Financial data feeds

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article has been declared by the creating editor to be one which will contain no references but will contain code samples (this edit summary refers), thus it is out of scope for Wikipedia. Perhaps a 'how to' site is more appropriate, but it has no place here. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 21:11, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Note that the article appears on casual reading to have references. At first sight that is what they are, but follow them and you find they are either to the individual corporation's own web site, or are non WP:RS Fiddle Faddle (talk) 21:53, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. We have rather rudimentary articles financial data vendor and financial data processor, but apparently no general article on financial data.  Stock market data systems would also be relevant.  I suspect that these feeds are at least as worthy of articles as the other two we already have, but my preference would be to have a top level article that discussed financial market data and its transmission from the ticker tape days to the present.  The computing source code obviously isn't English and needs to go.  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 22:35, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Answer I was looking for a way to publish an article demonstrating the importance of FREE Financial Data Feeds. The majority of small investors or new potential investors willing to learn about stock markets need to play with data to understand how markets are moving and how volatility, liquidity concepts weigh in their buy/sell decisions. In my mind, the only way to demonstrate such concept is by examples understand code examples not straight English verbiage. If such king of rather technical article as other places to be put in, please advise. I do not want to write, just historical nor rather plain English article, unfortunately source code is this case worth the 1000 images, since it is rather simple to use.

 * Delete as per Setrar, who very clearly demonstrates why this is not a suitable article in its present form. If the subject cannot be described adequately in English, and if we have no sources that offer such a description, then we cannot (under our present rules) have an article on that subject. With proper sources, some mention might be worthwhile at one or more of the articles noted above. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 13:39, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
