London Capital Group

small investment firm. ,with £22 million, about 5% the usual size for notability in this field. The refs, as expected are mere notices.  DGG ( talk ) 08:30, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete fails GNG, only mentions. L3X1 ◊distænt write◊  12:42, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete does not meet WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH criteria, and fails to establish why it is unique among investment groups. Coverage is lacking, with most of the sources cited being press releases or announcements of the company's imminent buyout. To expand upon this last point, LCG (as of sources from March 2018) is going to be folded into another investor group; this obviously makes the ability of the company to produce new sources that could be cited on Wikipedia nearly impossible.--SamHolt6 (talk) 14:22, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination, L3X1 and SamHolt6. When the firm reaches £22 billion, few if any will question its Wikipedia eligibility, but not now and not yet.   Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:53, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails GNG and WP:NCORP as per above.  HighKing++ 21:52, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - Fell down a rabbit hole of “financial services” companies today, and (unsurprisingly)... they were less than spectacular. Some of these have been around for god knows how long, so I’m guessing they just got Grandfathered in. LCG appears far more notable than the other financial services companies I was reading about in the same region. I noticed other editors talking about holding size indicating notability. I can’t seem to find the policy to support this. From what I can find from WP:NCORP, a company that has been publicly traded is more likely than not going to have the coverage to make it notable. I went ahead and added some coverage I found to the page that I think better shows the company’s press. I feel like if this page doesn’t meet notability, then there are a ton of other financial service companies already present on Wikipedia that can go the way of the buffalo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruntknow4 (talk • contribs) 20:04, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Please post links to articles that you believe meet the criteria for notability. As far as I can see, none of the references you have added meet the criteria for establishing notability (please read WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH in particular for details)  HighKing++ 17:17, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
