Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BGC Partners
I'm even less inclined to look for sources now than I was when it was so rudely demanded of me a while ago just 5 minutes after creation, but I will repeat here, I would be amazed if a NASDAQ company with offices around the world that is sponsoring a major sports tournament like the Masters snooker, did not have the required coverage out there for an article here, certainly up to the WP:GNG standard. I will note that at no point does it look like anyone has even bothered to look for them though, which clearly violates . I had a look at the company specific WP:CORP guideline, and frankly it's gobbledygook to me. I am dismayed that it now appears that posting simple factual information is automatically considered promotion/advertising in Wikipedia, but whatever. Do what you want with it, I really don't care. I http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Masters_%28snooker%29&action=historysubmit&diff=472283689&oldid=472282049 can't even get the Masters snooker tournament page into a state where it would be easy for readers to see who the hell the title sponsor is, and as we see here - there's probably no point looking for them under their own article either! Some encyclopoedia. It's ironic that the company seems to think that they are so well known that people will just know who they are from seeing their BGC logo on television. How little they know
