Delete It is not notable and is unreferenced. It only produced a few films from 1975. It became defunct in 1983. No other films were there. It does mention the founders of the company, but it never talks about them. Evil Idiot (talk) 14:01, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete, no refs and the article is just a few sentences. Szzuk (talk) 15:26, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
 * not sure what Nom means by "no other films were there", IMDb has a list. Company's defunct, so it's not PROMO.  Maybe roll it over and give someone a chance to try and source it.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:57, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * probably keeep; Defunct company with quite a few hits in books. Let us not allow our endemic presentism, or the fact that companies that died a decade or more ago don't come to the top of a quick search, to blind us to the fact that even a defunct company can be notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:02, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete completely unsourced failed company. Odds of passing the new WP:NCORP are exceptionally low, and since no sourcing has been presented, we should go ahead and delete it. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:04, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * KeepI did a little sourcing. Note also the number of incoming links, to me, incoming links indicate that editors find an article useful.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:12, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * And as expected, it appears to fail NCORP. The NYT does mention a parent company as well, American Communications Industries, which as we can see, is a red link. It appears to be extant, but not notable. If it was, it might serve as a useful redirect target. I can't see the book or the Globe and Mail source, but based on the referencing in the article, it appears quite trivial. I can see the NYT piece, and it certainly doesn't meet NCORP.
