Delete Zero indications of notability. A run-of-the-mill company that produces perfume and which may be associated with notable brands but note that Notability if Not Inherited. References are (for the most part) not intellectually independent and fail WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing ⁺⁺ 14:32, 1 June 2018 (UTC) reply

• Keep. Just quickly: I sympathise with the nominator – we have a truly awful article, parts of it apparently translated without attribution from the fr.wp page, and little or no evidence of notability of any kind. However, the French article has sources, and some at least are reliable and independent. Among them are:

Le Figaro, Le Parisien, La Dépêche du Midi, L'Expansion, Le Point, L'Express are (or in one case, were) reputable mainstream publications. It's very hard to see how this famous company could fail to be notable by our standards. I'll try to look at this is more detail tomorrow, specially if there's any doubt about those sources (which I haven't had time to check individually and in detail).

• Comment I just lost my editing session as I was saving the work. I had analysed all of the sources above and most are not intellectually independent, relying on company announcements or quotations/interviews with Bousquet. One source didn't mention Cacharel at all. Two other links did not work at all and two links as provided didn't work but I was able to find the articles. Two references in particular were lovely articles, very well written, telling the story of the company but were clearly not intellectually independent. With all that said, this L'Express reference, while starting off based on a company announcement, contains independent opinion from the third paragraph and meets the criteria for establishing notability. I also found two book references that meet the criteria:

• Jean-Noël Kapferer (2008). The New Strategic Brand Management: Creating and Sustaining Brand Equity Long Term. Kogan Page Publishers. pp. 165–. ISBN  978-0-7494-5085-4.
• Richard Harrison Martin (1995). Contemporary Fashion. St. James Press. p. 79. ISBN  978-1-55862-173-2.

Based on the above, I'm happy to withdraw the nomination. HighKing ⁺⁺ 16:34, 2 June 2018 (UTC) reply

• Snow keep. Yes, I feel like there’s a good chance something’s been lost in translation—state of the entry aside (tho I’ve watchlisted and will try to get to it as soon as life permits), the idea Cacharel isn’t notable is a bit to France what saying, I don’t know, GAP isn’t notable would sound like in the US. Easy keep. Innisfree987 ( talk) 00:49, 2 June 2018 (UTC) reply

• Weak keep. Sources are notable - no idea why this was added to women-related deletion discussions though. -- The Vintage Feminist ( talk) 15:31, 2 June 2018 (UTC) reply

If I’m not mistaken it was founded as a womenswear company, and then its best-known fragrances have been marketed to women. So women was just one adjacent topic—not limited to women tho! Innisfree987 ( talk) 18:55, 2 June 2018 (UTC) reply
