Disputed PROD. Reason was "The referencing is seriously lacking. This appears to be WP:ADMASQ. with pseudo-references to generic things, directories or PR pieces. The routes for this are deletion, improvement where it stands, or return to draft space to be worked on. We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. References that do not comply with this need to be replaced."

I analysed the references in this version (or thereabouts) as follows:

http://www.cysec.gov.cy/en-GB/entities/investment-firms/cypriot/37625/ directory entry, not significant coverage. Fail
http://www.binaryoptions.com/optionrally-review/ review so independent. Is it WP:RS? I have no idea. WP:BURDEN means you need to be sure. Borderline
http://www.financemagnates.com/binary-options/analysis/optionrally-unveils-new-ladder-platform-simplifies-trading/ Press release or PR piece. primary source. Fail
http://leaprate.com/2013/11/optionrally-becomes-latest-cysec-licensed-binary-options-broker/ Press or PR, Fail
http://www.cysec.gov.cy/en-gb/public-info/announcements/ no idea. Where is OptionRally on this page? Fail
http://www.fsa.gov.uk/register/firmRegulator.do?sid=334347 directory entry. Fail
http://www.binaryoptions.com/ladder/ no mention of the org? Fail
http://www.financemagnates.com/forex/technology/spotoption-launches-mobile-trading-platform-for-binary-options/ Joint Press/PR piece with another org. Fail

One of those references has since been replaced with a reference that doesn't even mention the org. What we have here is WP:BOMBARD. Fiddle Faddle 21:18, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am in the process of responding to User:Timtrent's concerns on the OptionRally talk page. I would appreciate if more of a discussion could be cultivated around this page's deletion. I'm invested in learning how to create strong articles, but I need constructive criticism, not just calls for deletion. User:Timtrent has taken his time in clearly explaning his reasons, but I would appreciate hearing from other users.

@Don4of4: Why do you say this does not even meet nominal notability? Mayapalm (talk) 07:34, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closing admin The contributing editor has asked on the article's talk page that this discussion be extended for a further period (ie relisted)). I am placing this request here on their behalf and am doing so in a neutral manner. Fiddle Faddle 13:16, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would ask for an extended 7 days, as I believe tomorrow is the last day. Thank you. Mayapalm (talk) 14:03, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As, indeed, they have now done in person. Fiddle Faddle 22:09, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
