George Hakim Jewelers

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Lebanese jeweler, signally fails WP:NCORP. Only coverage is routine store opening and 140th anniversary celebration news release. Only possible grounds for notability is longevity, but that longevity has been spent doing nothing whatsoever remarkable, impactful or in any other way notable. Fails WP:GNG.

 * Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability.  HighKing++ 12:48, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Do not delete - There are at least two sources containing independent content showing in-depth information on the company, posted in the links above. These count towards establishing notability, as they represent sources that are completely unaffiliated to the subject. Superanon78 (talk) 16:35, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Both articles are puff pieces. The first article (marking 140 years in business) is regurgitated spin with phrases like "fruit d'un atelier d'artisans minutieux au service d'une clientèle internationale" or "Aventurier, ambitieux et décidé, il n'y aura pour lui aucune frontière à sa volonté de découvrir des diamants, rubis, saphirs, émeraudes et autres." Check out other publications which contain practically the same "messaging" such as this promotional piece in "A" magazine or this Lebanese guide. The second source is regurgitated PR with phrases like ""Later in the evening, the ribbon was cut, and George Hakim was officially instated as a new, sparkling jewel in Geneva’s crown" and "The name George Hakim has become synonymous with high-end design and exquisite craftsmanship, with its qualitative, unique gems sourced from all over the world, and elegantly finished in the hands of expert craftsmen and artisans". Both sources fail to demonstrate an iota of "Independent Content" that isn't fawning regurgitated PR.  HighKing++ 09:45, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: I've tried a general search and one limited to .lb sites, most are press releases or confirmation that they're present at Dubai Fashion Week. Lack of sourcing. Oaktree b (talk) 13:35, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
