The result was Keep, non admin closure. Article was AfD'd when it was in a vandalized state, this page has since been protected by an admin. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:54, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable bank (at least as article is written). Inexplicably something of a vnadal magnet as well. —Gaff ^ταλκ 20:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• No vote, but at the minimum it's a terrible article and would need a massive cleanup. YechielMan 23:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy keep, it's a live bank on the NYSE. That's pretty notable. If it's being vandalized, then semi-protect it. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - looking at the history, this page was originally a disambiguation page. It has evidently been vandalized. I'm going to revert back to that state, but I'll preserve the AFD information. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:53, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Oh dear This used to be a disambiguation page: [1] until User:Adrock02 managed (after several attempts were foiled by RC patrollers) to replace it with the article about the bank at the beginning of May. The bank should have an article, I think (it took very little digging for me to find sources), but that article should be Investors Bank & Trust and it certainly shouldn't be (most of) the article as written at the moment.

  • ...wait, there was no AfD information on the page. Nothing to preserve. Revert committed, have a nice day. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • There was no AfD template because it was removed earlier today: diff. CIreland 23:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Go figure. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 00:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - since this was a clear cut case of vandalism, is it safe to close the AfD? --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 03:43, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• The AfD was not vandalism. I nominated it, partly because the article is such a wreck that it seemed a hoax. Although Investors Bank & Trust does trade on NYSE, there still seems little about this company that is remarkable. I think that the best thing to do is have the bank article at Investors Bank & Trust and have IBT be a disambig page. Sorry if my nominating for AfD was incorrect. —Gaff ^ταλκ 15:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gaff, to elaborate, the AFD is not vandalism, I agree - the article that was AfD'd, however, was vandalized. The vandalism, last I checked, has since been monitored, and appears to be being dealt with for the most part. I'm suggesting that this be closed in light of that the article itself is fine. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
