Denz (company)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not my field of expertise, but looks like this article created by a company role account of the same name fails to establish notability (but not quite blatantly enough for a speedy deletion). Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  23:35, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Delete spam posted by the company, no financial or employee data to establish notability, just promoting the company, its products an "honors" Jimfbleak - talk to me?  12:06, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Academy Award-, ASC Awards, iF product design awards-winning Company => notability. See also Panther (company) and Arri 93.135.115.70 (talk) 13:08, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Incubate As it now exists, the article does not belong in mainspace. It is overly promotional and not encyclopedic. Our IP editor comment above lists awards to establish notability but all were awarded to Peter Denz, not his company. Peter Denz is almost certainly notable enough for a biographical article just based on his awards. The company may also be notable. There are a lot of reviews and articles about Denz products such as here[, [http://www.fdtimes.com/2012/01/04/denz-camera-base-plate-2/ here, here and here. Those seem to be independent sources. An editor(s) interested in the technical aspects of cinematography and familiar with niche publications that may feature the company is/are needed to develop the article. I don't have a crystal ball to predict the eventual outcome, perhaps a redirect to a short section in a bio of Peter Denz or maybe a decent article about a niche company specializing in products for the film industry. The role account (now blocked) did a poor job of writing and sourcing due to her/his COI. There is a potential for an article. DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) Join WER 15:54, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The incubator was closed down some time ago. Alternatives are now WP:DRAFT or userfication. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:26, 21 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. The only relevant  source is a primary source. Good faith  attempt  to  get  a company  listed, but  otheriwse a COI from  someone who probably  failed to  understand what  Wikipedi is/is not, and fails at  WP:ORG The article is more about  the company  ownr than anything  else. As  suggests, that  person  may  be notable enough  for a BLP, but  of course it  would need substantial,  multiple, independent WP:RS. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:33, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge anything non-promotional and supported into Peter Denz, who does seem to be notable qua Oscar winner, as observed above, but seems to need secondary sources. If a non-COI editor farms it off into its own article, then review it again. AdventurousMe (talk) 16:35, 26 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep with a focus on cinematography: Technical Achievement Award to Peter Denz of Präzisions-Entwicklung Denz for developing a flicker-free Color Video-Assist Camera, 2 ASC-Awards to the company and so on... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.4.199.209 (talk) 11:46, 29 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete this would be a merge to Peter Denz but the only content not on that page I can't find in WP:RS. SPACKlick (talk) 20:22, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
