ok with either a merge or a delete closing. Iljhgtn (talk) 12:32, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I would argue that Price Gouging is more accurately an example of Greedflation, rather than the other way around. A lot of these sorts of terms are also very contentiously defined on the internet, and there's a substantive lack of authoritative positions on it on Wikipedia or elsewhere. MasterOfGrey(MoG) (talk) 01:34, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: as seen in discussion so far, the relationship between greedflation/sellers' inflation and price gouging is not really clear to me; can't tell from scanning both articles. I'm not comfortable voting until it's clearer. I think it's possible that the articles can have sufficiently different scope to merit separate articles. seefooddiet (talk) 18:37, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: I'm going to relist this once. While, numerically, more editors are arguing for a Merge, several editors believe that this subject is distinct from that of the merge target article (and one of those editors said so without offering a bolded "vote"). So, I think the difference of opinion is worth considering for a few more days.

Different Merge, I am not certain that "Seller's inflation" and so called "Greedflation" are the same thing, but regardless, I am now thinking that the better merge might be on the Inflation article instead of Price gouging. Either way, I still believe that either merge (to Inflation or Price gouging) is an improvement over keeping this hyper-recent neologism as its own article. Iljhgtn (talk) 18:32, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A sub-section on Inflation would be best. Iljhgtn (talk) 18:33, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as it is a relatively modern coined term and was a candidate for Word of the Year by Collins Dictionary in 2023. The sourcing is good for the page to remain. --美しい歌 (talk) 10:59, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. The Price gouging page seems like a better place for this content, at least some of it. Doctorstrange617 (talk) 16:45, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - 1) Having trouble seeing where the current version would fit in either the price gouging or the inflation articles. 2) The topic seems very notable and is not the same as price gouging (which is just one way to cause sellers' inflation) (update: did not know commenting twice was not allowed) Superb Owl (talk) 06:54, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment, @Superb Owl was the creator of the original "Greedflation" page, and has already cast a !vote in the earlier listing. My understanding is that one does not get to !vote again after a closing admin relists a AfD discussion. I would respectfully ask @Superb Owl to do a strikethrough of this latest comment.
    Also, just to clarify, since I did comment above again after the relisting as a Different Merge, but that was new information, not more of the same. Also, I am still perfectly satisfied with a Merge into Price gouging if that is the most well-defined consensus as demonstrated above. Iljhgtn (talk) 14:41, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Your second comment was what confused me and did not know that is how relisting comments worked - thanks for letting me know. Superb Owl (talk) 15:35, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, personally I feel like "greedflation" is kind of a left-wing buzzword more than it's an actual concept that needs a mention on wikipedia.
I think greedflation should redirect to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%E2%80%932023_inflation_surge. It doesn't really warrant its own page. MJThomasH (talk) 15:57, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, the consensus would appear to be somewhat in favor of the merge, but I would like to add that the Keep !votes have been largely devoid of policy arguments. Both WP:NEO and WP:Recent as mentioned on the Merge side seem to clearly should that "Greedflation" is too recent to warrant inclusion and having its own unique article. The coverage also is often more about "Sellers' inflation", so regardless that should be the name of the new section when merged over to Price gouging. 170.170.200.174 (talk) 01:46, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While I see the concept as often overused, it still exists as a concept distinct from price gouging (which is a short-term response to an emergency). It's closer to profiteering. Jerdle (talk) 00:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
