The result was delete. Being the 113th-largest of a specific type of company in one country is hardly inherent evidence of notability. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:42, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable per WP:GNG or WP:CORP. A WP:BEFORE search delivered only routine press releases and passing mentions, mostly in specialist media. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:01, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Survived an AfD in early 2014, but references are still the same - to the company's website. David notMD (talk) 15:38, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
delete Wikipedia is supposed to use 3rd party sources, not sources from the organizations it covers.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:23, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not seeing enough significant, independent, reliable coverage online for this to be included. There are a few passing mentions about certain people being appointed or mergers, but nothing that is in depth. --IWI (talk) 03:24, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 113th largest law firm in the country after its merger in 2019 merger (and name change) which on its face is notable. The article needs updating but AFD is not about the quality of the writing but rather the notability of the business. Its history includes numerous notable attorneys.

- Comment Americasroof what sources are you basing your assertion of notability on? This article is not about the post 2019 merger firm, as that would have the post merger title (and proper sources). Also big != notable. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:41, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - The article should be moved and updated to the current name. Americasroof (talk) 02:53, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. It's reasonably large, but that doesn't confer notability on its own. Otherwise, a run-of-the-mill regional law firm. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 17:04, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
