Comment: This is written in a strangely ponderous style. Random example: In April 2026, Kathryn Gustafson stepped back from her role as Founding Partner but continues to contribute to the practice in a design consultancy role.
Does this mean something other than "Kathryn Gustafson left as a partner in April 2026, but she has remained as a design consultant"? Hoary (talk)WWU 👍︎ 00:45, 29 August 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: The Founding partners and Partners sections should be removed. Still reads as overly promotional overall. Also some minor grammar issues,so i'll run AutoEd and stuff. Robloxguest3 (talk)

- Comment: Thank you for disclosing your WP:COI. Taking a look at the draft, it cannot be moved to the mainspace as it is overly promotional. Things like
"Gustafson Porter + Bowman believes landscape architecture is an essential discipline in the creation of healthy environments for the 21st century; its innovative designs draw inspiration from the uniqueness of place"
is pure company-speak and not encyclopedic. Think of what someone coming to Wikipedia would want to know about the company, not what the company would want that person to know. Wikipedia is a base of knowledge, not a tool for company promotion. There is also a huge section for awards, the majority of which are not notable in Wikipedia. I would remove these. For projects, there is a list of locations, but does not state the company's involvement and is not sourced. Just a few issues that need addressed prior to resubmission. I would be happy to review it once you have done the cleanup. You can ping me here or leave a message on my talk page. CNMall41 (talk) 03:22, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
