Notability, references, and depth of coverage

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Notwithstanding the undeleting administrator's comment "not at all promotional", this article is promotional in its style. It also doesn't give evidence of the subject's notability. Assuming that there are references that demonstrate's the subject's notability (I have no reason to think one way or the other on this), a very large portion of the coverage here is simply too detailed to be considered encyclopedic (the company's position in 1987, selection of clearance styles offered by different subsidiaries, non-notable slogans, non-notable exclusive brand names of commodity diamonds, children's play areas, examples of watch brands sold, etc.). ^Bongo_matic 01:03, 17 September 2010 (UTC) sIGNET RECENTLY AQUIRED zALES CORPORATION, THUS NO LONGER A COMPETITOR — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.70.201.220 (talk) 17:17, 6 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sex discrimination/harassment proceedings

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The sex discrimination/harassment proceedings are significant to the company and deserve some sort of coverage here. If this was merely coverage of "random employee X accusing random employee Y," then exclusion would be proper. This is not such a case - the two sex discrimination/harassment proceedings (one class action arbitration + one EEOC case in federal court) received wide coverage and involve "hundreds" of employees; and involve senior executives of the company.

The broad coverage has included in-depth feature reporting and has taken place over more than 3 years. To take just one major national newspaper; see, e.g., NYT 2017 ("Sterling Jewelers Suit Casts Light on Wider Policies Hurting Women"); NYT 2017 ("Sterling Jewelers Settles Charges of Bias Against Female Workers"); NYT 2017 ("Hundreds of Workers Allege Sex Bias by Jeweler, Files Show"); NYT 2015 ("Gender Bias Case Against Sterling Jewelers Can Proceed"); NYT 2014 ("Women Charge Bias and Harassment in Suit Against Sterling Jewelers").
