Talk:Citizens First Bank

Deletion comment

I disagree, this bank is notable, at least to the community it serves, for several reasons.

1. First of all, Citizens First Bank has over 50% of the market share in the area that is serves. This is extremely unusual, especially for a bank that is the size of this one (not overly big). https://www5.fdic.gov/sod/sodMarketRpt.asp?barItem=2 2. There are a large number of locations in a small geographical area. 9 of their 11 locations are in one zip code. 3. Almost 3/4 of residents in the Villages have a relationship with Citizens First Bank. Out of the 122,460 residents of The Villages, roughly 90,000 bank with this institution. 4. It is extremely visible in the Villages/Central Florida community. There is often media coverage by outlets such as The Daily Commercial, The Villages Daily Sun, The Villages News, and The Orlando Sentinel. 5. It is the 11th largest bank in that state of Florida and the only bank headquartered in Sumter County. It is also the only community bank in the tri-county area since the acquisition of Community Bank and Trust by MidFlorida Credit Union. 6. This bank operates and caters to an extremely unusual clientele: the largest retirement community in the world. While I don't have access to data on customer demographics, this bank serves a clientele primarily 65 and up. 7. This bank is located in the FASTEST growing city in the United States. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/economy/2018/05/26/fastest-growing-and-shri nking-us-cities/34813515/

Also, if your logic holds true, that would warrant the deletion of numerous other community bank pages such as:

@Iamorangelightning: You are welcome to make that case on the deletion discussion page. Please note that WP:NCORP is the standard that is required for articles about organizations, and that saying other articles exist is not a strong argument. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 15:03, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
