An article that appears to be mostly WP:OR and WP:SYNTH about a topic that, as far as I can see, does not pass the WP:GNG to begin with. Essentially, someone noticed that several different pieces of fiction used the same generic name for a fake movie studio company. However, this is not a cohesive topic - none of the examples are actually related to one another. There are no reliable sources in the article, as the only sources included are a couple of the pieces of media themselves. Searches did not turn up anything showing that the phenomenon of the same fake name being used multiple times is a subject that has had significant coverage in reliable sources.

- Delete as WP:OR. I found some WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS for a real Mammoth Studios, but only in the context of interviewing a staffer about the film industry. The rest is unrelated, based on observations and theories by Wikipedia editors. Articles need to be based on reliable third-party sources, and not original research of noticing the same word across a few film/television scenes. Shooterwalker ( talk) 16:22, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to Abbott_and_Costello_in_Hollywood (either #Plot or #Production or even ad hoc section with sources such as this one or this one, indicating it's the MGM.) One can also think a Disambiguation page is suitable.- My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 19:19, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - I'm fine with a redirect, if there was actually any content if the target - but there's not even a mention here.

- It is mentioned now. I've added a different source, though, as the 2nd I had mentioned above was published at Lulu.com. But I've added it both in the plot and production sections. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 00:44, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Abbott_and_Costello_in_Hollywood because content is now there in a section, as user My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) indicated. - AuthorAuthor ( talk) 21:30, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Fails GNG. Mentions are not enough to demonostrate notability a fictional name used for fictional companies in a few unrelated movies. I think the article itself reflects the lack of SIGCOV, it is OR and trivia mixed in with some SYNTH. // Timothy :: talk 17:32, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
