London Ethnic

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

I tried to rescue this page after seeing it had been proposed for deletion, but after throwing out loads of stuff - peacock terms (someone I've never heard of was described as "Incredibly handsome and internationally famous" and another "famous French model" had no Internet presence whatsoever) promotion, non-reliable sources affiliated with the subject, and failing to find even passing references to the supposedly verifiable articles in Vogue/Elle etc, cited on a Google search, not even a hit for title or subject - I am left to conclude that it fails notability on a number of counts. The only RS link that works and isn't affiliated to the site, the BBC interview, doesn't even mention London Ethnic. It has only been edited (apart from by me) by newly created users who have edited nothing beyond this page. A proposed deletion was removed by one of the single-purpose editors, who camouflaged the removal by adding puffery about the aforementioned handsome and famous nobody. I tried, but I do believe this is a clear delete. Mabalu (talk) 12:30, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. If the Elle and Vogue articles ever existed, they don't any more. DoctorKubla (talk) 18:04, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Reading between the lines, this is a shop with a website. So what? As far as I can tell, when the article talks about London Ethnic's designers, it means designers whose clothes they sell and nothing more; if it can be shown that these designers are actually part of London Ethnic, that would be a different matter.
