- Delete as corporate spam with no indications of notability or significance. Just (likely paid) WP:ADVOCACY. K.e.coffman (talk) 17:28, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as spam, advertising, advocacy, PR - it really doesn't matter what you want to call it, but I'll call it marketing. Smallbones(smalltalk) 18:55, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep, I agree that a lot of it was promotional, but this has been cleaned up and the person responsible banned, the company is clearly notable with FX industry based on references and searches and I suggest we keep it but stub it back to remove promotional material. Sargdub (talk) 00:47, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per above The number of ref's could give the mistaken impression of significant, in depth coverage-- but not. Does not meet GNG.Dlohcierekim (talk) 06:30, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
Keep the FxPro article - I just needed it, used it, it was helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VirginiaL (talk • contribs) 15:14, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
- Welcome to Wikipedia! There's nothing there you cannot find on the corporate web page. The issue here is notability of the subject.Dlohcierekim (talk) 21:44, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and GNG. -- HighKing++ 18:00, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I have edited the article before. I found new references. I understand that some of the ones that are currently in the article should be removed. Could you see these references to see if the article can remain?

- Comment Note that there is an open job on Upwork offering cash for saving this article [1]. Rentier (talk) 11:34, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Rentier: Never seen the like. Post to WP:ANDlohcierekim (talk) 11:45, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- Posted to WP:COIN. Rentier (talk) 15:50, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep I think they may just about cross the notability threshold. Added some recent developments to the article. Some have been mentioned above and should qualify. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 13:05, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Notability is not the issue here (though I'm not seeing it). We strongly discourage COI editing; the only practical way we have of doing that is to undo COI edits. Here the COI apparently goes right back to the first version. Nuke it. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:25, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. The only in-depth coverage in a WP:RS reliable source is one Daily Telegraph article [2], and it's about FxPro deciding not to try an IPO. John Nagle (talk) 17:57, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I`m not a paid editor, I'm part of the company. And I published a project in Upwork to get advice on how to make our contribution so that the article is not deleted. I point it out clearly in the text of the project in Upwork, I´m not looking for a promotional text, I want to comply with all Wikipedia rules, that is why I have not touched the text, I have looked for new references and I have proposed them here, and I have also proposed contributing with the text. Thanks to the editor who took two references that I contributed to improve the article. If there is any way on how can proceed with the page so that it stays live - please let me know.
