 * Delete Article about Cinema Shares is unreferenced and not notable. It was active from 1970 to 1986. No source to prove that it had released films that received a G rating. Fails GNG and WP:NCORP. Hayleez   (talk)  15:34, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep I have found several citations in Google Books and added. There are many more, so I believe this company is notable. Lesliechin1 (talk) 09:04, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. This article has only one sentence of prose, and I'm not sure how accurate that one sentence is. "Cinema Shares International Distribution was an American company that released localized English versions of films produced outside of the United States, often sanitizing their content to receive a G rating." While IMDb does indicate that this company was a film distributor (see ), it also indicates that this company released a lot more R-rated films than G-rated films, and of the three G-rated films listed by IMDb, two of them were originally in English and thus would not have needed to be "localized". Can anyone with access to the cited sources provide quotations from them to indicate what they say about Cinema Shares releasing "localized English versions" and "often sanitizing their content"? Distributing films such as The Killer Is on the Phone and Die Sister, Die! wouldn't have made them known for marketing films toward family audiences. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:58, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. This was a real film distributor, but there's not enough verifiable information here to justify an article. However, if better sourcing and more information are located in the future, I would support the re-creation of the article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:05, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
