WP:NN company failing WP:CORP. While the company has distributed highly notable products, that doesn't make the company notable. If that were the case, every corner store that sold Coca-Cola would be notable. Toddst1 (talk) 14:26, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment An international film distributor is hardly a corner store. By that reasoning, Walmart, K-Mart, and Lowe's might also not then be notable because they also sell occasionally notable products, including Coca Cola. Is not notability to be determined by possible sources, rather than WP:NOTINHERITED? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 05:50, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that they're not international - rather a UK-only distributor. Yes, WP:N relies on third party coverage of the company or awards directly to the company, not awards to the products they sell, etc.. Toddst1 (talk) 21:55, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, having read through sources in regards this company, it seems they've made a deal with CISCO and are expanding to take their product to the internet.[1] So, while still based in the UK they will now be servicing a world-wide marketplace. I can see that having only a UK branch, the company itself is not international, but simply services (or will service) internationally. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:57, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep Their role as distributor seems to have been significant. DGG ( talk ) 01:12, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The sources show significant coverage of the company, itself. Emily Jensen (talk) 03:54, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Several sources are available that provide in-depth coverage of this company, so it has at least prima facie evidence of meeting WP:GNG. Additionally, we shouldn't give too much weight to WP:NOTINHERITED in an industry that exists for the purpose of distributing others' works. --Darkwind (talk) 08:06, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per having coverage that shows notability. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:52, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
