Advertorialized article about a television production company, not properly referenced as the subject of any reliable source coverage to get it over WP:CORP. Of the 17 footnotes here, 12 are its own primary source content about itself, four more are the self-published web pages of other companies that this one has had direct business relationships with (one network that bought one of this company's shows and one company that was the subject of one of this company's shows), and the last is a dead link that formerly verified a purely tangential construction announcement that had nothing whatsoever to do with the notability of this company. Furthermore, the article was created by a user named "Parallaxpete", a clear conflict of interest. As always, television production companies are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their own self-published web presence metaverifies their existence -- they have to be the subject of media coverage, in sources independent of themselves, to clear the notability bar.

Delete, if I were an admin I'd happily speedy delete this as unambiguous advertising, based on the promotional wording and being almost enitely sourced to the company website. I can't find any evidence online of independent reliable news coverage about the company. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. Sionk (talk) 06:48, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
