Kurdistan International Bank for Investment and Development(KIBID)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This bank has very little coverage in the media. It makes a claim of being the largest private bank in Iraq. However, if one looks at the ref, it says, "According to ... the chief executive director, it is the biggest private bank in the country with about 2,000 customers." Now, I have searched the phrase "largest private bank in Iraq" and found many making this claim: Commercial Bank of Iraq, Rafidain Bank, and Al-Warka’ Bank. So this page should be deleted for lack of WP:Reliable Sources. Deprodded. Abductive (reasoning) 04:00, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - Article is promotional, uses hype (dubious claims), lacks reliable sources (WP:RS), and fails notability  at  WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Wikipedia is not  a Yellow Pages.--Kudpung (talk) 05:35, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep seems mostly straightforward description of major bank. Edit to remove the few words that are promotional language.     DGG ( talk ) 04:23, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * With only 2000 customers? I think you're wrong. Cough up some reliable sources. Abductive  (reasoning) 04:32, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * There isn't enough content there for a separate article. It does merit a mention in both List of banks in the Arab World and List of banks in Iraq, though, so I don't think the outcome should be that this title is a redlink.  A redirect seems optimal to me.— S Marshall  T/C 15:20, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
