Created by an undisclosed paid editor (see [1]), this organization doesn't appear to be notable. There are news stories mentioning them, but it's in relation to the work they do. E.g. "Jeff Anderson and Associates" filed a brief (and that's the only mention of them). Such articles would be considered trivial coverage. One article that mentions "jeff anderson" significantly ([2]), is talking about the person, not the law firm. Also as it stands, the article is very promotional, would probably have to be reduced to a stub if kept. Sam-2727 (talk) 00:14, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non-notable law firm. Oaktree b (talk) 00:46, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Jeff Anderson (attorney), since his firm has primarily represented victims in Catholic Church sexual abuse cases; the firm doesn't seem to meet WP:ORG. Interesting that this article is nominated for deletion, and Anderson's article is tagged {{Undisclosed paid}} with no explanation on its talk page or in its history. Whitewashing by the BSA and/or the Catholic Church in the United States? Miniapolis 01:28, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Miniapolis, see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Jeffrey_Zients, the creator has some WP:UPE questions that need answers. Ravensfire (talk) 01:40, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Miniapolis, I'd say likely pay by the attorney/law firm, given the edit history of the suspect editor (user:Cactus78910). The story is that the editor has been tagged in [news stories https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/03/wikipedia-page-bidens-new-covid-czar-scrubbed-442735] for separate editing of articles, and going through their edit history, this article seemed suspect. It seems to only be isolated to Jeff Anderson and his law firm though, not the entire church. Sam-2727 (talk) 01:46, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Both noted, and thanks for the clarifications. FWIW, though, according to WP:RSP Politico is "is considered generally reliable for American politics"; it may not be slam-dunk reliable for this topic. Stay well and all the best, Miniapolis 02:04, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and merge any useful content to Jeff Anderson (attorney). Reliable sourcing used in the article only includes trivial mentions. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 05:08, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Cbl62 (talk) 05:58, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per the comments both above and below in support of merging rather than deleting. Cbl62 (talk) 04:05, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Jeff Anderson (attorney): As others have noted, the focus from sources is on Anderson the person, not as much the law firm. Anything useful should be merged there. Ravensfire (talk) 14:56, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect, per above. Jonathunder (talk) 17:16, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge merge and redirect as others suggested. Peter303x (talk) 01:31, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
