Bank Stern

Article which conflates the company with the man. Almost all source, which are poor, are about man, but not company. Fails WP:ORGCRITE and WP:ORG. scope_creep (talk) 17:42, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete This is the english wikipedia, not the French one. You can, however edit the article to include the French sources if you think that might help.Longevitydude (talk) 01:24, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a significant financial institution in France. Being the English encyclopedia should not mean we give special coverage to institutions in English speaking countries, short shrift to institutions in French speaking areas, or ignore French language sources. That is more what I would expect from the French-language Wikipedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:44, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep -- the article needs improvements, but one of the sources listed describes the bank's bankruptcy in 1995 as "the biggest banking bankruptcy of this end of the century". This is indicative of significance and notability. French sources are indeed permissible and are encouraged if they cover the subject directly and in detail.

Move to Draft as a compromise as it's clear here the article needs improvements for the necessary convincing, and allowed enough time. SwisterTwister talk 23:11, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
