I do not believe the article meets notability policy requirements.

In addition, there is a COI (which i have added to the article) - the original article creator User:MarcosAlvoK is the owner of the Company, MARCOS ALVO. www.thecowcompany.com The user does not have a talk page. Their creation and writing was what initiated the advert tag. Given the lack of citations, stub-nature of the article, questionable notability and the COI I believe it should be deleted.

The previous request for speedy deletion (in my view rightly initiated very soon after the article was created by the owner of the company) was opposed/rejected by User:Appable on the basis that the article had claimed credible significance by including a link to a media piece on the "critical acclaim" of the shows run by the company. In the context of the COI, a conflicted inclusion of a small media item on critical acclaim in Chile does not seem to me to meet the bar for a credible claim of significance. I'm not convinced the company owner demonstrated the article as meeting the claim of significance, let alone the claim being credible. Something may be notable in small or specific circles (eg my ability to make a great linguine is notable among my friend group) but not meet the general notability requirements for appropriate inclusion on Wikipedia.

Note: I have fixed this nomination so that it actually exists fully on the nomination page, rather than {{subst:afd2}} being applied to the daily list instead. No opinion at this time. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 10:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep: Some coverage about the theater company doing stuff over Zoom [1], [2], [3] Oaktree b (talk) 12:07, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The first two are just passing mentions and not sufficient for establishing notability, imo. Mooonswimmer 04:07, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic. If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject does not qualify for a separate page, but should instead be merged into an article about a larger topic or relevant list. (See the advice below.)"

Those linked articles (while helpful!) are all about one aspect of TCC being doing zoom productions and when searched for, mostly TCC's own website/Facebook page etc. come up. A question (am a fairly new editor!) - Does that coverage meet the bar for "significant coverage"? If you consider it does, is there then not a presumption that essentially every company with some article written about them online could have its own article on Wikipedia? Would that be consistent with our mission/intent?

To me, the best yardstick is whether all the available reliable and secondary sources (not those TCC's own website/pages) would enable, consistent with WP:WHYN, a whole article to be written instead of the current few sentences and list? I'd personally struggle to write such an article. Whisky and more (talk) 12:31, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No notable films produced, any coverage is mostly passing mentions. Mooonswimmer 04:09, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No SIGCOV, and company appears to produce only one production per year, using mostly non-notable directors. Do they produce shows in a noteworthy theatre? -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:17, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not that I’ve been able to find or see by searching. Whisky and more (talk) 22:06, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm unable to locate any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:35, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete pronto. Without better references, this can't be kept. Deb (talk) 08:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
