The article just gives his wife's name as Catherine. The article should also give her surname, if possible.--

Notability
The list of references and independent sources at the bottom of the article establishes the subject's notability beyond the shadow of a doubt. May I suggest that the non-notable template which was placed there by an IP be removed ASAP?! --

I've never heard of that British fellow. But, I'll leave it up to you folks.

GoodDay, it doesn't matter whether you've heard of him or not. Notability is established in articles by providing references to independent secondary and third sources.--

Alright, he can stay.

Have you read the article? It definitely establishes that Everest is a notable individual.--

I notice that nobody (except for myself a while back) bothers to question the "designer"
L'Wren Scott's notability!!!!! Jesus wept.--

I checked the references & external links, after you mentioned them.
GoodDay (
talk) 14:55, 23 March 2011 (UTC)reply
I don't understand why/how anybody could possibly question his notability. Besides, the references is the section which should be checked out before somebody slaps a non-notability template on a page.--
Jeanne Boleyn (

The Non-notability template should be removed as it was placed by an IP.

1. The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times.
2. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field.
I will now remove the tags. Should anyone disagree, please first raise the subject at the relevant notice boards.

I think the tags should be removed as they never belonged there in the first place.--

Overall, the article is highly-informative, well-written in a fluid, contemporary style; easy to follow and readable. The subject's notability is demonstrated without any peacock words or hyperbole.
It is well-illustrated, with pertinent images and matching captions. Infobox image is in the portrait style, free, and of good quality.
It is broad in its coverage and all the subsections are focused.
Lead
Clear, concise. No obvious problems there.
Career
Very well-covered, does not leave the reader wanting for more information.
Biography
Alas, there is a dearth of basic biography such as exact date of birth, names of parents and children, number of siblings (if any), and all we know about his wife is that she's named Catherine. Although this lack certainly does not bar the article achieving GA status, I think the information should be tracked down and added to the article sometime in the future.
Celebrity clients
Article gives a complete list without excessive name-dropping. It looks fine.
Quotes
There is a sufficient amount. I like the Tom Cruise quote at the end as it highlights Everest's international clientele. Again no obvious problems here.
Race driver
There needs to be more explanation provided as to why or how his ambition to be a racing driver was unfulfilled.
I'll need to do a closer scrutiny of the refs, but there is a sufficient amount of sources and appear bona-fide.--

Of his suit worn to the Oscars, Tom Cruise commented..... Who did he make the comment to? A reporter? This should be noted.--

Also working with Nutter at this time was Catherine (now an actress and film producer), whom Everest later married. Catherine who? Does she have a surname?
Donediff. I have, as yet, been unable to discover Catherine Everest's maiden name.

His long-standing association with Marks and Spencer began that year (see below). I don't think the "(see below)" is necessary, not very encyclopaedic.
Everest joined DAKS Simpson (a well-respected name in British fashion) as design consultant in May 2000 "(a well-respected name in British fashion)" needs attribution
On hold for seven days for the issues above to be addressed. I note that large parts of the article are cited to
WP:Primary sources, it would be good to find alternates especially where the statements are about other people.

OK, I think this now meets the criteria so I am happy to list it. If you develop the article further you may want to look for other sources, but primary sources are Ok for statements by the subject about himself. Congratulations!

Please let me know which statements you would like further sources for - I'll try to find them. Thanks,
