[edit] Leigh & Orange
Unsourced self-promotion. The company seems like it should be notable, having been around so long, but Google news turns up only 7 hits, none substantial. Jfire (talk) 06:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Weak keep, from what is available this is an historic Hong Kong firm (fka Danby & Leigh, then Danby, Leigh & Orange). Sources in English are a bit weak but I suspect this is primarily a language barrier issue -- Chinese and Arabic sources could probably yield more. With a bit of digging we could at least develop a list of major buildings. Here's a UNESCO-sponsored award they won.[1] --Dhartung | Talk 08:10, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

- Keep - from sources that are provided (and are available[2]) seems to be a major architecture firm of considerable renown that has designed quite a few skyscrapers. That's more than a little notable. Needs sourcing and clean-up of course, there is only a small amount of encyclopedic content there. Wikidemo (talk) 12:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. A Google book search seems to help here. Many of these seems to be passing references in passages about their buildings, but buildings are precisely what architects become notable for. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
