Connecticut Film Organization

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This was tagged for speedy deletion back in July 2009, which was declined because of an apparent claim to Oscar & Golden Globe nominations. In fact the article only claims these nominations for Connecticut, not the organisation itself. There is nothing in the article to suggest notability, most of the article is not even about the company. I can find no significant coverage of the organisation in reliable sources at all. Appears to be another marketing attempt from someone who is probably the "Social Media Manager at Media Haus Agency". See also related AFD for Tommy Swanhaus. Beloved Freak  12:34, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. As the nom indicates, the article claims Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for the state of Connecticut, not for this particular production company. (Since those awards are not actually awarded by state, I assume the article means that productions filmed in the state received those nominations, but no source is provided to indicate that these nominations were received anyway.) The sources provided do not support notability of this company. The Newenglandfilm.com, TVWeek.com, and Variety.com sources are all about film and television production in Connecticut in general and don't mention this company. The source from Thestreet.com doesn't mention this company. And the Foxreality.com source is a broken link. Hence, there are effectively no sources. Also, I found no hits for this organization's name on Google News. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:57, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete for failing WP:CORP. Possible redirect to its founder Tommy Swanhaus, if the founder's article survives its own 2nd AFD.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:13, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
