Global Securities Lending

PROD rejected, so here we are. Notability of this trade journal is hard to establish due to the generic title. Rd232 ^talk 18:26, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This trade journal is the only standalone magazine covering the securities lending industry worldwide. Securities lending has come into the public realm recently, with its ties to short selling and the recent financial crisis. I have provided links from companies involved with securities lending which show how relevant this journal is to the industry:

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:53, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete For the "only standalone magazine covering the securities lending industry worldwide" this trade journal doesn't get mentioned by the financial press. It started in 2008, so it is new. The citations provided above all just mention GSL's seminars, they have no significant coverage of the outfit, much less the publication. I could find no mention in news sources of this trade journal's debut into the financial publishing industry. Of course, as the nominator mentioned, its generic title makes searching difficult. Its companion publication Investor Services Journal should also be considered for deletion. The Google search "Global Securities Lending" "Mark Latham" is instructive. --Bejnar (talk) 06:18, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did note that the web site stocklendingtoday.com did reproduce a 27 Oct 2009 press release about Roy Zimmerhansl's appointment as editor-in-chief. --Bejnar (talk) 06:23, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep On the above points, the securities lending industry is rather niche and has a relatively small status compared with other areas of investment banking - hence why it may not have been greeted by much fanfare in the financial press. It is also rare for what are technically competitors to announce the creation of a rival. On the Google search point, a more instructive search would not include the owner of the magazine, but rather the editor-in-chief - try searching for "Global Securities Lending" "Roy Zimmerhansl", or even just "Global Securities Lending magazine" and you will find thousands of results - which I assume was the issue with the search described above? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.86.35.116 (talk) 13:23, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
