IFC Markets

Notability. On a closer look most of the sources are press releases, announcements and Certificate listings. Sources like the "review" from investing.com are not neutral (bordering blatant advertising). The article is also connected to a set of other SPA articles (GeWorko and Personal Composite Instrument), which will need a closer look later. GermanJoe (talk) 10:26, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - I'm more inclined to delete as the listed sources aren't as good as they could be and my searches found nothing better. If anyone else finds any, maybe but it's probably best to delete and draft/userfy if needed. SwisterTwister   talk  06:16, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * - I have found a couple of other sources and updated them, also removed some of them. LevonAv 12:11, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete The sources primarily link back directly to IFC itself, either on its site or as press releases. Some reference software created by the company. This is an investment company founded in the British Virgin Islands whose "principle analyst," Sergey Kamenshchikov, is also the person who created the WP articles on GeWorko and Personal Composite Instrument, which are essentially COI advertisements for the IFC products. The ones by the BVI finance department are simply lists of registered companies. LaMona (talk) 00:13, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
