The subject fails WP:NCORP, WP:GNG due to the lack of in-depth coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The article fails WP:NOTADVERTISING. Rentier (talk) 00:36, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Although this article is not well sourced at the moment, Sheppard Mullin is most certainly a notable international law firm. It's consistently Vault 100 ranked, has played prominent roles in notable legal events, and they are large and notable enough that prominent legal industry publications cover hiring and personnel changes. This article needs serious improvement in terms of provided sources and tone, but ample secondary sources exist to establish notability. Shelbystripes (talk) 06:21, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
