I don't think this business meets GNG. Although we have some references, they offer limited actual coverage. Most simply provide routine coverage of a new HQ.

The article was created by an editor with a possible COI but underwent significant cleanup to remove peacocking and promotional content. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 21:16, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Add "predatory lenders" to your search and you'll come up with plenty of sources. The article needs to reflect this: it still looks like an advertisement for the most part. Jacona (talk) 10:38, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some sources. [1],[2],[3],[4],[5],(this last one is an opinion piece, but may be helpful for search clues) [6]. Jacona (talk) 10:52, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Jacona. I'll do some more looking into it later, but it looks like there might be enough for the article to stay (and be substantially rewritten). I feel I should point out that sources 1, 2, 3, and 5 are the same article, all appearing in Bloomberg publications. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 12:12, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, I think there is probably enough in some of the cited sources above to get the article satisfying WP:ORGCRIT. I think it only just skims past as it stands, so further WP:SIGCOV would be helpful. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:35, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
