Edelweiss Broking Limited

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Was redirected to parent company, as this subsidiary does not have enough independent notability for a standalone article. In addition, the article is currently nothing more than an advertisement. The article was created by a user with the name of the subsidiary, who was promptly blocked for violating the username policy. The redirect was then reverted by a new account which was created less than two hours after the first account was blocked.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:15, 12 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi User:onel5969, I completely agree with you that this article was created with a username which is not allowed. It was my very first experience as a wiki writer.I felt a need to write about this entity.It has an office near my residence. I knew about it for a significant time but never knew how big this firm is. I recently came to know that it is a fast growing brand in India but I could not find it on wikipedia. So, I felt that this should be my very first article. But being a beginner I made a mistake of naming my username as the name of the company itself. It took a lot of time to gather all the information and write this article. After you told it is an advertisement, I looked at various financial services companies of India like Zerodha, Motilal Oswal Group, Angel Broking . Then, I realized that this article just have company information and history, not even any product detailing or awards etc. compared to other articles. I am a keen learner and will love to know what can I edit here.


 * Thanking you in anticipation. Piyushpanc (talk) 13:30, 12 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Responded to you on my talk page.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:36, 12 January 2017 (UTC)


 * SNOW Delete and Redirect as this is clear advertising only sourced by their own published and republished business announcements and there's no automatic inherited notability from anything or anyone else and there never has been here, the information and sources are all suggestive of PR, so that alone is enough to delete. There's never a defense when it's even clear paid press is being as sources, which says enough. To add, I even looked at the history and the article author is the company account in which then this other account is now contributing hence all confirming an advertised campaign. Even if there was double or triple the amount of "news", that wouldn't excuse the clear advertisement of them. SwisterTwister   talk  17:50, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

kindly suggest if you still feel I am wrong. I would love to learn from you and follow in my future editings. Thanking you in anticipation. Piyushpanc (talk) 11:55, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi User:SwisterTwister, Thanks for highlighting the notability issue. I have reverted to User:onel5969 as below : Here I am presenting few URLs which you can review for notability. http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=128483696 https://www.bloomberg.com/profiles/companies/0285631D:IN-edelweiss-broking-ltd , http://www.vccircle.com/bizcircle/company/company_details/Edelweiss_Broking_Ltd.--81462 , http://forbesindia.com/article/boardroom/how-edelweiss-built-a-business-for-the-long-run/39907/1 , http://www.sebi.gov.in/sebiweb/home/pmd_mb.jsp?PmdIndxName=Edelweiss&listCode=C , Bloomberg is the top website in finance sector. VCC Circle is independent news website. SEBI is the Indian Government Exchange Regulatory Body. Kindly suggest if it is still not sufficient. Also, I have already mentioned above that this has nothing to do with PR activity as whatever I know about company that only I have written, nothing like products or awards or press releases or revenue etc. Whatever I posted, the information I got on google and put here for citation. I think it's the company's problem if they are not having much differentiation in URLs. I can write a mail to their customer service if you suggest so. For company name as author, I have given explanation here. User_talk:Edelweiss_Broking_Limited Kindly have a look.

Thanks for your time and patience

Week Keep or Redirect Merge with Parent company is the only option here. This company is definitely notable. Light2021 (talk) 05:03, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Piyushpanc (talk) 19:08, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot Light2021 for noticing it. I tried to write as neutral as possible. Kindly suggest why should we not keep it as it is instead of redirecting? I will love to learn and improve.
 * I agree on the notability part Piyushpanc . There has to be significant content for encyclopedic standards for each to write independent article for each. in this case One would suffice. Light2021 (talk) 06:07, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
