The template {{coi|date=November 2016}} appears in the article. The text transcluded by that template starts with: "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject." Although I've reviewed the article's entire history, the only two contributors who stood out were user:nsxwriter and user:BiH, the first no longer an editor, and the second blocked indefinitely. Only the second of these seemed to add much material (and his talk page acknowledges he's a paid freelance copywriter). So it's unclear who is meant by the phrase "A major contributor" – is this a problem with the template?

Anyway, there's certainly not an NPOV (neutral point of view) here, the article overall largely replicating the kind of promotional material to be found on the company website. Remarkably similar to the situation with SSX (Sydney Stock Exchange), which was APX (most recently Asia Pacific Stock Exchange, previously Australia Pacific Stock Exchange)! Of the four extant references, one is dead, and all have NSX as their source; there are no independent sources whatever.

Since this article seems to be of little interest except to the advertiser, I'm wondering if it's even notable enough to appear on Wikipedia. (And I tend to be more "inclusionist" than not …!) But it does appear to be (marginally) relevant to wp: WikiProject Finance & Investment. Should the article be nominated for deletion? yoyo (talk) 16:07, 4 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
