 * Articel should NOT be deleted. Article spells out nonpartial facts relating to company.

 * Comment. Note that as of these writings, the preceding contributors have five or less edits and are recent accounts. Please also note that these articles were previously speedied after being written by an InvestmentAdvisor who wrote them in the exact order from Astor Group's website. I will leave the conclusions from there up to the reader. Seraphimblade 06:04, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Sound like it came straight off the corporate fact-sheet, and it fails to convince me that the company is notable. --Brianyoumans 07:38, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable ad, and vote spamming (even though this isn't a vote) by spa accounts. yandman  07:52, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per above. So tagged. MER-C 09:30, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - It's just a peg on which to hang a link to the corporate website, isn't it? BTLizard 12:40, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Ad for NN company.  Emeraude 12:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Searching, I cannot find anything at all written about this investment bank, apart from various Yellow Pages entries and some recruitment advertisements. The WP:CORP criteria are not satisfied.  Goldman Sachs shows how this company is very different to Goldman Sachs. Delete. Uncle G 15:12, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I spent awhile yesterday tagging this whole walled garden for Astor and its clients as spam when created by . Looks like he has a new username (or more than one, based on posts above) but the same goals. Nowhere close to WP:CORP, and clearly self-promotional. Fan-1967 15:35, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, agree this is a borderline case for speedy deletion. Even if the company were notable, this content is junk that would have to be rewritten from the top. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:00, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above Hobbeslover talk/contribs 16:59, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
