[edit] Foley & Lardner
- Delete: Hard to tell from the article which is all spammy now and lacks secondary sources, but it appears to be non-notable. If the spamminess is distracting, also look at this version. —Wknight94 (talk) 17:15, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. The article represents that this is the 22nd-largest law firm in the USA and 31st-largest in the world, with annual revenues over $600 million and almost 1,000 attorneys. This firm would appear to be able to meet WP:CORP; even if the article has problems now, they can be resolved without needing to seek deletion. --Metropolitan90 18:03, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- But spamminess to the point of needing a full rewrite is now grounds for speedy deletion per WP:CSD#G11. If there wasn't so much history to the article, I would have deleted it without thinking and been within my rights. Rewinding back to the other revision I referred to would be better but that one is still just unreferenced praise. —Wknight94 (talk) 18:59, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- I have removed the content that most looked like it might be considered "spammy". --Metropolitan90 23:38, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

- Delete The firm may or may not be worthy of an article, but this article isn't worthy of being kept. Fan-1967 19:21, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep worthy of an article, this can be cleaned up. Carlossuarez46 00:51, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. A Google News Archive search shows nearly 6,700 results [1] so there are plenty of reliable sources to allow a rewrite. Capitalistroadster 04:02, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Keep major law firm. Sofixit. - crz crztalk 04:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep but clean-up. As it stands now, seems kind of stubby. 38.100.34.2 00:25, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
