Article fails WP:NOTABILITY, WP:CORP. Repeatedly recreated under mutiple redirects, including a previous AfD resulting in delete.
- Part of a larger spam campaign See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#One_Financial_Spam
Clearly seems to be nothing more than an Advertisement masquerading as an article. Hu12 (talk) 08:17, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - I cannot easily locate reliable sources for this article; searching is complicated by a couple of other service organizations with the exact same name. I also cannot locate much information on the parent org as well. The article was originally written by an agent of the company's creative agency, which does not bode well. There is also a section which seems to imply they "introduced" the MT4 platform, which is complete nonsense - they had nothing to do with the platform, they simply seem to have branded a front end that uses it.

- Delete, per Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#One_Financial_Spam. Evidently part of a larger spam campaign. Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:20, 1 January 2010 (UTC).[reply]
- Delete Fails WP:CORP. We should not have articles on every small company, and particularly not when presented as part of a clear spam campaign. It's hard to search for the name of the company (there are many false hits), but it appears there is no independent verification of notability. Johnuniq (talk) 06:44, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and salt - fails WP:CORP. The fact that a spam campaign seems to be involved doesn't help; the fact that this same article (more or less) has not survived past AfDs doesn't help. I suggest salting this for now, as it appears as though those involved in the spam campaign are recreating these types of articles repeatedly. Cocytus [»talk«] 01:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
