Comment: Almost all of the sources are either WP:ROTM announcements, primary sources or simply just interviews/regurgitating what primary sources are saying. From the sources included in the article, it does not demonstrate any form of real in-depth extensive coverage. Overall as of the current sources in the article, this really just seems like a WP:ROTM architectural firm.
