This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Emiliano Mellino (29 April 2019). "Revolut says it's cleaning up its act. Evidence suggests otherwise". Wired. Retrieved 29 April 2019. References to these stories, as well as reports on the company's toxic work culture or investments by alleged Kremlin-linked entrepreneur Yuri Milner, have also been periodically disappearing from the company's Wikipedia page. On at least four different occasions, between December 2018 and April 2019, references to negative stories were removed from the company's page, by accounts with IP addresses that can be traced backto [sic] Revolut's offices.

Merge Nikolay Storonsky here[edit]

MERGE

In the course of looking up this company in Google, I stumbled upon its Wikipedia article and, in turn, this talk page discussion to merge. There is consensus here to merging Nikolay Storonsky into Revolut as nominator Kashmiri's assertion that Mr. Storonsky likely fails our general notability guideline for people was unchallenged. Moreover, there was concurrence (support) from two other editors, over the course of more than a year, that the nominator's policy-based rationale that notability is not inherited by virtue of having founded a company (whose notability for corporations has also not yet been established; certainly, as written, this corporation fails both WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH; in terms of potential sources, it may well fail one or both required tests). Only one participating editor opposed the merge, not on policy-based grounds, which is fine since Wikipedia notionally has no rules, but, even if we were to equally weight the arguments against the other policy-based reasons (which I did), there was consensus against allowing Mr. Storonsky to have a standalone article.

Nikolay Storonsky fails WP:NBIO in that his only claim to notability is through being the founder and CEO of Revolut, while we have WP:NOTINHERITED. Also, no sources in that article are independent of the subject as required by WP:NBIO. Any thoughts? — kashmīrī ^TALK 16:23, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, I think his role in setting up Revolut and its "disruptive nature" would make him notable.Cristiano Tomás (talk) 21:18, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can you address WP:NOTINHERITED please? Otherwise I will AfD that bio. — kashmīrī ^TALK 09:58, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge per nominator, notability is not inherited. – Teratix ₵ 08:47, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment No strong feelings either way, but I'd like to point out that WP:NOTINHERITED clearly states that it is not a policy or guideline and not an argument in itself. Notability has to be decided on grounds of wether there are sufficient sources on the person himself (as opposed to the company). Averell (talk) 20:18, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support - his article reads like a puff piece - David Gerard (talk) 06:21, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

blanket statements[edit]

There are multiple mentions in the article of this company not reimbursing fraud victims but there are numerous examples and coverage of instances where they did reimburse some or all of the lost funds. Here are two:

https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/newcastle-bar-owner-scammed-fraudsters-27515992

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/relationship-coach-scammed-over-5000-30727873

The article includes a significant amount of information about fraud claims and criticisms, which appears to be quite typical of financial institutions and large corporations in general - we must be sure there is not undue weight given to individual complaints.
