Fails WP:GNG. Founded in 2016, cannot see how it can pass WP:NCORP. Edwardx (talk) 15:09, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

• Delete per nominator. Lacks substantial coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources. Yicai Global has been at the centre of a lot of undisclosed paid editing and WP:CITESPAM on Wikipedia. COI users previously added a huge number of citations to "Yicai Global" across Wikipedia using a network of sockpuppet accounts (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Snowynina) and various other IP addresses. I think the problem is still ongoing. A serious and long-term case of abusing Wikipedia for promotional purposes, contrary to our policy on what Wikipedia is not.

• Delete or merge with Shanghai Media Group. Per nomination, I agree that these COI edits shall be reverted in general. And I can't find much information supporting that Yicai itself outside of SMG can be notable. Xinbenlv (talk) 00:52, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
