One of three articles under discussion at WP:COIN [here] for details, but sourcing is basically non-existent. Roxy the dog. bark 08:52, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails GNG. I've done an extensive search (also in languages other than English) and have access to the HighBeam archives, and have found nothing but brief mentions in lists of fashion sites in articles from the late 1990s. There is nothing in reliable sources devoted to or significantly covering this internet magazine, which ceased sometime around 2004, was "revived" back in 2012, produced two issues and has been defunct ever since. It was nominated for a Webby Award in 1999 and 2002, but was not a winner either time. I don't think that's enough to overcome the complete lack of significant or in-depth coverage. Note also that the artiicle claims the magazine "was included" in an exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt. The link in the ref is dead and cannot be recovered (It appears to have been simply an image of the exhibition announcement.) In any case, the catalog is on Google Books and there is no mention of Lumière in it [1]. This is one of a suite of articles which are all up for deletion. The other two are Stig Harder (who founded Lumière) and Fashion Net (also founded by Harder). Voceditenore (talk) 15:53, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
