Talk:Lane Powell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The firm of Lane Powell is among Seattle's oldest and largest law firms, a municipal leader, and a firm synonymous with the legal tradition of the Pacific Northwest. It stands among all of the companies that are listed as based in the greater Seattle area and the Pacific Northwest region.
The Seattle office of Lane Powell traces its roots back to 1889, when John Powell arrived in Seattle to practice law with the firm of Stratton, Lewis & Gilman.
The Portland office of Lane Powell traces its history in a direct line to 1875, the year William D. Fenton was admitted to the Oregon Bar and began practicing law.
No history of the Pacific Northwest is complete without inclusion of this landmark firm for more than 130 years. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Searchwriter (talk • contribs) 04:25, 20 Jun 2007 (UTC)
- That's all fine and good. However, you'll still need to provide verifiable secondary sources that meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for corporations. I'm sure you understand the need for policies to be applied in all cases. Also, please excuse me if I'm incorrect, but something about your tone makes me suspect you might want to review Wikipedia's policy on possible conflicts of interest. Thanks! --Iknowyourider (t c) 04:27, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

- Appreciate the due diligence, but a profile of Lane Powell, the Pacific Northwest's largest law firm brandished with the blanket assertion that it is patently self-promotion or blatant advertising overlooks the historical narrative of the entry, or consideration of the subject matter on its merits. Indeed, contemporary legal firms, such as Perkins Coie, Davis Wright Tremaine and several other leading firms referenced in Wikipedia, who are of either of lesser size, stature or age, have not been subjected to such scrutiny. Why rule out this Northwest landmark institution? Searchwriter 04:40, 20 June 2007 (UTC) comment relocated here from User talk:Iknowyourider diff

- You haven't been ruled out by any means. Create an article that provides verifiable sources (even just one!) and sounds like it was written from a neutral point of view. If the firm is as well-known as you say, I doubt you'll have any trouble finding sources. Also, if you want to reply, do so here -- this page is on my watchlist, so I'll see any reply you make.
