 * Delete - Article is unreferenced and completely promotional. Looking at the version at creation, it would appear to have always been promotional.  The official website is now dead, but it appears they are now at www.afmx.co which oddly, seems to be a copy of the Wikipedia article, complete with links back into wikipedia.  The only coverage I can find is a small mention in this article.  This falls short of what we need to write an article about this company instead of the current advertising.  Fails notability for companies. -- Whpq (talk) 18:46, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - even assuming the facts are true, I can't see that this is a commodity exchange in the western definition of the term. It appears to be a ten-year-old market, but one so small, albeit somewhat diversified, as to be more more of an up and coming operation than what a reasonable reader would understand by the usual term. I'm willing to change my mind if someone could find sources to prove otherwise. Bearian (talk) 16:14, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
