Dingo Pictures

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Like Phoenix Games, to which Dingo has worked with, there aren't any noteworthy mentions of the company in major news or animation sites, only anecdotal forum posts and snippets of their works on YouTube. Blake Gripling (talk) 14:24, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - unsourced and unsourceable: a Google search just finds images of, or articles about, dingoes. Bearian (talk) 17:31, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - Searching for "dingo pictures" animation yields results related to the animation outfit in question, but practically all of them are anecdotal mentions of the company or "YouTube Poop" videos lampooning Dingo's animated features, and there's no third-party coverage or news reports on major media outlets or animation news sites - it's so obscure that not even the Big Cartoon DataBase has an entry on Dingo.

 * Delete. Sorry  but just as did the nom, I was able to find sources... such as The Drone (magazine) describing the company in an article titled "Dingo Pictures: The Worst Animated Films Ever Made". Animation Source tells how crappy the animations are and how they consist of lots of 30-minute films obtainable only by watching in within a video game they released. Cartoon Brew tells us even more about how this company's animations are poor efforts that "liberally rips off character designs from various Disney films."  There are other such brief pannings of this company, whose only (limited) coverage is for how bad they are. Not quite bad enough to get major coverage.

 * Comment - I haven't even found any press releases from the company, either. If they did, and I mean if, score a major lawsuit from let's say Disney or any other studio they plagiarised their works on (or if they were involved in a different but related incident), or if a media critic from Kotaku chanced upon Dingo's works and made a (scathing) critique and got mainstream attention, that's the time an article about the company can be written. As of now, well, let's just say that them ripoff artists are way too obscure to deserve a page. Blake Gripling (talk) 07:27, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * We're in agreement. Ripping off others is not in and of itself notable.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 14:36, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Blake, thanks for doing more searching than is even reasonable, going beyond the call of duty. Bearian (talk) 16:47, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
