- Delete, garbage references. Hyperbolick ( talk) 07:51, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- I will add more references and change the article. Ark Invest does not fail
WP:NCORP. It has now nearly $30 billion in Assets under management and many mentions in the media. This article was also not intended to be promotional.--

- In general, for there to be an article about a company, it has to have received significant coverage in the press, for things other than shuffling money around, having lots of money, existing, releasing press releases, receiving paid-for awards, or the like. Even billion-dollar asset management firms are usually run-of-the-mill. FalconK ( talk) 09:09, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- This company has received significant press coverage. See references to Forbes, Bloomberg, Business Insider, CNBC etc.. More than many firms with own articles in Wikipedia. A deletion would be completely arbitrarily and indiscriminately. The founder Catherine D. Wood also has it's own article. Ark Invest has the largst largest actively managed ETF according to CNBC. Clearly WP:NCORP and not run-of-the-mill.-- Afus199620 ( talk) 10:41, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

- Comment the first three references used sound like the article should be about Cathy wood, not this company. Oaktree b ( talk) 02:32, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- The first two references just confirm that she is the founder and are intended to do just that. What is wrong with that?--

- It's an appropriate citation, but it does not help establish notability. FalconK ( talk) 21:10, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- There are enough cititations (from reliable sources, with more than frequent mentions) to prove notability. I guess you think I want to promote this company. I'm not. I'm actually living thousands of kilometre away from the NY city metro area and are in no way associated to Ark. Put it into Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron – Rescue list.-- Afus199620 ( talk) 17:56, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

- Keep Of course being worth 29.3 billion dollars will mean that places that cover business will cover them. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-11-16/takeover-battle-emerges-for-cathie-wood-s-ark-in-stellar-year https://finance.yahoo.com/video/cathie-wood-talks-ark-invests-222723696.html?guccounter=2 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-09-26/secret-sauce-behind-ark-success-is-cathie-wood-s-diverse-team All of these are reliable sources giving significant coverage about the company.

- Keep The firm is well known and has significant press coverage. I agree it needs to be cleaned up and made more neutral, but ultimately i suggest the article should remain as per wiki guidelines Tahadharamsi ( talk) 02:40, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Given the amount of media coverage ARK has received recently Colin dm ( talk) 23:51, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep The article can be added to Wikipedia. BUT we cant deny a fact that the major contributor seems to have close relations to Ark Invest as such I have added a COI tag to the article instead. The article needs to be cleaned up and made neutral. DownTownRich ( talk) 12:00, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hello DownTownRich, why do you think that the major contributor (supposedly me) to this article, has close relations to Ark Invest?-- Afus199620 ( talk) 20:32, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Strong keep, Ark invest has received a colossal amount of coverage in financial RSes. Needs rewriting, but the subject itself is notable. - Shivertimbers433 ( talk) 20:26, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep this is a very prominent investment company. -- Devokewater (talk) 21:49, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Strong Keep Clearly notable, even if the article needs a ton of work. Covered once again in Bloomberg today. — Mainly 17:31, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
