Fails GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. This article - heavily edited by a disclosed COI editor - is sourced entirely to the company's SEC filings, press releases, Facebook page, and a questionably reliable source (streamingmedia.com) that doesn't actually mention the company by name. My WP:BEFORE search was as follows: Reading between the lines of the company's website, this appears to be less of a news agency and more an "investment" scheme of some type to market Off-Exchange securities. The purpose of the WP article is probably to generate a Knowledge Graph on the company to enhance an appearance of respectability. (Note: This article should not be confused with the better known United Press International.) Chetsford (talk) 22:56, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
