Kutak Rock

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Large but non-notable law firm. It has some notable people who were once part of the firm, but that does not in itself make the firm notable. Founder Robert Kutak is on the edge of notability, and if this were an article on him, rather than the firm, I don't think I'd have AFDed it; but there's actually little of him in the article; it;s mostly a law firm advertisement.

 * Keep per my long-standing standards for notable law firms. It has over 500 attorneys and at least an equal number of staff. Kutak, the founding name partner, should have his own article as he was a national leader in the ABA, and one lawyer became a justice in her state supreme court. There are plenty of sources to show notability as a business. Bearian (talk) 16:35, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: there's some substantive coverage, such as about FDIC's action against the firm: Anatomy of a Banking Scandal. There are a couple of notable alumni, etc. I removed some of the promo 'cruft. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:34, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The ABA Journal, Spokane Journal, and Knight Ridder pieces together are substantial independent coverage. --GRuban (talk) 17:44, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
