Mark abegg de boucherville

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Subject is a fashion industry entrepreneur and former CEO. Claims that his company dressed Kate Middleton and his relationship are a case of notability ain't inherited. Current sources are a LinkedIn profile and some celebrity website with a comment from someone boldly asserting his relationship status. I found his name mentioned in The Telegraph here, but it's only a passing mention. Recommending deletion per lack of notability per the general notability guideline.

 * Comment - More sources have been added. This gentleman did dress Kate Middleton for her engagement which is a significant part of British History. Please see new source added. He has been mentioned in WWD as well Mark is also pictured with her on wire image attending Carine Roitfeld's event in Paris for the Launch of her new magazine CR.
 * You've put those links in ref tags so they won't work within the AFD itself but I've extracted them and had a look. I can't see where any of them mention the subject at all, certainly not with regard to the claim that he "dressed" the Duchess of Cambridge (prior to her becoming so). That's the sort of claim that would need very solid sourcing for verification. And obviously the articles would need to at least mention him to possibly be considered significant coverage of him.

 * Delete - there's a distinct lack of significant or substantial coverage here. Lots of passing mentions, photos of him at various social events and the usual, "x and y attended z high society party". There are plenty of "socialites" that are notable enough to be covered on WP, but for Mr Abegg de Doucherville, I think this article has jumped the gun. Happy to accept this is a case of WP:TOOSOON but there's not enough, in my view, to meet WP:GNG at this stage. Stalwart 111  07:27, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete unless someone can expand this to make it clear he is notable, with referneces and a category. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:18, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
