 * @No Swan So Fine - this is an interesting article! Before we get to the prose review, I'd appreciate your thoughts on the comments and questions below, as prose may shift or be added during this first part of the review. Thanks! —Ganesha811 (talk) 23:46, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much @Ganesha811 for such a thorough review - I've replied below. No Swan So Fine (talk) 14:31, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your comments and changes, and just read through the article again. Unfortunately, I think there is a fundamental issue linking the problems - notability. GA is not a notability review, and I won't be nominating this for deletion, because I think it's a marginal case. But the lack of in-depth coverage of the villa in independent, secondary sources means that this content, in my opinion, would be better off as a subsection of Lagerfeld's page, a sentence on the SBM page, and maybe a couple mentions elsewhere. As a standalone article, it feels thin and I think that explains our difficulty with the comprehensive coverage and detail. Pless should be removed, but with that gone (and even with it included), there's just very little available information on the villa between 1902 and 1986. I think it might be difficult to reach GA status without finding new sources that cover that period. Let me know what you think - I hope we can get the article to GA together, but wanted to be forthright about this obstacle. —Ganesha811 (talk) 15:31, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @No Swan So Fine, what are your thoughts on this? —Ganesha811 (talk) 19:37, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Ganesha811. I have thought deeply about your comment for the last two days. I do still think the house is notable enough for a stand alone article, but I would be pleased to see it withdrawn from the GA process. Thank you so much for your suggested improvements. I do feel there will be better archival sources in French newspapers, which unfortunately I can neither access nor interpret. Our English article is already more comprehensive than the corresponding page on French Wikipedia though. No Swan So Fine (talk) 23:37, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Alright! I'm sorry we couldn't get it there this time, but if you ever get access to better sources, feel free to renominate and ping me and I'll come take a look again! —Ganesha811 (talk) 00:20, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
