Talk:Mimi So

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because...

While it may be difficult to separate a designer from their brand, or to not sound promotional, this person is clearly a subject worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia.

All of the information included in the article is factual with references, and not hyperbole or opinion. There are over 30 references, from long published, well known, reputable sources, supporting all aspects of the article.

Within the subject's realm - fashion and jewelry, there is clear supporting evidence of notoriety, and scholarly and public interest:
 * Designer for 5 international leading brands: Cartier, Montblanc, Piaget, De Beers and Mimi So
 * Person long referenced in Richemont, and Parsons The New School for Design articles
 * Long standing member of extremely exclusive and most reputable industry organization, CFDA
 * Recently (Oct 2012) became Board Member of that organization Council of Fashion Designers of America along with Tommy Hilfiger, Derek Lam, Diane von Furstenberg, Michael Kors, Vera Wang, Marc Jacobs and Oscar de la Renta
 * Founder of a substantial international business

Compared to contemporaries, the scholarly quality of this article significantly exceeds that of Tory Burch, Solange Azagury-Partridge, Stella McCartney, Martin_Katz_(American_jewelry_designer), Philip Press, Elsa Peretti, Plukka, Tacori and much of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion_designers.

The original version perhaps went too far, mentioning many celebrity clients and uncited magazine coverage, and that section's removal has been unopposed by me. Thank you for your interest and diligence in Wikipedia. --Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 18:40, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

It was careless to have put this well written (albeit not quite neutral), extensively referenced article in the Speedy Deletion list. I know the author, who is independent of the subject, and ask an impartial administrator to quickly review and remove this risky tag. --Cormac.kinney (talk) 21:32, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your editing. Regarding the car sponsorship and wins, it is factual and I believe interesting. What small time brand ever sponsored a big league car for the first time, only to have it win the sport's most prestigious race - twice in a row!? They make models of those cars now! Originally I included a legal photo of the subject with the actual car, clearly substantiating the fact, which DGG asked me to remove (along with what he considered superfluous details). If it photo were replaced, how would you feel about the section? Or if you can make any suggestions...--Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 22:14, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * If it's particularly interesting it shouldn't be hard to find to find some mentions of it in the sports media. I'd support adding it back if we had a source like that. - MrOllie (talk) 12:32, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Contradictory information - parked here for resolution
The statement from the article:

Mimi So International was originally founded as a partnership between the designer and luxury conglomerate Richemont, which subsequently sold its interest to Mimi So.

can't be correct, based on a reading of the cited source. The source states that Mimi So founded her business in 1993 and sold a partial stake to Richemont in 2004. Additionally, the cited source refers to the company as "Mimi So Fine Jewelery" - there is no mention of any company named Mimi So International. If there is in fact a company called "Mimi So International" that was founded as a partnership between Mimi So and Richemont, the given reference does not support that statement.

The fact is established by the name change between the references. Mimi So International (MSI) was the new company formed by Mimi So and Richemont. MSI acquired all of the assets of Mimi So Fine Jewelry including the brand name Mimi So. The later references refer to MSI and Mimi So, and no longer Mimi So Fine Jewelry. The subjects relationship with Richemont is an element supporting notability, and if you don't object, I propose to replace that information. --Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 15:46, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
