The article is about an architectural firm that is of borderline notability: there is definitely one source that is reliable and independent (the Telegraph). But, that's about it. There is a blog piece on the Estates Gazette website but it is only incidental that the company is used to illustrate the topic at hand; it could quite happily be substituted with another company to make exactly the same point.

The other sources used in the article are reliable enough to establish the facts they are certifying, but they do not establish notability as they are not independent, secondary sources. In terms of finding other sources for the article, there's nothing on Google News, and I can't find anything that goes to satisfy WP:GNG. —Tom Morris (talk) 23:39, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. I have been tracking this one for a while & have never been able to advance further than . At various times the article has taken on a distinctly promotional POV and/or a somewhat hagiographic stance regarding the founder of the Group ... but no real depth to it at all. - Sitush (talk) 00:08, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete -- It strikes me that this is an advert for a NN firm of architects. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:37, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think it was used by Northern Rock 86.173.156.43 (talk) 17:01, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Even if you sourced this, notability is not inherited. You would need some pretty good write-ups from multiple, independent sources. - Sitush (talk) 17:25, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
