[edit] HHCL

HHCL (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Hi -- interested to know why or in what way HHCL's notability is not established by the references quoted. As noted in the entry (with substantiation), the agency was awarded Agency of the Decade by Campaign magazine -- the ad industry publication of record in the UK. Advertising may be a niche as far as outsiders are concerned, but within that niche, HHCL is legendary -- anyone familiar with the workings of the UK ad industry taking time to read the existing references in the wikipedia entry would, i think, agree that they collectively testify to HHCL's importance AND notability within the sector (and outside it!). -- Darrellberry (talk • contribs • logs) 16:09, 11 September 2007 (UTC) Oh I see that one of the reasons for proposed deletion is 'less than 700 Google hits for Howell Henry Chaldecott Lury'. As is standard in the ad industry, references to HHCL were (and are) generally via the acronym HHCL, for which there are vastly more, as would be expected. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darrellberry (talk • contribs) 2007/09/11 16:15:20 ans also -- in the Wikipedia Notability guidelines for companies (Wikipedia:Notability_(companies_and_corporations)), the example is given that "Hewlett-Packard satisfies this criterion for, amongst other things, being covered in a feature article in the Palo Alto Weekly." Likewise, HHCL should, I think, satisfy this criteria, by its Agency of the Decade Award from Campaign magazine. -- darrellberry —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.31.226.238 (talk) 17:44, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
