The result was no consensus. This has been going for a month and a half, which really shouldn't have happened. No consensus is by definition the result. Stifle (talk) 16:48, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable fashion company. The first result for "extè" on Google is their website which is down, the second is the article page on Wikipedia. Jean (t·c) 23:48, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It's certainly not an open and shut delete. What the first or second Google search is is irrelevant to WP:ORG, the applicable notability standard. Does it have significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources, with some regional/national/international coverage? See [Google news archive], especially if you can read Italian, which I can only Google translate into semi Gibberish. There are false hits since it is also part of "exte-nsion" or "exte-rior" in hyphenated text. What do the followinge say? [1], [2], [3], [4],[5], [6]. In English, at Google Books I find [7] (not sure if this is an article or an advert). "Flash Art" had what appears from the snippet to be substantial coverage in 1997: [8]. "Travel & leisure: Volume 31" had some coverage of unknown extent as shown by the search page snippet "Among the hot names in the downstairs section, leased to fashion- forward clothing retailer Don Gil, are labels such as Hugo (by German designer Hugo Boss), O&G leans, Exte, and— of course— Helmut Lang. " Edison (talk) 00:23, 17 December 2011 (UTC).[reply]
- [9] looks like the only article from a proper newspaper, but it would appear to be more about the new CEO of the company and how she plans to "re-launch" Extè. I can't say with certainty because access to the article is limited. [10] is a local newspaper article with little coverage; it's about how the group that owned Exté was in financial trouble, and the article talks about how they were planning to recover. But if you go on their website there's no mention of Exté, and the Exté website is empty and still says "copyright 2010". [11], [12],[13] and [14] all look like small fashion blogs, some read like adverts. One blog is even called Pubblicità Italia which literally means advertisement Italy. About the results you found in Google Books: [15] would appear to be an advertisement. Perhaps a fashion expert could comment on the notability of the other publications.

- Keep - 81 News Hits in La Repubblica news archive are definitely enough to support a claim of notability.--Cavarrone (talk) 05:11, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
