Bridgewater Bank

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:NORG, WP:Notability, and WP:Permastub, and following the lead of User:Piotrus and User:Mrschimpf, this article may not be notable or, if it is, it is either a permastub or an emerging permastub. Its edits have been few and far between over the years, often limited to trivial cleanup or adding tags. It could easily be consolidated into Alberta Motor Association, which wholly owns this small Canadian bank, as a separate section, if it isn't already, as was done with CTBC Bank (Canada) into CTBC Bank.

 * Delete. As written, fails WP:NORG. Operating for a bit over 10 years, not historically significant. Ping me if there are new sources/arguments presented so I can reconsider my vote. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:19, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:NCORP; the only sources online are about a different bank in Minneapolis. The only sources provided are either from their website, or merely passing mentions. Luke  Talk  20:09, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * , Interesting. I was doing a quotation mark-enclosed phrase search, so no results showed up for the Minnesota-based Bridgewater Bank. This further adds to the need to delete this article, in case that bank were notable (although, it, too, does not appear to be). Doug Mehus (talk) 20:15, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: Non-notable bank. No significant coverage per WP:CORP. SL93 (talk) 23:09, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Bridgewater Bancshares/Bridgewater Bank is listed as one of the top five top bank stocks to purchase and is indexed by NASDAQ.   For a company to reach this level, it *obviously* has to be notable. That’s not something a local credit union would achieve. I actually feel a bit surprised that my opinion here seems to be in the minority, but stand by it. Eliko007 (talk) 20:48, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * , (1) No, Bridgewater Bancshares is an entirely separate company from Bridgewater Bank. The two have NOTHING to do with each other; thus, I request you, or an admin, strike your vote and (2) publicly-traded does not equal notability. In this case, though, this company is not publicly-traded. It is an insignificant, non-notable bank subsidiary that deals chiefly in the deposit and mortgage broker space. It generates little press coverage, all of it trite, trivial, and insignificant. Doug Mehus (talk) 20:52, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
