Reed Business Information

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Topic fails WP:CORP in that reliable, secondary sources contain only trivial and/or incidental coverage of this organization. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 01:22, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Update: I trust that the closing administrator will assign appropriate weight to comments that actually address the criteria for Notability vs. those that do not. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 06:33, 25 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. This is clearly a notable company. Article should be improved with more citations, not deleted. A P Monblat (talk) 14:28, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

 * While hardly a slam dunk, I think I see enough coverage such as this, from what seems to be to be a reliable industry newsblog, to pass GNG. But it's not an overwhelming case, from what I see from Gnews. Keep. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:49, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Tentative keep -- see sample coverage: discussing M&A activities; "Reed Business Information faces scrutiny over sanctions", FT.com. The latter article includes the following:
 * Reed Business Information faces scrutiny over sanctions. MAY 1, 2014 by: Cynthia O’Murchu and Melissa Hancock. UK authorities have been probing past transactions between a division of Anglo-Dutch publisher Reed Elsevier and Iranian banks, to consider whether sanctions may have been breached. (...) RBI and US-based Accuity – which its parent Reed Elsevier acquired at the end of 2011 – operate together as Accuity and sell databases such as Bankers Almanac. That database allows clients to find and validate bank payment routing data and share their own payment information."
