Mysteria Film Group

Contested prod. While a Myst will be notable if actually made (and the relevant info on that is already covered here), notability of the company at this time is not established. Majority of the references are primary sources, self-published or blogs - no major news coverage. Possible COI, as article creator's sole contributions have been to plug this company.

Keep - True, a large number of the references are primary, but there are a fair few secondary sources, some of which are fairly verifiable. Seems to me that notability has clearly been established (and this negates any COI problems - if the user in question has a COI, then appropriate action must be taken, but it's no reason to delete a notable article). _Talk Islander 21:59, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - while the third-party cites mention the "film" project, none of them actually mention the "Mysteria Film Group" - only the filmmakers and the film possibility. The references are borderline for an article on the film (and are used in the Myst (series) article), but the third-party references make no mention of the company, with the exception of Web Wire - and that is nothing more than the company's own press release.

Response - Not true: the 1up article mentions the company name in their interview. The Spokesman Review interview describes them as the "Mysteriacs", an alternate name for the company.

There are no conflicts of interest because I am not associated with MFG. I came across their web site just as other people have. I created my first Wikipedia article about them because there was no mention of their effort in the Myst franchise articles. I would love to create additional articles related to the Myst universe (e.g. Yeesha), but because it has been such a PITA to keep just one article alive I am reluctant to do anything further. So, please do not delete this article. Robert The Rebuilder (talk) 16:07, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, assuming that this is the same 'Robert the Rebuilder' that I know of from the MO:UL forums (and I'm guessing that his name is fairly unique...), I can confirm that there aren't any COIs - just a great deal of interest in all things URU :). Didn't look at the history before, hence didn't notice that it was RtR. _Talk Islander 19:21, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep - it's me, Islander :-) Taking a break from age writing and trying my hand at article writing. Robert The Rebuilder (talk) 21:07, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete - As of now, the film seems like it may or may not come to fruition, and until it comes out, it can sit comfortably in the main Myst series article. It is notable, but not notable enough yet for its own article. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 18:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. There is no compelling reason for this to spinout at the moment. Eusebeus (talk) 20:11, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as there is no compelling reason to delete this article. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 21:03, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not notable enough yet, like a musician that has never released an album. IF the film ever comes to exist, then the production company for the film may be notable.Yobmod (talk) 15:36, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Two employees and no films do not a film company make. Darrenhusted (talk) 08:19, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - lack of media coverage. PhilKnight (talk) 21:18, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Myst (series)#Film in preference to deletion. Future films not have their own articles until after shooting has begun, as per WP:NFF. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:25, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
