 * OK, if this really is the successor company to a 100 year old bank (and if we can find a reference saying so), I'm pretty sure we have a notable subject here. I'm going to put my comments on the talk page of this article; then we can use this page for the actual draft. I'll copy your comments there too. --MelanieN (talk) 21:41, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Melanie, I did find this Wikipedia connection for TRFG when I received a Google alert this morning regarding my draft (which greatly surprised me!) Two Rivers Financial Group is listed as a holding company with no page yet created. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_holding_companies Thanks! Dbridge59 (talk) 13:43, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Very interesting! I have no idea how that happened but we will make use of it later when we launch the article. We haven't really decided yet whether to call the article "Two Rivers Financial Group" or "Two Rivers Bank and Trust" - that will depend partly on what kind of reference coverage you find, and ultimately it will be your decision. But whichever we name it, we will create a WP:redirect from the other name, so it won't really matter - both names will take a reader to the article. --MelanieN (talk) 14:51, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
