Avenging Conscience

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable company. Just one of Trey Parker's many holding companies, it is non-notable given the fact that a search finds that it is not directly involved in South Park, that credit goes to South Park Digital Studios Inc., a company owned by Parker and Matt Stone and to Comedy Central. Further looking on Google and Yahoo! yielded a less then 1% result yield, most of the result that were about Avenging Conscience was data about the company itself, i.e. filings with the California Secretary of State, corporate officers and sibling companies but no actual film, television or stage credits.

 * Comment: As far as I can tell, the company was only used for the films Orgazmo and Cannibal! The Musical . I can't find where the company was involved with anything else that the two have done and from what I can see, they only used it for their earliest, non-South Park work.

 * Wait, I did find that the company was responsible for the original short films that launched the South Park franchise but they were not involved in the South Park series after that point as far as I can tell. From what I can see, the company was formed in the very early days when Parker and Stone didn't have the studio backing they do now. Once they got together with Comedy Central, the company seems to have stopped producing because there was no need for it. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   03:55, 25 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment: The fact that Avenging Conscience has six films in the can does not make it notable. Hell my brother-in-law has been working in the entertainment industry for 25 years as a producer and director and yet he and his projects (Which BTW have had worldwide distribution) never have been included in Wikipedia, you know why because there is no notability. Avenging Conscience is a throw-away company which produced six projects and then shutdown with Parker and Stone moving on to bigger and better things. If they had continued and produced more films or media under that banner then yes I would say that probably it is notable but as it stands right now it is not.

 * My biggest concern is that this should be mentioned somewhere, but I'm not sure where to merge this information to. I'm leaning towards merging the basic information to The Spirit of Christmas (short film) and commenting that the company went on to produce two films and a mini-documentary before its creators moved on to other stuff. Most of the information seems to mention it in relation to the SP shorts, so I'm thinking that it would be a reasonable merge. Tokyogirl79  (｡◕‿◕｡)   05:32, 25 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect to The_Spirit_of_Christmas_(short_film). I've merged the pertinent data into the SoC article, as the company is really only known for the SoC shorts. The other works are mentioned, but it's almost entirely in relation to South Park and the two shorts. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:11, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
