The page does not meet the criteria set forth in Wikipedia's policies on significant coverage, neutral point of view, and reliable sources for companies. The majority of the references primarily consist of announcements and press releases that include statements from the institution's own officials. These press releases are typically published on platforms that are predominantly owned or influenced by the Government of UAE, which, in turn, holds ownership of the Emirates Development Bank. Our focus on Wikipedia is not to create a biased or favorable portrayal of the UAE but rather to present an objective and unbiased perspective. Regrettably, achieving this goal is often challenging when relying solely on domestic media sources. However, I am open to retracting the nomination if the article undergoes improvements in accordance with the guidelines specified in The Heymann Standard.

  • Keep: While the article needs plenty of work and clean-up, the bank has received plenty of coverage from both Middle Eastern sources and Western sources (see, for example, Reuters). Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 00:22, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- clearly notable. --A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 06:29, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Dr. Swag Lord, Ph.d. Here's another. Although one feels vaguely silly applying WP:NCORP to a major governmental agency, I don't think there's any real question that the requirement of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject is met. -- Visviva (talk) 04:50, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
