Transactional funding

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The article itself has no references or third-party coverage, and after checking the link to the one external site, this appears to be blatant advertising. What's more, the author has created a number of redirects to this page (well, I changed them to redirects; they were created wrong), and this leads me to believe even more that this is an attempt at advertising. I am not a subject matter expert here, so I asked for help at the Finance project, but based on the lack of sources, one link to an advert site, and multiple pages created, I find this to be blatant advertising and am nominating under this premise. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 18:35, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - And I am deleting the blatant promotional link. John M Baker (talk) 18:53, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I saw this mentioned in the Finance project. With the promotional link gone I'm not seeing how this is advertising. This appears to be an established financing method in real estate. Figureofnine (talk) 19:04, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't disagree necessarily (again, not an expert) but all google searches for this also seem to be advertising related, and not appropriate definitions from reliable finance sources. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 19:07, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You may be right about the reliable sourcing. I am no expert either. I just garnered that this was an established industry term, even though, I agree, it seems to be mainly used in a commercial context.

 * Comment, author left me a message on my talk page, also encouraging me to visit the website. Argh. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 19:16, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. An advertisement masquerading as an article, referenced to a blog. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:22, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * "Keep" I'm an agent and know of many people considering entering the short sale business which is expedited by transactional loans. However, because it is so new, not many people know what it is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.15.183.140 (talk) 16:11, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
