| Submission declined on 15 August 2024 by Utopes (talk). This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject. Declined by Utopes 3 months ago. | |
| Submission declined on 10 August 2024 by Johannes Maximilian (talk). • What I find odd is that the subject is referred to as "K-3" on its website, however, the draft refers to it as "K3", without a dash. • A direct quote of Takada can be found twice in this draft, and it seems to be the same quote, but apparently that is not the case. I reckon there is some sort of translation error or citation error. • The "Forbes" citations refer to articles composed by "Contributors", which on Wikipedia are not deemed reliable sources (cf. WP:FORBESCON). • Footnotes 5 and 9 are the same, and I doubt that they refer to an intellectually independent source. • The draft describes the subject as "luxury home wear and lifestyle company based in Paris", but that is not true. "K3" or "K-3" are not companies. The legal entitiy behind K-3 is called "K SAS" (cf. court register), and it was founded in 2019. This draft, however, says it was 2020. • The court register excerpt says, regarding K's employees: "Tranche effectif salarié de la structure: 3 à 5 salariés, en 2021", i.e., the company had 3 to 5 employees in 2021. The text says that "Overall, 250 people helped to establish K3[4]". How did they do that? By means of social insurance fraud, i.e., moonlighting, black labour? I don't work with customs, but I'm still frowning. • The draft has a French reference placement style with references placed before full stops. On English Wikipedia, Germanic references placement is used, i.e., references are placed after full stops, cf. MOS:CITEPUNCT.

Comment: What has been written about this brand in reliable sources that are/were independent of K SAS, of the retailers of these products, of Takeda, and of each other? It's not necessary to purge from this draft (say) what Takeda said about his ideal interior, or even that he liked to dream; but this is much less important for an encyclopedia entry than what disinterested outsiders have said about K3. And a small point (which doesn't affect acceptance): We're told that The “3” in the name is written in Japanese kanji. I clicked on the link to the brand. I found that K3 is almost always written ⟨K3⟩. (In what I suppose is the logo, it's written ⟨K三⟩.) Hoary (talk) 06:20, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

K-3 is a home wear and lifestyle brand based in Paris, owned by K SAS and created by Kenzo Takada (27 February 1939 – 4 October 2020), the France-based Japanese designer.[1] The brand was launched in January 2020 at the Maison et Objet homeware trade fair in Paris with a 300-piece debut collection.
The “3” in the logo is written in Japanese kanji. Speaking to Forbes Magazine, Kenzo Takada said: “For K-3, we want to bring a mix of cultures, poetry and joie de vivre. I can imagine the new collection in my own home."
Takada teamed with Jonathan Bouchet Manheim as managing partner.[2]
K-3 features furniture, ceramics, rugs, objects, linen and textiles, and was created with manufacturing partners located in Italy, France and the U.S., including Italian textile company Sferra for bed linen.[3]
