The World Famous Fireworkers
You need to demonstrate notability. You wouldn't expect to find an encyclopedia article on just any old 2 bit company, would you? Have they ever received non-trivial media attention? --Dweller (talk) 11:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

They're not 2-bit. Some quotes about the company: "These guys do things with fireworks that no-one else in the world does" Fergus Linehan, Director Sydney Arts Festival. "These pyrotechnicians are pushing at the boundaries of theatre" The Times (of Sticky, their collaboration with Improbable) "The most imaginative show of the year" (The Observer) (of Blast!) "an indication of the increasing sophistication of British outdoor theatre ... embracing narrative, emotion and multilayered meaning" (The Guardian) "World leaders in their field" (David Micklem, Arts Council England)

There are certainly many arts companies in Wikipedia who have less notability.
