 * Delete No indications of independent notability, fails GNG and WP:NCORP. -- HighKing ++ 13:40, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Give the article some time, as the bank doesn't officially launch until November 1. More references are available on the article's talk page. Also, this article has equal notability to the Tangerine Bank article. Daylen (talk) 16:19, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I hate to be that guy and despite the fact I am in favout of Keep, I need to remind you of WP:OTHERSTUFF. Me-123567-Me (talk) 21:27, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment - I'd give it some time, as PC Financial doesn't merge into Simplii Financial until November 1, and we should see some more sources by then. However, in it's current state, I don't think it would survive deletion. – Miles Edgeworth Talk 17:24, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Taking over from PC Financial. It's basically a re-brand. Me-123567-Me (talk) 21:25, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep (Note: I am the editor which turned User:Daylen's redirect into an article) - Currently subject of coverage from multiple independent and reliable sources, local and national, with depth going beyond simply the announcement of the new division (i.e. commentary from researchers and analysts on implications) meeting ORGCRIT. As Miles noted above, more coverage will likely occur following the formal transfer of PCF's banking customers to Simplii in November. RA 0808  talkcontribs 21:48, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep this article, but redirect President's Choice Financial to it post Nov 1. The latter is pure promo / sales brochure, and the article under discussion would actually be an improvement. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:14, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi I disagree with your point of turning President's Choice Financial into a redirect. The company still manages credit cards and PC Points for all stores/websites under the Loblaw Companies banners. Daylen (talk) 03:31, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree with Daylen. Me-123567-Me (talk) 03:33, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Also agree with Daylen, Simplii is only going to be the banking customers from PCF. The PCF brand will continue to be used for the credit card and insurance products offered by Loblaw subsidiaries President's Choice Bank and PC Financial Insurance Brokers (respectively).

 * Keep per Nov 1st comments above. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 04:19, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hard Keep this article - 1 Nov 17 will be a key date on which this new banking enterprise will begin functioning, affecting the entire Canadian banking landscape.Cpt ricard (talk) 21:47, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. When it earns its own article, then fine, but all this talk of "soon to redefine Canadian banking" sounds a bit WP:CRYSTAL for an article at this time. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:30, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
