Nominator's rationale: I am nominating this article for deletion because the subject does not seem to meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for companies and organizations. The article has been tagged with multiple issues since April 2015, including notability concerns, lack of citations, cleanup requirements, and bare URLs. There has been no significant improvement over the years. Lack of Notability: The article predominantly cites primary sources or unreliable sources to establish notability. For instance:
The reference to the company's revenue points to the organization's homepage, which cannot be considered an independent reliable source. The assertion that IME Group owns the biggest Money Transfer Company and Fintech IMEPay in Nepal is referenced by the company's own website. The claim about Hem Raj Dhakal's position on the Board of Directors in South Korea references a LinkedIn profile, a self-published source. Sparse Independent Coverage: Though the company might have received some recognition in Nepal, the article does not provide substantial coverage from independent and reliable sources to establish its significance beyond routine business activities.
Promotional Tone: The article appears to be written in a promotional tone, mentioning awards and achievements without critically assessing their significance or relevance. While the article mentions Chandra Prasad Dhakal receiving an award from the Prime Minister of Nepal and mentions the establishment of the "Biggest Bank In terms of Capital GlobalIME Bank Ltd.", it does not delve into any context or significance of these achievements.
Unutilized references: There are unused references at the bottom of the article that either do not support the content or are not integrated into the article. This indicates a lack of proper sourcing and article structure.
General Cleanup Issues: The article has been flagged for cleanup and rewriting since September 2021, and it appears these issues have not been addressed.
In light of the above, I suggest that the article does not meet the notability guidelines for companies and should be considered for deletion unless reliable, third-party sources can be provided to establish its significance. Expressive101 ( talk) 05:42, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
