Wildes & Weinberg

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The lawyers employed by this company, particularly Michael Wildes, certainly seem notable, and there is a depth of coverage from multiple sources. As for the firm he is employed by, I have been unable to find even one reliable source which discusses "Wildes & Weinberg" (not just its lawyers). Their is trivial mention of the firm's name, and the firm does not automatically inherit the notability of those employed by it.

 * Keep. "Wildes & Weinberg" is mentioned here, here, here, and here, just to list a few sources I found after one search. More importantly though, the firm is notable because of the number of high profile cases it has dealt with, most of which are listed here. Though Michael Wildes is the most famous lawyer at the firm, he doesn't make the firm notable--the cases and clients the firm represents are what makes it notable. Obviously since Michael Wildes is the managing partner, his page lists those cases--but they are really the firms' cases. Much as Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher lists it's notable cases, Wildes & Weinberg should too. Ashershow1talk • contribs 01:45, 18 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - The above-mentioned sources only tangentially reference the firm. There is nothing that I see that discusses the firm much less indicate that the firm is notable.--Rpclod (talk) 02:06, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

As for the firm "Wildes & Weinberg", there are no reliable sources to support notability, and it should not automatically inherit the notability of those employed by it.

 * Delete - not notable and reads like a CV. This is not Martindale-Hubbell. Kierzek (talk) 19:40, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
