Artisan Furniture

Likely to fail WP:NCORP. Sources are a combination of primary sources, WP:FORBESCON pieces and advertorials. KH-1 (talk) 01:19, 8 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen - I'm not even sure if this would qualify for being the primary topic for the name. I did a google search, and its website was buried in the results, even when I tried to specify the location and all. Most of the refs are are either self-published or from Furniture News, with the Forbes references consisting of a collage of articles and a WP:FORBESCON violation. Additionally, the article creator @Bas009 has repeatedly been accused of WP:COI editing in the past (see User talk:Bas009), and given that he didn't bold the company's name in the lead but instead hyperlinked it to it's website, I highly suspect this to be a paid article creation. - Knightsoftheswords281  (Talk-Contribs) 01:58, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello,
 * Thank you for your response, whilst I can confirm I’m not financially remunerated by this and, as said before, have an interest in the British-Indian space, I understand this fails to be notable enough and I have a better understanding of sourcing now. Thanks for providing your reasons! Bas009 (talk) 04:28, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - I would say redirect but the only references I find are reprinted or rewritten press releases. Nothing reliable about him launching this collection. His page has this referenced to the Artisan Furniture website so would recommend removing it from that page altogether.--CNMall41 (talk) 07:15, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete: An article about a firm verifiably going about its business, but supported by announcement-based advertorial coverage (e.g. the several Furniture News / Furniture Today items). Searches find listings of the firm's goods, as well as broader discussion of "artisan furniture" as a term of art. For the latter reason, I think redirecting to the LL-B article would be inappropriate, and I don't think there is enough for WP:NCORP here. AllyD (talk) 08:38, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Utterly generic dropshipper with an utterly generic name shipping utterly generic furniture.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 19:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
