International Exchange Bank

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability not established per WP:COMPANY. Raykyogrou0 ( Talk ) 11:45, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. The bank was a publicly-listed company prior to its acquisition by UnionBank, and is covered in several reliable sources (see this). --Sky Harbor (talk) 11:51, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Which sources specifically establish its notability? Raykyogrou0  ( Talk ) 12:18, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per Google Book and News. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:03, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy close. WP:COMPANY states that "Editors coming across an article on such a company without such references are encouraged to search (or request that others search) prior to nominating for deletion, given the very high likelihood that a publicly traded company is actually notable according to the primary criterion." It appears this was not met, if that has been done, they a 2nd nomination may be pursued. – H T  D  12:04, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Is it really notable though? Raykyogrou0  ( Talk ) 12:18, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * You tell me. Since Google News is busted (as seen from its absence in the "Find sources" template above), have you tried searching at Philippine news websites? – H T  D  10:17, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The only relevant link talks about its acquisition by Union Bank of the Philippines, so it should redirect there. Raykyogrou0  ( Talk ) 01:51, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
 * For some reason, if we used the same link as above, I didn't see your source. On the first page of the link supplied earlier above, I came up with two articles that clearly WP:RS: this and this, which talk nothing about the merger; in fact the second one talks about its formation. – H T  D  11:18, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, consider my nomination withdrawn then. Raykyogrou0  ( Talk ) 12:01, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Close/Keep AFD isn't used as a clean up, Also per HTD. - →Davey 2010→ →Talk to me!→  18:57, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * This isn't cleanup. Raykyogrou0  ( Talk ) 12:18, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment. The comments saying "speedy keep" or "keep" are not actual speedy keep criterion.  Raykyogrou0  ( Talk ) 06:51, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
