Non-notable investment company, seems to be affiliated with SunLife, which could perhaps be a merge target. I can only find PR pieces about them. Oaktree b ( talk) 23:22, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

The Bengal GreenOak merger was ‘like two puzzle pieces coming together” (PERE)
- PERE covers the primary private equity real estate world with a circulation of 35,000. It's not dependent on ads or press releases; subscriptions cost $3000+

- I've read ROUTINE. I disagree with your assessment. These provide in-depth explanations of the company's activities.
- Why do you really want to get rid of this article?

- Do you see how the the reuters article starts with a location, date, source (e.g. LONDON, Aug 2 (Reuters))? That's how you know its PR.
Here's the announcement from Tetragon and you can see the Reuters article regurgitates it - fails ORGIND.
The Pere article though is good enough to meet NCORP criteria as it contains in-depth opinion/analysis.On another read-through, no, the author uses a technique of summarising what has been said which was made clear by the included quotes later in the article.

- Weak delete there are several concerns regarding its notability and compliance with Wikipedia's standards:
- General Notability: Wikipedia's general notability guideline states that a topic is presumed to be suitable for a standalone article if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Although the article mentions various acquisitions and investments made by BGO, and the above editors indicated some possible reliable sources it does not provide enough significant independent and secondary sources to establish its notability beyond basic facts. -- VertyBerty ( talk) 14:34, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect to Sun Life Financial. Sometimes even billion-dollar companies seem to fail the notability criteria. I'm unable to locate any substantial significant articles about the company or analyst reports that provide in-depth information. I'm surprised HighKing ++ 20:52, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
