Regarding Fund America article

• I have tagged the article to be wikify and for its content to be verified. However, the tags have been removed without any modifications to the article (especially with respect to facts not supported by sources). Thus, I will revert the article for tags in hope that third party / author can modify articles by citing its sources. Thank you. --Hurricane111 16:52, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
• Further to my comments, I have do a basic google search of "Fund America" and "Bob Edwards" which came up empty. Thus, it makes me suspicious of the article's content.--Hurricane111 16:55, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

• I got some relevant results with this search, though they might not be reliable. -- Kjkolb 05:54, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

• Most of this article is incredibly POV and reads almost like a blog. It was obviously written by someone involved with FundAmerica that felt slighted. "The damage to the company, its Independent Distributors and its Members by overzealous Florida officials and the sensation-hungry media was simply too great for Independent Distributors to overcome." Are you kidding?66.162.222.126 (talk) 18:14, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
• The majority of the article reads like marketing material. The mention of Jeff Bezos in the first paragraph of "The Business" serves no purpose and could cause the reader to believe that Bezos was involved with FundAmerica. The entire article needs some very serious scrubbing.71.56.47.32 (talk) 00:12, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

New company

• This article says that it is owned by a parent company, Prime Trust. And, that is not true. After FundAmerica went out of business, a completely unrelated company later opened using the same name. The unrelated FundAmerica is a very successful crowdfunding business, and that was bought by Prime Trust. Not, this FundAmerica. https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2018/07/136599-fundamerica-acquired-by-prime-trust/. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.129.13.34 (talk) 22:31, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

The article doesn't currently mention Prime Trust. "Very successful" according to what metric? Is Crowd Fund Insider a WP:RS? Per WP:CORP, if there are multiple reliable, independent sources discussing this, present them here and we can figure out how to resolve this issue. The existence of a new company by this name doesn't invalidate the existence of the old company. That a company chose to use the exact same name as a defunct pyramid scheme seems like a peculiar business decision, but that's something which reliable sources will have to explain. If this sources do not explain it, it's not notable enough to mention here. Grayfell (talk) 00:06, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
