Financial services conglomerate

This spammy article is one of many created to promote the book that is cited as its sole reference; the title is a neologism that is a fork between Financial Services and Conglomerate. --Gavin Collins 09:29, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep: Not a neologism, regularly used in press, advertisements and online: see, , , , for examples. If the reference is spammy, delete it. The expression is in frequent use. The lack of references does not meet the criteria for deletion; the lack of existence of any anywhere is. The appropriate flag is stub and/or unreferenced.--Gregalton 12:52, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Additional info: please see EU Financial Conglomerates Directive. I shouldn't think the distinction between financial conglomerate and financial services conglomerate is significant; and as an EU directive, clearly the notability and relevance should not be in question.--Gregalton 13:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, or Redirect and Merge the little info there is to Conglomerate (company). Not much chance of expansion as far as I can see - not enough for a separate article. Clarityfiend 18:57, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge into Financial services. Information just clears the line over a dicdef, and would seem a valuable addition after section "Intermediation or advisory services" as section "Conglomerates" to clarify multi-role companies. 216.201.119.71 16:54, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into financial services as above. Too little differentiation for a separate article. --Dhartung | Talk 23:15, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
