Fails WP:NCORP. The only source given is a Bloomberg trade listing. A search returns nothing significant other than their website and trade listings. No WP:SIGCOV. Previously PROD deleted as Harrison Street Real Estate Capital. --Cabayi (talk) 09:30, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep I had not initially realized it, but there were earlier versions that very clearly showed notability, such as . An apparent representative of thecompany removed them citing compliance concerns. Some of the material they removed was uncited puffery, but most of it was plan description of the firm and and its 12 billion dollar assets under management. I do not think we have ever deleted a US investment firm of that size--I have previous suggested a dividing line at $1 billion, and more recently suggested $2 billion would be more realistic . I am not an opponent of articles on large corporations, only of promotional articles.  The compliance concerns, if real , are a matter the company would have to discuss with WMF Legal department, as provided for at
 * I am in process of restoring what I consider appropriate sourced content to the article  DGG ( talk ) 01:42, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: Fair play to for doing a repair job. Under other circumstances I'd feel sheepish and withdraw the nomination. However the "apparent representative of the company" who cited compliance concerns was also the author of the article rendering it a COI and undisclosed paid editing matter. I'm unwilling to be their cat's paw. Cabayi (talk) 11:47, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Even in cases where its a banned editor, we do not delete if a regular editor takes responsibility for it. Undeclared paid editing from the company themselves, while a serious problem, is not in the same obnoxious category as the rings of paid editors who advertise.

 * I don't volunteer my time to help a business advertise. Cabayi (talk) 20:01, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Nor do I. But I do volunteer my time to make sure we have articles on the most notable businesses. Whether to do this by modifying what was initially a promotional article is left up to each individual--nobody need do it, and if nobody chooses to do it the promotional article gets deleted. But we do not prevent someone from doing it by trying to delete the fixed article.   DGG ( talk ) 06:06, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
