Non-notable company and my searches found no marginally good evidence of coverage with the best here and here. It seems the author had a habit of not adding many good references (made several articles but not many good sources with them) and I'm not seeing any new evidence of better sources. Sure the article at least has sources and is neatly written but what I can't get past is no additional coverage and there's no good move target. SwisterTwister talk 01:18, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

- Technically, should be deleted, but see comments - I can't remember what brought me to the article now - I think I came across it in Ghanaian Fashion Designers category while housekeeping List of fashion designers and I think I was trying to find SOME sort of sourcing to make it less instantly non-deletable. The major problem with articles of this type is that African press is not always readily accessible online - I've run into trouble with other African fashion designers where they clearly seem to be notable in their country and recognised, but the sourcing is simply not readily accessible online - it means that sometimes you can barely tell the difference between a notable designer and someone trying to big up a non-notable. The fact that Kofi G. Annan has managed to get his marketing/social media techniques written about in a book about the subject is quite significant; and the further reading links to a significant essay he wrote along similar lines. For an African fashion designer, that sort of online availability of information is pretty amazing. But yes, the problem is that the (very little) of what else is out there is press releases, and there is also an issue that African fashion design is really underrepresented on Wikipedia. But technically, it should be deleted - although with no prejudice against recreation once further sourcing becomes available. Trouble is, this is something that sounds like it ought to pass notability, but there are next to no acceptable AND readily accessible sources. Mabalu ( talk) 11:10, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

- Delete . A good part of the firms's work and exhibitions have been in the US, so if there are no sources for this either, there's no basis for keeping this article. (If Annan is notable, there could be an article on him) DGG ( talk ) 19:24, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

- Delete: This is a minor clothing line with a nice story. That book source mentions it briefly, but the book itself seems to be an indiscriminate collection of company stories itself. -- Slashme ( talk) 23:00, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. We're not quite to GNG. A reasonable search doesn't help us much. Might be sourcing out there, but I'm not seeing it. BusterD ( talk) 04:22, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
