Gwynne Pugh Urban Studio[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Notability is not established for this recently (2010) founded firm. While the principal architect has past credentials,this firm seems to have only completed two small projects and notability is not yet established through major publications or awards. While there is any chance for the firm to become notable, as Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, for now it should be deleted. Also note that much of the text has a promotional, non-encyclopedic tone. --ELEKHH^T 22:14, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as WP:TOOSOON and failing WP:NCORP. It seems this article has arisen because Gwynne Pugh left Pugh + Scarpa to form his own practice. Gwynne Pugh Urban Studio is claiming notability based on the achievements of another company. Possibly Gwynne Pugh the man stands a better chance of having a Wikipedia entry - he's in the Design Magazine Hall of Fame and interviewed in a book, for example. The recent work of the business has had a few write ups in questionable online architecture magazines, but not enough to meet the more stringent notability requirements for companies.

I see your points. It seems as if it would make more sense to do an article for Gwynne Pugh the person instead of his new company because of the notability guidelines. Is the best approach for that moving this page and adjusting/re-writing, or starting from scratch to create that article? Also, could anyone direct me to a company wikipedia article that is ideal/written in an encyclopedic tone? and maybe a biography that's good with neutral language? just for reference. thanks.

I would suggest starting from scratch would be easier. Portal:Architecture lists all featured and good quality articles about architects. One of the most recent GAs about a contemporary architect I believe is Bjarke Ingels. Unfortunately I do not know of any good example of article about an architecture firm. --ELEKHH^T 21:46, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
