This article, created by an SPA, is about a business in the world of finance. There are eight pages of ghits, and I can't see anything I'd consider a reliable independent source. It seems to be mostly PR or mentions. The references provided are 16 to the company's own site, and four that appear to be mentions or PR based. I can see no claim to notability in the article.

Note: There was also Draft:Austen Morris Associates created earlier by another SPA which reached its G13 date, having been declined as being an advert. When deleting it, I added G11 to the G13 reason as it was pure spam. Peridon (talk) 17:20, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The article is clearly promotional in nature. It was also without a doubt written by someone affiliated with the company. -- Calidum 17:27, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: "we", "our" and vapour emission about meeting demand and strong knowledge, blah blah. If a firm wants to advertise, they can probably just afford to buy webspace; this isn't a free-hosting site. They're an IFA firm, so are many others. They do business, well so does any firm. Routine announcements and the occasional trade press profile confirm existence but do not amount to encyclopaedic notability. AllyD (talk) 21:11, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Apparently they didn't know how to write on Wiki, maybe give some time to return the entry to normal. Rebelboyl (talk) 03:26, 29 December 2014 (UTC) — Rebelboyl (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
