Low	This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

To whom it concerns, please consider the following:

Don Albert represents one of the few architects in South Africa who is practicing in a unique philosophy and represents a new direction for contextual design practice on the continent of Africa. His award winning Millennium Tower is a landmark in the city of Durban and is an iconic backdrop to the city (it is also the world's largest wind wane), and his Highperformancentre and the Barrows factory are reknown in South Africa, and abroad, as ground breaking typologies. These projects have been published in Japan, Italy, China, UK, South Africa and the USA.

His work is comparable in stature and importance to many architects whose work is recorded in wikipedia such as David Chipperfield, UN Studio, David Adjaye and others.

Don Albert was the second youngest architect to be featured in Phaidon World Atlas of Contemporary architecture, and two of his projects were featured in that publication putting the city of Durban onto the architectural map - an accolade in itself.

Don Albert is renown in South Africa as a most notable architect, and has been awarded a contract in India to the value of US$350m which will be made public soon.

It is for these reasons that Don Albert is in fact a notable person and should be included into the Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JustinRSA (talk • contribs) 2010-07-10

AFD was closed as no consensus as there wasn't enough consensus, some indicating borderline notable/non-notable but lot of other issues such as copyright violations, COI and advertisement, so the article would need a huge clean-up to meet standards and to avoid future AFDs. Some proposed userfication for the improvements, but I will keep it on mainspace for the moment. JForget 22:08, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

COI tag (May 2024)[edit]

JustinRSA is an obvious COI user. The entire page reads like an advertisement and serves little encyclopedic purpose. ThaesOfereode (talk) 02:58, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
