  3. Neutral. I wouldn't say "plenty of room for improvement"—seemingly every instance lacking refs to GA standard has been tagged, and the fact that that hasn't turned the page into a tag-bombed mess is an indicator of how well-developed it is.

Aladdin (BlackRock)[edit]

Aladdin (BlackRock) – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 473 daily hits

  • Software program vital to the operations of financial and investment institutions including BlackRock, whose page has prominent links to it. As per the current page, this software is used to manage over $20 trillion annually, but it is a stub and information on the page is extremely out of date (it was last edited in December 2022). Considering Aladdin's vital role in the current global economy, it's important to have accessible information about it, especially since it seems that non-primary sources about the system are sparse on the Internet.

This topic is relevant to multiple categories. Due to its scope, and the sheer scale of the monetary assets it is involved with. I feel it should also receive higher importance in the WikiProjects it is listed in — currently it is a part of 4 WikiProjects, but is of Low importance for 3 and unranked in the last. Because of the above reasons, my opinion is that its importance should be increased by one tier in each WikiProject and potentially raised to High-importance in WikiProject Finance & Investment.Ooo Salt ooo (talk) 01:08, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
