I think the next step here is to add some significant buildings/projects of the firm, both early and recent. The new monograph should be a good source for the recent projects. The key is to be able to find pictures of the buildings. Genbenkenob1 (talk) 15:42, 13 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

The key is to find additional independent, reliable coverage about the company, otherwise (however big and old it is) it won't meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. Because of the company's longevity I haven't nominated it for deletion. -- Sionk (talk) 12:55, 8 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
Our colleague Sionk having clearly, and unsuccessfully, striven twd a comprehensible scheme of formatting for WP-talk contribs, i have intervened by applying (just above, and in a further Sionk contrib), what i have found reliably clear in my own work. --Jerzyt 19:25, 25 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
Useful online sources in:
  • Architectural Record with the main picture and a paragraph crediting Leo A Daly
  • Rapid City Journal, crediting Leo A Daly as architects of the Armstrong Physical Education Building project at Chadron State College.

It would seem that Leo A Daly (the firm, not necessarily the perhaps retired person) has vigorously attempted to assert its in-house standard of the SHOUTING FORMATTING for the company name. IMO, two authoritative industry observers (a relevant professional organization and a trade paper in the national capital) ignore the firm's style sheet, while a major newspaper of their home region seems to have (at least) let a proofreader get away with mocking their style by (prominently if not explicitly) innovating with these headings:

MATTHEW JOHNSON leo a. daly
Title: Vice president, managing principal

It is thus that i am changing to our typical styling in our article, without troubling to hunt down anything in our MOS. --Jerzyt 19:25, 25 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
