- Comment: Expansion began on November 8, 2022. Article was at 323 characters (54 words) before expansion began. Currently at 4020 characters (640 words). (DYK tool no longer shows it as a 5x expansion, although it did before.)
5x expanded by Cielquiparle (talk). Self-nominated at 23:28, 15 November 2022 (UTC).
Interesting firm, on fine sources, solid expansion + rescue from deletion! Foreign sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I like the blue- green image, but the bank building shows their style better, and has the better hook (for me). I suggest that you avoid the repetition of "firm" in the lead, and drop explaining the father there, which could go to the body, or be found simply per the link. (The father also stood for the Louvre Pyramid as Paris tourists should know.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:34, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
