World Database for Islamic Banking and Finance

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable database/website. The article claims the site is "widely reported" and "plays a key role in financial markets", but I can't find sources that confirm any such notability. The only independent reference given just briefly mentions the database. I think overall it fails WP:WEB. I should mention that this article was a blatant copyvio of a couple websites (it has been deleted under CSDG12 and A7 in the past), but I stubbed it down. IP editors have continually removed maintenance templates and kept re-adding copyvio material. PDCook (talk) 05:18, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, seems to be just a repository website hosted by a university; it's not like this is an agency or an intergovernmental body. No significant coverage, and in fact pretty much no coverage of any sort, as far as I can tell. I could create User:Glenfarclas/World Database of Non-Notable Websites (hey, maybe...), but that wouldn't entitle me to also create World Database of Non-Notable Websites. I'm not seeing much of a difference here. Glenfarclas (talk) 06:15, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no indication this would meet WP:WEB or WP:GNG. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 15:49, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I restored a reference on the article that I probably deleted when removing copyvio material. The reference certainly doesn't demonstrate notability, but I thought I should make sure those of you who have already given your opinions can review the reference.

Thanks. My opinion remains the same. Glenfarclas (talk) 19:17, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow I figured that you (or anyone) would not be moved by it. PDCook (talk) 19:25, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
