[edit] Trowers & Hamlins

Trowers & Hamlins (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) –

Law firm whose only claim to notability is unsourced and has been for some time. Randomshoes 13:09, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep Invoking the dreaded "Keep, I've heard of it" argument here, but (while this is an appalling article) T&H is a bona fide major player in the market with a lot of press coverage (416 hits on Google news, albeit some are press releases of theirs); tons of coverage in reliable sources including plenty using phrases such as "preeminent" and "leading". The Middle Eastern arm is also apparently the oldest law firm in Oman — iridescent (talk to me!) 13:26, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I've added a couple of references, and my google search suggests that there should be more. This and this, for example, help substantiate their claims. --Moonriddengirl 13:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep - Could use better sourcing to buttress notability claims. /Blaxthos 13:39, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Yes it's a lousy article, but the work by Moonriddengirl (thankyou!) shows it is notable and that the information is verifiable. No issues that can't be resolved via copyediting. Pedro |  Chat  13:58, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm happy to withdraw the nomination with respect to the changes on the page - well done that user! Still could do with a bit more work. In short, keep. --Randomshoes 16:06, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
