Nominating article of my own creation. Please note that my intent is not to prove a
point; rather it is so that either I or
Spshu can be apprised finally of what does and does not constitute the
notability of the article's subject. —

Note: The article is up for deletions, since ATinySliver will not tolerate a Notability tag and falsely claims that I want it deleted.
Delete. Since, ATinySliver wants judgement now, instead of any time to find more sources. Article only has one significant source, Variety, twice once for Indie Right and again for Nelson Madison Films. Variety is primarily a media/entertainment news source while a major one is one of limited scope/interest. Most others are routine in coverage and possible unreliable (Amazon) or about the films. As such, Variety articles fail on
WP:GNG as: "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability." and
WP:AUD indicates: "Evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, national, or international source is necessary." So, a major source like AP, Reuters, ABC News or other network news, might by itself carry notability, Variety does not.

Keep. Maybe I'm biased, since I seem to recall that I'm the one who added the Variety sources, but Variety is a solid source and pretty much the gold standard when it comes to film-related articles. Some of the other sources are a bit iffy, but there's enough coverage for me to err on the side of keep. It needs further cleanup, but this can easily be done during normal editing. I think the article is possibly padded with citations to vaguely-related topics, but it's not a crime to describe the co-founder's acting talents. However, it certainly falls short of
WP:MASK or
WP:BOMBARD.

Keep I think the sources provided are enough to establish notability, although as Ninja noted some of them are iffy (many are just blogs). If we keep the article, please "do us all a favor" and "edit" the article to "remove" all the "unnecessary quotation marks" in the text. That's really "not the way to write an encyclopedia". --

Ah, the disadvantages of having been a journalist ("Quote your sources!"). Tamed per

As discussion is minimal, and assuming I'm not lacking in proper etiquette, I'd keep as nom. Article has never not been in progress. —
