Algorates

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Organisation is non-notable. Only sources are press releases, which make dubious claims about the company which, coincidentally, isn't registered in the UK despite it claiming to be a limited company. Bbosh (talk) 15:29, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Algorates is described by multiple media sources including Fox News, the International Business Times (http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/high-frequency-trading-wall-street-rigged-1442734) and the Wall Street Journal as one of the first to employ HFT (High Frequency Trading) and Algotrading in the market, and is therefore clearly notable. It is a subsidiary of Algo Capital in the United Kingdom which is regulated as a financial services company by the FCA in the UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeffB7211 (talk • contribs) 02:10, 4 October 2014‎  — JeffB7211 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * That source gives the company only a trivial mention. Doesn't qualify for assessing notability. ~Amatulić (talk) 03:44, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. Being "one of the first" is not an assertion of significance as required to avoid speedy deletion in accordance with WP:CSD. The fact that all the sources are either press releases or directory listings fits the typical format of a publicity piece masquerading as an article, qualifying it for speedy deletion in accordance with WP:CSD. ~Amatulić (talk) 03:44, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
