• Weak keep - I removed a lot of promotional info and a self-serving award section, which took with it almost all of the references. This article has been around for 12 years - yet nobody saw any interest in adding any reliable sources. There are some - you have to Google "Dechert lawsuit" versus just Dechert. They've been hit over the years and recently with multiple lawsuits by people they fired or who otherwise had issues with the firm. I think with the size of the firm (928 attorneys and 35th largest in the US [[1]]), the notable alumni and the moderate sourcing I can Google (which isn't yet in the article), this just squeaks by.

Doesn't meet notability criteria as per

• Keep A large law firm with international presence [2][3] should be notable. Hzh (talk) 14:27, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Easy Keep - Firm is on the lists of
  largest U.S. law firms by profits-per-partner; the other firms on both lists (including those with much lower rankings) have pages with similar content and are not targeted for deletion. Msclguru (talk

the other firms on both lists ... have pages with similar content and are not targeted for deletion Per

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, the fact that we have inappropriate content in one section of WP isn't reason to include it across WP. If you can provide the names of the other two law firms on both lists I'll be happy to tag them for deletion, though. Chetsford (talk) 23:25, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply
