Clipper Equity is, with the purchase of Starrett City, one of the largest landlords in New York City. The recent purchase is newsworthy and is likely to be a developing story due to the concerns of low-income resident of the buildings. See The New York Times for February 9, 2007.

This isn't really a speedy candidate, The Kinslayer. It asserts notability. I recommend that you either use a prod or take it to articles for deletion if you still feel it's not notable, but the speedy tag is only when no assertion of significance is made. It is made in this article though. Borderline notability needs to be discussed, not speedily deleted. Leebo⁸⁶ 14:18, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Lpgeffen, add that article as a source in the article. Things like that greatly improve your chances of not being speedily deleted (though I've already stated my opinion with regard to that). Leebo⁸⁶ 14:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry.

We had never heard of Clipper Equity, nor had we found much proof of its existence. We still do not have enough, but we shall let this go for now. Wiki-Defender 14:48, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect that there won't be much else in the way of reference material for this entity (Clipper) because it was almost certainly created for only one purpose, which is to facilitate one real estate purchase. That's likely to be all there is to know about it: who owns it, what it owns, and when the transaction happened. The only reason it's interesting is that the scale of the deal is exceptionally large. -- Paul (User:Lpgeffen) 15:47, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
