Verifiable with no original research: Everything in the article is very well-cited, and the bibliography consists of a healthy quantity of reputable sources. There does not appear to be any original research incorporated. If I had to guess... (talk) 09:37, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline

Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. Since the article's creation a year ago, it has not been involved in any editing disputes. "We could read for-EVER; reading round the wiki!" (talk) 18:37, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

(a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content
(b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions

 After checking over the article, I feel it satisfies the criteria for GA status. Congratulations! If I had to guess... (talk) 09:40, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

What I think should be changed:
The current article says La Pausa is used by Chanel for the display of works of jewelry to wealthy buyers. I suggest updating this to reflect its broader current use to reflect numerous recent press coverage about this venue, namely  as a private venue for Chanel events, product launches, and for showcasing the brand’s heritage.

Why it should be changed:
This would better reflect recent, reliable coverage showing that Chanel uses La Pausa not just for jewellery, but also as a branded venue for events and heritage storytelling. This information adds relevant and current context to the property’s modern role and function.

References supporting the possible change:
WWD – Chanel’s La Pausa Villa Renovation and Use
Fashion Magazine – Chanel Flying Cloud Showcase
Parti Pris – Chanel La Pausa Branded Environment

 Not done:  The references you provided do in fact support the current version of the text, that La Pausa is used to showcase jewellery. What the company said they planned to do is not very relevant. This request is somewhat vague; in the future, please be more specific in the text that you propose adding and/or removing. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 00:51, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'd like to request an update to a line in the article to better reflect the current use of La Pausa, based on multiple reliable sources.

What I think should be changed:
The current sentence:
"The villa was bought by the House of Chanel in 2015, and is used for the display of works of jewelry to wealthy buyers."
should be updated to:
"The villa was bought by the House of Chanel in 2015. Following a restoration by architect Peter Marino, La Pausa is now used as a creative retreat for artists and writers, and a space preserving the legacy of Coco Chanel.

Why it should be changed:
The current sentence misrepresents the villa's purpose. It suggests a commercial use focused on jewellery display, whereas reliable recent sources describe La Pausa as a cultural, creative and heritage site. Updating the sentence will provide a more accurate and encyclopaedic reflection of the property's contemporary role and significance.

"La Pausa is being positioned as a zone of experimentation and a laboratory of ideas, where artists and writers will be invited to work and reflect.”

Many thanks for considering this update. Happy to refine the proposed wording further if needed.
