Fish & Richardson


Questionable notability. The awards smell fishy because two of the awards are for next year: "For 2007, F&R was ranked #16 (tie) on the AveryIndex's list of the Top 25 Prestigious Firms to Work For [1], a ranking that accounts for both firm prestige and associate satisfaction. [...] For 2007, F&R was ranked #17 on the "Best 20 Law Firms to Work For" by Vault [3].". Contested prod, like some wider input. MER-C 13:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Gigantic and Speedy Keep, major firm ranked by Vault (company), who publishes all its rankings "for next year". Puh-lease! - crz crztalk 13:45, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * A very likely keep per above and about 1.4m ghits. However, I can appreciate the nominator's concerns about the article in the state it was in before the Prod. And if it is contested, process dictates in a round-about way that it appear here for wider exploration. Maybe confusing for those who work outside the law (figuratively speaking), and I probably would have done the same. The fact that another editor expressed concerns was also instrumental in the article's appearance here. Further to that, it's amazing how a Prod can improve an article (usually by the original author) to a state that is semi-respectable. Also, I don't believe the nominator entered a "vote", as stated "like some wider input". Cheers. Bubba hotep 14:28, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Historic and currently very important and large law firm. --Oakshade 16:05, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Following the links for the awards show that they correct.  Notable, historic law firm.  (Added some additional info, highlighting notability - history, notable clients.) &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 00:56, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
