Speedy deletion nomination of Finastra


A tag has been placed on Finastra 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 a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "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, then please contact the. CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 19:55, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

the finastra page was created because that is the name of the newly formed company created by the merger of two companies that already have articles in Wikipedia. If the two companies that merged were themselves important/notable enough to merit articles (and not be deleted), then it stands to reason that the company thus formed by the merger would also be at least as important/notable. I do not have the time nor expertise to write an entire article, but the D+H and Misys pages are now out of date because those two separate companies no longer exist. What is the protocol for company articles when there is a merger or acquisition?

This press release, although arguably not interesting, is not advertising:

"Misys and D+H have revealed details of their planned merger, creating a global behemoth in the market for financial software under a new brand name Finastra. The combination will create the third largest financial services technology company in the world. The company has approximately 10,000 employees and over 9,000 customers across 130 countries, including 48 of the top 50 banks globally. The move follows the March acquisition of D+H by Vista Equity Partners, which already owns Misys."


 * Wikipedia content should be based on reliable third-party sources, not press releases. For now I have redirected Finastra to Misys; that article already covers the merger with D+H. There doesn't seem to be anything else to be said about Finastra at this time. Huon (talk) 22:15, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
