I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deleted by prod and restored through Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion#Simon_Jersey, with the WP:SPA creator's comment "Article had more than sufficient references and authoritative external links. If more detail is needed, I would rather be told what, so that I can supply these, than the page deleted. Thank you". I believe the rationale of the prod, which was copied to the author's talk page during the prod stage, was clear enough. As I discussed in my Signpost Op-Ed, this is a good example of Yellow-Pages like company spam. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:35, 24 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Not at all. You asked for authoritative links and references - I would consider articles in The Daily Mail, The Times, and The Independent, as well as Team GB, plus Wiki links from both Emirates Airlines and David Ross' pages to be exactly this. The company will be supplying the formal wear that the British athletes wear at the 2016 Rio Olympics, an event expected to be seen by almost a billion people worldwide, and as Wikipedia's purpose is to supply the public with an authoritative source of information on a vast array of subjects, I cannot see what issue there would be with this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcanders88 (talk • contribs) 23:26, September 24, 2015‎ (UTC)
 * The Times and The Independent are certainly quality sources. TT, unfortunately, is not free, and the preview of the article seem to focus on the company, but someone named David Ross, who bought it. The Independent article is about the company's BUILDING - it's an architectural essay/blog. That lends very little to the argument that the company is notable. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:17, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete for now unless someone wants it drafted and userfied as I found a few links here and there but not much for a better article. SwisterTwister   talk  06:05, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - searches do not turn up enough to meet notability criteria. Fails WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. As SwisterTwister, userfy if someone is interested.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:30, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
