JFPI Corporation

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

I cannot find any third party, non-user generated sources that suggest that this is a notable company. The sole source is Mbendi, the information on which is user-generated. There are several mentions of the company on Google Books, these are in books which derive their content from Wikipedia articles, and on other user-generated sites such as LinkedIn, AllAfrica and Who's Who in SA.

Delete Not convinced this company really exists. If it does and is really "Africa's largest holding company" one would think there would be some better sources. The CEO seems to exist but I am not sure he is notable either. Philafrenzy (talk) 01:29, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Against deletion. I find tons of citations for JFPI. Especially in South African press. Have you even looked? The quote "Africa's largest holding company" is disputable, so dispute that rather.Andynct (talk) 08:08, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In every case, JFPI Corp has been added to articles w/out cites, then those Wiki articles are mirrored and copied by press. Even the phrasing and sentence structures are the same. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 08:53, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, see your point. See if anybody has anything to add.Andynct (talk) 11:16, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The only reference I can find in an reliable source is this in which the authors lazily use the Mbendi site as their source. This company probably exists, probably owns a mine or two in DRC and might be doing something interesting, but if so, almost nobody that we would regard as a RS seems to have noticed.

Delete. Substantial coverage from independent, reliable sources is neither offered nor to be found to demonstrate notability or even verifiability. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:14, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
