BMI Appraisals

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Advertisement for a non-notable business. Contested proposed deletion, not mine. Article about the parent company of this business was deleted after discussion at Articles for deletion/BMI Group (Hong Kong). Business is a financial services company that provides consultancy services in areas of real estate valuations, plant & machinery valuations, and business valuations.

The shoveled-on external links are press releases and directory listings, which are either self-published or unreliable sources and trade-related publicity websites with small audiences. The bits that are in reliable sources are not about this business, but rather about corporate governance standards generally on the Hong Kong stock exchange. There might be an article that could be written about that subject, and I'd be happy to see the contributors have a go at it; but the subject of this article does not have the kind of historical significance that makes for notability in Wikipedia. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:22, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Notability not established. The company may have affiliate membership of one or more professional organisations (this is not clear) and have had clients that are quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (this is not clear either) but this does not confer notability. The generalised text concerning the importance of corporate governance and valuation does not confer notability. Any bicycle courier firm could claim as much, citing its major clients and its green credentials. We are given few indications of the size of the organisation except that it has two offices. We are told it gives to charity but not how much or how it stands in comparison to other donors (there are certainly many companies giving scholarships of some size or other at Hong Kong Polytechnic University). There seems little prospect that further editing will establish notability, though the article's creator (who has a clear WP:COI) may be hoping a Wikipedia article will confer it.
