[edit] Olsha Law Firm
Appears to be insufficiently notable. Googling Olsha Kiev law finds only a dozen or so unique hits, and even Googling in Cyrillic - ОЛША - finds very few. Note the conflict of interest: see WP:COIN#User:Olaffpomona. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 21:14, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- firm keep the legal professional is a proimninent part of the world and it only makes sense the articles relating to it are allowed to prove their own notability. it seems unfair to rush off to a delete vote without even giving an obvious stub article a chance to develop. who knows??? maybe this will even become a Featured Article after all??? unlikely, possibly, bu stranger things have happened.

- Are you kidding? I'm well aware of the risk of systemic bias, but this is a firm whose web presence extends to two single-page entries on free web hosting sites and, as far as I can tell, no site in its native language. For a company in a major city like Kiev, that is seriously one-horse league. See Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies): where are the reliable independent sources that are the criteria for establishing notability?

- well obviously its not hyper-extremely noable now but with the fall of the soviet union and ew new system of laws in ukraine is is prefectly reasonable for a new and qite possibly pre-eminent lawfirm to have its own articles. at the very least it deserves the publicit.y as for its lack of a web presence [1][2][3] here. admittedly, that is a few but a large web presence is not theonly indicator of notability. i honestly recommend that that a search using Ukrainian lettering instead of cyrillic and in Ukraine itself might yield a lot more source sthan previously extant. i would like a few days to conduct one myself please before this article is rushed off to the gas chambers like so many other stub articles.

- Ukrainian lettering is Cyrillic, unless Romanized, and I tried both. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 12:46, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

- Delete Inclusion in legal directories is not evidence of notability. Is there no press coverage? What about important clients, or major cases? EdJohnston (talk) 01:41, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
