POV[edit]
This article reads like a company brochure. The history section contains one fact: Formed in 1942. By who? What was the spark that started the fire? Was it daring and courage that brought this to be? Perhaps it was luck and chance that tipped the tide in direction of progress? Most of the references point to accolades and recognition of the subjects products and services and not to information of who or what brought the subject to be and what it went through to get here. I do not see the question of why the subject is notable answered within this article. Darryl.P.Pike (talk) 17:58, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
- They are one of the top five U.S. architecture firms by revenue. We have articles on 20+ of their projects. The firm has won the notable Architecture Firm Award. Looks notable to me. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:21, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Bri: Mircosoft is written from a neutral point of view and contains information and verifiable sources about its formation and evolution into what we know today, not accolades and awards for Windows by magazines and foundations. Planar Systems is written from a similar perspective and makes a good example of what I would deem a minimum an article of a company or corporation should contain in an encyclopedia. I do NOT want the information in this article removed. I DO want information added to the article, with sources that can be verified as credible, that tells me "who-what-when" put the pieces together that contributed to the opportunities to DO these things.

I removed the 'neutrality' tag. I don't see any issues with the current text. ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:55, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
Category?[edit]
Should there be a category for buildings designed by ZGF Architects? ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:28, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
Infobox[edit]
I am working on behalf of ZGF and understand Wikipedia’s COI guidelines. I am suggesting this change from 588 employees to 750 in the infobox with a new source.
