Hello MicahR79. I've closed the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Sater Design Collection as "userfy", and I have moved the article to your userspace accordingly. You can find it at User:MicahR79/The Sater Design Collection. I suggest submitting it at articles for creation if you can find references that support the subject's notability. Let me know if you have any questions about the process, and I'll be happy to help you out. Best regards — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 15:30, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi MicahR79, I would say that there are a number of issues to address with the "The Sater Design Collection" article. 'Notability' is borderline, generally with articles about companies we like to see at least some evidence of general news coverage, rather than only coverage that is local or specialist. The Orlando Sentinel article, for example, only name-checks Dan Sater once.
Another big problem (that has only been addressed in a small way) is the promotional nature of the article, which still reads like an advertisement in many places. This was the main problem that was raised at the AfD discussion. Prominent phrases like "servicing builders and individuals both nationally and internationally", "showcas[ing] the company’s trend-setting designs to the local and national market", "has earned an international reputation for luxury home design", "established [in] an effort to combine custom quality designs with more affordable pre-drawn plans", "has become one of the country's most recognized residential design firms" are all highly promotional and don't meet Wikipedia's requirement for verifiability and WP:NPOV.
Thirdly, the article is about the home plan company Sater Design Collection, therefore not about Dan Sater. Dan Sater's books are not relevant to the article. The spin-off companies such as Verandah Publishing, Designs Direct Publishing etc, should be mentioned briefly and neutrally, if at all.
I'm a member of WikiProject Architecture and try to look on articles about architecture or building designer practices sympathetically. Unfortunately there are too many unresolved issues to convince me to accept this one at the moment. Sionk (talk) 15:05, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
