non notable, with obvious coi editor. The two purported new articles are actually disguised press releases, as can be seen by reading them .. Once we become a vehicle for echoing press releases, we're useless as an encyclopedia DGG ( talk ) 03:59, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - created as pure promo ("The most distinctive detail on every Gianfranco Lotti bag: the iconic key-lock shape, dipped several times in gold, as it is a precious jewel. A symbol of bold identity, taken from one of Florence’s historic city gates.") by an editor whose name basically announced COI, Gnews has a reasonable number of links, but once looking from them, they seem to be a mixture of press releases, announcements of staff changes, and minor sites; not seeing the sort of thing that meets WP:NCORP. --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:50, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

- Keep, there is enough Italian language coverage for a claim of notability. Examples include a quite detailed article on Vanity Fair [1], plus Il Sole 24 Ore [2], La Repubblica [3], MF Milano Finanza [4] [5] [6], Italia Oggi (paywalled) [7]. Lotti is apparently also included in Who's Who in Italy [8].
The article needs some cleanup, and it could even be stubbified, butthe subject appears to be notable and there is enough reliable material to write a decent article. Cavarrone 12:06, 1 July 2016 (UTC) - Keep - Rewrite and improve. As Cavarrone has noted, there is more than sufficent coverage to show notability. With my interest in fashion history and design, I am aware of this brand and company, and would immediately recognise them as a good name in the field. Mabalu (talk) 13:37, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- Keep – Meets WP:CORPDEPTH per the sources provided above by Cavarrone. Note that the sources listed above by Cavaronne are not press releases, as evidenced in part by utilizing Google searches using the titles of these article, in which links are only present for these articles themselves, as opposed to press releases, which typically have the same article hosted on many various websites. Also, the article does not have a particularly promotional tone. The article does not extol the benefits of the company, use peacock language, or encourage readers to do business with the company.

- Keep as NorthAmerica says, this appears to meet WP:CORPDEPTH per the sources provided by Cavaronne. Vanamonde93 (talk) 11:27, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
