Banc de Binary

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Minor firm of no particular notability; appears on various dodgy lists, but even there seems to fail notability, since those do not constitute the requisite substantial coverage. Orange Mike | Talk 23:15, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Cites given in the article are mostly primary or to financial blogs and review/sales sites of unknown independence or dependability. Coverage from reliable sources is faint. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 00:09, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete notability is doubtful at best. Roger (talk) 17:41, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note a related article about the founder of this company, Oren Laurent, is also up for deletion. Roger (talk) 17:44, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I created this article as well as improving the article about the founder of the company. I believe the company to be notable as it is the only binary option platform that is regulated. In addition, it has won the World Finance 100 Award and was recognized as the Best Trading Platform by World Finance. There are additional references about the company on the founder's article as well (MSN.com Arabia, World Finance, and the Financial Times). Thank you for the consideration given. --WEP2013 (talk) 02:05, 16 January 2013 (UTC)— WEP2013 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
KeepThe definition of the word 'notability' is 'the state or quality of being eminent or worthy of notice'. Banc De Binary is worthy of notice because it is the first dedicated binary options trading company to be granted a license in the European Union. This industry is only three or four years old, and is the rising star of financial markets. The fact that Banc De Binary is one of the first binary options brokers to get a license in the industry makes it worthy of an article in Wikipedia. This article should not be deleted, because it is an historic event in the binary options industry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Recordwriter (talk • contribs) 09:35, 17 January 2013 (UTC) — Recordwriter (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- The Wikipedia use of "notable" is that the subject has been covered in a significant manner in content published by third party reliable sources. You examples are therefor not relevant to this discussion.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:35, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Additional References - I also listed these on the page discussion Oren Laurent, but feel that they are also applicable here. "I found additional references about Mr. Laurent. They are from the Independent,[1] the Telegraph,[2] and Investment Week.[3] It appears that the articles are all related to the same information and quote Mr. Laurent; however, they are three different stories published in 3 notable publications." Also, I cleaned up the "Regulation" section as I have to admit that I did not phrase it accurately when I created the article. They are not the 1st to be regulated, they are the 2nd. They are however the first stand alone binary option dealer to be licensed. I was able to obtain this from an article recently posted on Forex Magnates.[4] --WEP2013 (talk) 16:10, 24 January 2013 (UTC) — WEP2013 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Not "about" Laurent; rather, it's the same brief sound bite by Laurent, about undervalued British shares.
Thank you for providing the latest press release from Forex Magnates. It's...interesting. It almost seems as though they are shaping their marketing language in response to the debate here and on their WP article: "...the first standalone binary options broker to receive CySec regulation and follows provider Spot Option that was granted a license in 2012." --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 13:20, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can tell by your condescending tone that I have either done something wrong or upset you in some way. If I have, I apologize. I am only trying to establish why I believe the topic is notable. I have also found additional references that contain interviews that Mr. Laurent has given. I will also include these on the deletion discussion page of his article. Again, I apologize for offending you in any way. [5], [6], [7]. --WEP2013 (talk) 15:06, 25 January 2013 (UTC) — WEP2013 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

European CEO Cover - I have copied this over from the deletion discussion on Mr. Laurent's page. I believe that it is appliable to this article as well. "He is featured in the Spring 2013 edition of European CEO. You can see the cover here (http://www.europeanceo.com/magazine/) or you can read the entire article here (http://www.europeanceo.com/business-and-management/2013/01/the-next-generation-of-financier/). I will add this to the discussion at Banc de Binary as well. I did not want to put the citation into the article as of yet so that anyone wishing can comment first. I see that there are a lot of references in the article marked as unreliable and believe that this one could replace those altogether."--WEP2013 (talk) 16:03, 29 January 2013 (UTC) — WEP2013 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Re: European CEO cover. Yet another shameless promotional placement in an unreliable source. I encourage everyone to read the piece and decide for themselves whether it's hard-hitting journalism or heavy-handed marketing. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:01, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment how many people commenting on this discussion have a conflict of interest within the terms of the wikipedia policy, I really feel in the interests of openness that this should be declared? This company has been heavily marketed since its launch and it does seem to be happening here too.---- _nonsense ferret 02:35, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
