Globex Trading System

No evidence of any notability. Most of the refs are from a single Wiki which is not reliable and only one other source. Contentious text sourced to its own web-site has been removed. Previously speedily deleted on 8th September  Velella  Velella Talk 19:26, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have added a couple of references but it is debatable whether this topic should be more than a redirect to Chicago_Mercantile_Exchange which provides a succinct summary of the development of this platform. AllyD (talk) 08:07, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Obviously notable. While CME essentially has become Globex, this took a long time - and for two+ decades Globex ran concurrent to the pits with different contract sizes. In any event - this is the system on which most of the future contracts, worldwide by volume, are traded. Even a cursory google books search for "Globex", shows notability.

 * Keep - Globex was set up in 1992 by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and provides an electronic trading platform for futures and option contracts. I think there is no doubt that it meets our notability criteria. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:33, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Chicago Mercantile Exchange, lots of passing mention, where is the substantive coverage. Important yes, but that doesn't make for notability.  Stick with section in the CME article. --Bejnar (talk) 03:35, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep, two refs in the article from The Economist, stopped looking after seeing them. Szzuk (talk) 17:12, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
 * That counts as 1 reference. Do you have others? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandals1 (talk • contribs) 15:50, 3 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Redirect Globex is certainly well-known, the problem is that there isn't much significant coverage of it. It seems like it should be notable, but I see lots of passing mentions and mentions in articles about the CME. I would have thought this would be a keep, but I don't see the necessary coverage.Sandals1 (talk) 15:50, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - There is no other Wikipedia article that describes this system so I believe that it warrants having it's own article. There are not many good sources out there to reference so it may be a bit lite on detail. I ask everyone here to instead of marking for deletion, add to it to make the article more robust and acceptable. C62eu19 (talk) 12:57, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
