Keep, tentatively. I am not sure. Cravath Swaine is in fact one of the very most prestigious law firms in the world, and their internal history sourcing is far more signficant than other sources within other organizations. For an example about sourcing in management consulting and accountings, somewhat related fields also with high-powered firms based in NYC and Chicago, I think the internal original history stories of McKinsey & Co. and about Arthur Andersen are pretty darn reliable too. Yes, the memoires of firm founders and official history books of various salient historic professional firms are obviously affiliated with the subjects, are not very independent. But Cravath's formula for success may well have been very significant and original (I don't really know for sure) and it may have been copied by many other law firms, and it may be historically important in law firm management. Is there an article on law firm management, by the way? It could perhaps be merged to such, or revised/expanded to cover the broader topic. Like there is a current AFD going on now about restaurant management, an obviously encyclopdic topic which will end in "Keep" result. --Doncram (talk) 03:31, 12 March 2019 (UTC) Revised. 04:09, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. This source used in the article, though labelled as a "blog" is pretty darn scholarly like and seems independent. I am inclined to believe that the "Cravath system" is a thing, and an important thing worth covering in our encyclopedia. Sure, the article could be improved and/or tagged for improvement in some ways, but ~~wp:AFDISNOTFORIMPROVEMENT (?) or whatever~~wp:AFDISNOTFORCLEANUP. --Doncram (talk) 03:34, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
