Maryann Thompson

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG. None of the references that I could access provided the in-depth independent coverage that we expect of a notable subject of a biography. The references provided are to projects that Thompson's firm architected. The article purports to be about Thompson, not the firm she founded. The article is laden with promotional fluff and uncited claims. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 12:21, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete No indication of notability. Billhpike (talk) 03:53, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Have edited the article to reduce the level of puffery, but what remains still fails the general notability guideline, as most of the references are passing mentions, in press release style or about the firm and not the individual. It also also fails all of the specific notability guideline for architects:
 * (a) there is no evidence that Ms Thompson is widely cited by peers or successors;
 * (b) they are not known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique,
 * (c) they are not the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series); and
 * (d) their work is not (a) a significant monument, (b) a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. -- Euryalus (talk) 06:20, 10 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete I agree with Euryalus' excellent analysis of this article. I did the same when dealing with this on copyright issues, and came to the same conclusion. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:26, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
