Does not meet WP:ORG. My search could not find proper sources; one source in the article merely reports on the sale of the business, which WP:ORGDEPTH specifically names as trivial coverage. They do supply a notable school and sell things to Prince Charles, but notability is not inherited. There are also some COI/promotional concerns. 331dot ( talk) 19:27, 19 December 2017 (UTC) reply

The company page has proper references and all spam information has been removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fernando8039 ( talk • contribs) 19:35, 19 December 2017 (UTC) reply

• Delete. Until some established editors removed all the spam and puffery, this article was oozing and dripping with some of the most blatant adspeak I have ever seen on Wikipedia - not a copy of, but extremely similar to the tone of the language on their website that had also been written by a hired copy writer. Fails WP:ORG and WP:CORPDEPTH. Sorry, Fernando8039, nice try. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 19:47, 19 December 2017 (UTC) reply

• Comment - While nothing merits blatant adulatory promow*nk, as a British-based fashion and dress historian I'm certainly well aware of New and Lingwood, what they do, and I would have expected them to be provably notable. Unfortunately all my reference books are currently in storage, including a couple I'm pretty sure would be very helpful for this. So I am not voting keep or delete, because I believe the company is notable, but I cannot prove that, or disprove my belief, due to not having my books to hand to confirm.

@ Mabalu: This being deleted now doesn't prevent it from being recreated later if books are found that establish notability. 331dot ( talk) 21:45, 19 December 2017 (UTC) reply

• Delete, weakest ever? I did a search expecting to find dozens of sources going on about the legend and brand etc. I was really dissapointed. The coverage wasn't really in-depth and there wasn't a significant amount. L3X1 (distænt write) 21:38, 19 December 2017 (UTC) reply

• Delete per: Kudpung กุดผึ้ง, this article is a WP:PEACOCK in all its splendor. Spintendo  ᔦᔭ 00:18, 27 December 2017 (UTC) reply
• Comment Currently there seem to be unsupported details in the infobox that don't appear in the text. These should at least be sourced (if that's possible), in the text, before a final decision is taken? Martinevans123 ( talk) 13:19, 27 December 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete No indications of notabilty, just reads like spam and/or an advert. Topic fails WP:NCORP and GNG. -- HighKing ⁺⁺ 20:05, 27 December 2017 (UTC) reply
