Speedy deletion nomination of Corporate Finance Associates


A tag has been placed on Corporate Finance Associates, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.  DGG ( talk ) 09:31, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. Following its tagging by another admin, I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
 * it's all about what the company is selling plus a bit of history. little about the company itself other than locations. How many employees? Turnover? Profits?
 * Examples of unsourced claims, speculation or mind-reading presented as fact include: ''looking for new ways to increase the number of "associates"... to serve the M & A needs... articulated his philosophy of being in business for yourself... The model proved successful... Recognizing an opportunity for bringing principals into direct contact with clients worldwide... In 1956 few could have predicted that a single individual, with an entrepreneurial vision... the "right stuff"... to be celebrating

If you recreate
 * place your references in the the text following the fact each supports using . Then    at the end will automatically generate a numbered list
 * "Mr. Rothberg" is unnecessarily deferential. He's not your boss here
 * External links should only have your company's main page, no blogs or social media (they aren't suitable as refs either)
 * The list of individual locations looks spammy, is poor style and adds nothing to the article except making it more likely to be deleted

I'll post the deleted text here shortly Jimfbleak - talk to me?  05:54, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
