[edit] IFX markets
AfDs for this article:
IFX markets (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)
Article fails WP:NOTABILITY, WP:NOT, WP:SPAM and WP:COI.Has a few links but they seem to be press releases and merely trivial coverage or mentions. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. which is clearly noted in the notability guidelines.Self-promotion and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopaedia article.

- Agree with nom, delete. User:Dorftrottel 11:16, January 22, 2008
- Cleanup. Article is poorly written, but Google/Google News searches indicate enough non-trivial WP:RS coverage to pass WP:CORP. As for WP:COI, the author's edit history is narrow but inconclusive per AGF. • Gene93k (talk) 12:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Maybe I'm missing something, but neither of the citations on the page seemed to link to a mention about IFX, although the linked websites were about currency trading in general. What am I not seeing? Mandsford (talk) 13:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. This is product placement and may be part of a concerted effort by people involved with forex software - see the ongoing deletion review here. Several articles promoting "eToro" software have recently been placed by SPAs, possibly sockpuppets. andy (talk) 10:37, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
