Dim Mak Films

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable company. Article reads like a possible advertisement. Google search on "Dim Mak Films" yields only 28 unique returns, none major third party sources - most are user-submitted or general directory listings. None of the films listed in company filmography appear on the IMDB, which backs up idea of non-notability. Maked for speedy delete earlier today. Recommend Delete.

As I mentioned in the talk page, this film company is responsible for one of the only existing documentations of the Prophecy festival, the topic to which I ultimately plan to build on. The Prophecy festival was a hugely important cultural event of which I'm amazed that I can find so little on either english google or english wikipedia. It is to this end that I wish to include Dim Mak Films, and hope to (if indeed there was ever a need) eliminate any advertisement flavor. This page is a work in progress, as I am still learning wikipedia tools. The lack of notation on IMDB is due to the majority of this company's productions having been produced in Israel. This is not a sign of unimportance, but rather obscurity. This is indeed a notable company, and the Prophecy Festival is a notable event. I hope to prove these things if you give me time. Thank you for your patience with me. As MikeWazowski mentioned, there is little information about either the event, the documentary, or the film company (the three topics which I endeavor to discuss) readily available on the internet. This makes research slow-going.

 * Delete. Sweetsyrinx, importance is of no matter to Wikipedia, but what does matter is if whether there is sufficient coverage of the subject on or off the internet, which, until you provide some citations, this subject does not pass. Don't worry about our tools, someone else can always format them properly, but do look at our policies: No original research, Neutral point of view, and the one most applicable to here, Verifiability. hateless 19:53, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, I have worked on the formatting, unfortunately I couldn't find any outside sources, therefore I believe it fails notability, it also contradicts itself, where, first it says that it was founded in Israel then it says "...moved to the US and founded Dim Mak Films." Anyway, delete as failing notability guidelines.--The Dominator (talk) 04:59, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
