Speedy deletion nomination of DF Markets


A tag has been placed on DF Markets requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Dengero (talk) 13:47, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Deletion
Sorry about that, but you may not have made a good choice for your first article. Not every company gets an article here, as we are an encyclopaedia not a directory. Please look at WP:CORP which is our policy on corporate notability. Then look at WP:RS about reliable independent sources. Yours weren't. FSA registration only shows existence, forexbrokers gives me a totally blank page and the URL suggests it would be a profile anyway, FXEmpire is a profile, and prnewswire is a press release. Profiles are usually supplied by the subject, and aren't independent. Press releases aren't worth tuppence in showing notability. In the first five pages of Google hits for "DF Markets", I could see nothing. Stock brokers (I assume they are?) aren't often the subject of widespread coverage in independent sources, unless they turn out to be running a Ponzi scheme or something. Another point was that there was a hint of promotionality - words like 'offers' are not the best ones to use here. If you think you can find the sources, do so and build round them. Do it in your userspace at User:FinancialArticles/DRAFT, and then ask for advice. Peridon (talk) 18:04, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
