 * Comment There was international coverage at the time of the collapse (e.g. paywalled FT and Economist articles whose detail I cannot see). More visibly, there is a 2018 "Explainer: Amber Gold Affair" (TVP) summary, covering the collapse and its political implications in Poland. AllyD (talk) 11:40, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I have access to The Economist, if anyone needs the article. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:39, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: As well as the semi-visible coverage that I linked above and The Independent article now linked in the article, Wikipedia Library / Proquest finds a Wall Street Journal piece (SOBCZYK, M., 2012, Aug 15. World News: Gold Fund's Collapse Rattles Poland. Wall Street Journal. ISSN 00999660) saying that the company's collapse had "shaken confidence in the effectiveness of the nation's financial regulation, and is roiling national politics in the European Union's largest emerging economy" which is indicative of notability. (I did wonder whether this article might be better titled something like "Amber Gold case", as its significance is more in its fallout than in its active operation, but the crossover with the OLT Express article may be better under the present title.)

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep. The company is notable for a very large corruption scandal. One could consider whether the company is notable outside that event and whether this shouldn't be rewritten to focus on the scandal instead, but probably both are notable. Here are some academic works discussing the company and the incident: journal, journal, (Bachelor thesis), licenciate work, master work, there are others. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  02:38, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
