Animation Mentor

Animation Mentor (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

A private animation school. This is almost identical to a previous version deleted as spam and created by Mrtriviamaniacman who has been identified as a for-profit spammer. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 00:41, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

• Weak keep because of this, this and this, all of which turned up in a Google News search Not entirely convinced but I think it might pass. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!)} 00:54, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
• Strong keep. What screams out at me on this one is the affiliation with Sony Pictures Imageworks, the awards, and the alumni (those of which need articles). It needs to be cleaned up, but spammers are not always a reason to delete. This seems legit, and the otters diff's above seal it for me. I recommend cleanup and additional citations for further verification be added to the article. Passes notability with flying colors. Synergy 14:24, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

• rewrite or delete subject is fine, the article is not. Guy (Help!) 20:03, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
• Keep meets the notability guidelines. RMHED (talk) 20:51, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. I've done some cleanup (I still question the long section listing the credentials of the co-founders, but I've deleted my share of PRcruft, so I'm stopping); I too dislike how the article came about, but I think the notability (and sources) are there. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 01:30, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
