AES International[edit]

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

Highly promotional article for a small non-notable firm with routine PER-based references. Fastest growing is meaningless in terms of notability when you're as small as this. I interpret it as a clear statement of "not yet notable" The article, just as an advertisement would, lists all their routine list of services, and listing all the execs. Firms that need advertising should post in in an appropriate place. DGG ( talk ) 06:06, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The Economist piece on the firm and its founder is the most substantial but is still in terms of "fastest-growing ... in proportionate terms". Searching is not helped by a profusion of articles about AES Corporation but I am not seeing anything to suggest this is more than a financial advisor firm going about its routine niche business; not of encyclopaedic notability.

Keep: The second reference is credible in terms of the Fast Track 100 as are other online references when typing the full name of the company/searching links. I have edited out the list of services and execs listed by DGG and will attempt better referencing over the next month. Alligazy3(talk) 19:34, 05 Janaury 2014 (UTC)
Keep -- Looks to me like a major international stockbroker, possibly a re-creation of an earlier one, sold to an insurance comapny. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:25, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep - Looks fine to me - top 50 in UK and 15 offices with some intellectual capital of interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.74.234.6 (talk) 14:24, 8 January 2014 (UTC) — 91.74.234.6 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Keep: This has been edited recently to improve and remove points listed by DGG. Article specifically on the business within the Economist, mention of it by Branson and Sunday Times plus presence international presence indicate of encyclopaedic notability.XuiChen (talk) 14:00, 12 January 2014 (UTC) — XuiChen (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
