Fails WP:CORP and WP:GNG - references are either from company itself or have trivial mentions of company. mikeman67 (talk) 19:54, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * With 9 references from various sources, including greek and international ones, including digital and print sources, I fail to see how this is even CONSIDERED to have "trivial mentions" of the studio. Could you please be more specific?

 * Comment. Hi there. Wikipedia policy, per WP:CORP, requires that a company to have "been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability." The number of sources alone do not establish significant coverage. Take a look at WP:CORPDEPTH for more examples. The only source that could in any way be considered significant is from red-dot.org. Generally industry award sites aren't considered significant or independent. If you have sources that indicate substantial coverage, such as a company profile in a national newspaper, please share them here or add them to the article. mikeman67 (talk) 15:46, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Reply. Thank you for taking the time to provide me with an answer, I do disagree though with several points. The European Design Awards is as significant as the Red Dot (if not even more). The Novum (german magazine) is being published since 1924, one of the oldest communication design magazines in the world. If this is not a "respectful" and significant source, then I don't know what is. Further more, we're having a discussion on whether a studio is significant or not, when Beetroot have won two of the most important accolades any communication design studio would kill for: European Design Agency of the year 2008 and Red Dot Agency of the year 2011... (!) With all due respect, I really don't see the point in this discussion. Danielpogur (talk) 16:39, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
