None of this establishes actual independent notability and substance since it's simply a business listing as the sole sources are their own business listings, nothing better was found My hat's unsurprising for such a trivial company. Our policies are clear about company advertising and this one is no different. SwisterTwister talk 16:19, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The history of this article shows a couple of points when WP:PROD was discussed, initially rejected because of the firm's stock market listing. The sources remained insufficient for WP:CORPDEPTH though, and my searches have been finding mere routine announcements. But most significantly, there was an April 2016 announcement that Annaly Capital Management, Inc were acquiring Hatteras Financial Corp ([1] – via HighBeam (subscription required) ). This is presumably why previous primary references are now dead links. A redirect is possible, but I am not seeing evidence that this firm met the notability criteria.

Delete Surprisingly fails GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH which is unusual given it has (had) a NYSE listing. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 17:16, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
