Lyxor Asset Management

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

(Repeatedly redirected by several editors and recreated by a WP:SPA.)

Though incorrectly described in the article as an investment company (mutual fund, closed-end fund or UIT), Lyxor sells funds, making them an investment management company. As such, it seems their notability would fall under commercial organizations (rather than products or services, as a fund would).

For publicly traded companies, we expect there to be significant coverage available, through coverage aimed at the investment market (i.e., "Based on stranger than expected first quarter results, we rate Blue Sky Corp. a strong buy..."). However, Lyxor is wholly owned by Société Générale.

Lyxor is clearly not a franchise or chain.

Thus, we are left with the primary criteria for organizations, WP:CORPDEPTH. The short form explanation is, "A company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization."

This article currently cites one source, an announcement from Société Générale discussing the launch of Lyxor. To stand alone, the article clearly needs substantial coverage in independent reliable sources showing notability independent of the parent company. As no such coverage seems to exist, I recommend a redirect to Société Générale. Sum mer PhD (talk) 15:22, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - This has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources like Financial News, Fundweb, Bloomberg News and Money Marketing.  This is after only a few seconds of searching.  There is probably a lot more coverage. --Oakshade (talk) 02:26, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment: The links mentioned above are routine announcements and so far I am finding only more of the same (Person joins, Person leaves, Fund launch, Parent reallocates fund, etc.) in searches on Highbeam. AllyD (talk) 14:54, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have interwikied to equivalent (basically the same) articles on other language Wikipedias (they were previously linked to the Société Générale page, which may be the best outcome here), though they are little better with regard to demonstration of notability. The French page does list various awards, though none look notable in their own right. AllyD (talk) 05:58, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Société_Générale. No evidence found that this subsidiary is notable in its own right, and there is already adequate coverage in the parent article at Société_Générale, although supported by a dead link reference. AllyD (talk) 06:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
