Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unnotable company; no evidence of significant coverage, does not meet the criteria in WP:CORP. A prod of this page was removed even though it was endorsed. Triplestop (talk) 18:26, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep and improve It appears to be a real corporation, a large REIT. Granted, the article is woefully inadequate. However, corporations of this size are definitionally notable.Historicist (talk) 18:35, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Passes WP:N per this Google News Archive search. See this article, this article and this article from the Los Angeles Business Journal, as well as a brief mention in the Los Angeles Times. Cunard (talk) 18:40, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * And is there any significant coverage beyond a local business journal and a brief mention in a local paper? Triplestop (talk) 18:59, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What is wrong with local sources? The LA Business Journal and the LA Times are both reputable publications. Cunard (talk) 19:02, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep This is a mortgage REIT, publically traded on the NYSE with a market cap of about 0.7 billion USD. A shadow of its former self but still considered notable per WP:CORP.  Plenty of references like Hoovers and BusinessWeek profiles and also coverage in news because of the financial "crisis".  Triplestop, if you look at WP:CORP in the sub-sub-section "Publicly traded corporations" you'll see it meets. And the LA Times, NY Times, etc. are not considered merely "local".

 * Strong Keep. Did the nominator even make a good-faith attempt to confirm the alleged lack of sources? In less than two minutes, I found numerous nontrivial mentions in highly reliable publications.

 * Strong keep. The listing on the NYSE alone is strong evidence of notability. I think that pretty much makes it automatic, in fact. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 22:32, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
