Keep - subject meets WP:ORGDEPTH based on sources already in article, including multiple newspaper reports on performance [1] [2], plus a few weaker sources in the article. While those articles are a little heavy on stats over prose, that isn't uncommon for a financial company, and there are enough other sources to verify key details. There is definitely room for improvement, but coverage is sufficient to demonstrate notability. MarginalCost (talk) 04:59, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- EDIT: Additional sources not currently included in the article that can be used to establish notability: Journal Article, and a similar but not identical paper. MarginalCost (talk) 05:13, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would consider the above sources routine coverage - not what is required by WP:ORGDEPTH. The two academic papers are discussing IDLC (which doesn't even have an article) not IDLC Finance. (Notability is not inherited, of course.)Seraphim System ^(talk) 05:28, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - if this and the IDLC Investments Limited AdD both indicate that they should be delete (I'm neutral on that atm), then IDLC could be created with them being merged under that banner? Nosebagbear (talk) 08:45, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think IDLC is most likely notable - this article says that IDLC has changes its name and is now IDLC Finance Limited but the academic article listed above Journal Article seems to treat them as separate entities? It says IDLC is still operating and "some other leasing companies such as ... IDLC Financial Services Limited ... have emerged" - so my comments about IDLC were based on this source that was provided, but the Bloomberg reference given in the article does verify the name change - based on this additional sourcing, I will withdraw the Afd nomination and propose mergers for the subsidiaries were appropriate.
