The sources used are all from a UK retailer. After a WP:BEFORE search, I believe there is no indecent and reliable coverage to suggest that this company is notable. WP:GNG and WP:NCOMPANY are not met. Modussiccandi (talk) 21:54, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have since added additional sources. Please note the original sources provided are in fact from the official company website as opposed to a retailer. Goodreg3 (talk) 22:02, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing this out. The difference is minimal: both are non-independent sources because they have an interest in promoting the subject. About the additional sources: it's not the product but the company that needs to be covered. Modussiccandi (talk) 22:07, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Further sources provided focusing more on the company. Please review. Thanks. Goodreg3 (talk) 22:29, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Motley Fool and LinkedIn? These are a far cry from reliable sources. The closest thing to a solid source is the promotional piece by Men's Journal. Please review WP:Rs and WP:IS before adding more sources to the article. Modussiccandi (talk) 22:39, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Based on what I could find, their loafers are popular ("#1 loafer on Amazon" says Yahoo Sports), but sources are so spotty; either passing mentions or, since this is a store selling products, just advertising the shoe (articles with affiliate links). Nothing about the company; even the company's own "about" page says a lot without saying anything about concrete facts about its own history! ~EdGl talk 19:16, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
