Non-notable insurance broker. Few google news results. Essentially an advertorial. Risker (talk) 16:37, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:TNT, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when it can be sourced properly. As written, this does indeed have some advertorial/PR shades to it (not blatant enough to warrant speedy, but definitely still present), and it's sourced almost entirely to primary sources, such as the websites of other organizations with which it has a direct affiliation and WP:ROUTINE paid-inclusion notices of executive staffing appointments in the business-section equivalent of the classifieds, with virtually no evidence of any real reliable source coverage about it in the journalism sections of newspapers or magazines. That's not the kind of sourcing it takes to get a company over WP:CORP regardless of how notable it may be in theory. Bearcat (talk) 16:01, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete – run of the mill wikispam by WP:SPA. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a means of promotion. Citobun (talk) 11:55, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
