Comment: although the list of "associated" songwriters is impressive, I'm trying to work out if any of them actually have anything to do with OC Hit Factory. From what I can tell, the company is basically a songwriting camp for budding new artists, and it uses its association with Sony Music to invite Sony songwriters to make presentations once in a while. But none of those artists mentioned in the article appear to be directly employed by OC Hit Factory. Richard3120 (talk) 15:59, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Essentially a promotional page for a business. It has had write ups in the LA Times and Orange Country Register--two solid sources--but the coverage is of the insignificant, local business promotion variety. AssociatIons with notable artists and businesses (i.e Sony) seem to be making the argument of WP:INHERIT as justification of earning a wikipedia entry.
