Filmwala Pictures

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Company can't be notable with two or three films. Nothing significant in coverage exists. Fails WP:NCORP. Störm  (talk)  13:46, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep as the films produced by this company were highly-grossing. It would be unrealistic to expect a large number of films to be made given the revival phase of Pakistani cinema.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 13:08, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * We have so many places to give credit to them, e.g. Film industry in Pakistan. As they are business ventures so they need significant independent coverage to pass WP:CORPDEPTH. Störm   (talk)  18:56, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Filmwala Pictures has made very successful box office hits in Pakistan. The existing Wikipedia article on this company already has 6 references from major newspapers of Pakistan. It's a short article and can be turned into a stub article to be improved later. Ngrewal1 (talk) 18:06, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete I have to agree with the nom, references are not intellectually independent and fail the criteria for establishing notability, failing either WP:RS (no journalist accredited), WP:ORGIND (based on company announcements and PR) and WP:CORPDEPTH (no in-depth coverage of the *company*). None of the references provided actually talk about the topic to hand - the company Filmwala Pictures. The references focus on the movies or the actors and some of the references don't even mention the company. If the movies are notable, they will no doubt have their own articles created. but notability isn't inherited and just because a product of the company may be notable does not mean that the company itseld it. To meet the criteria for establishing notability, there must be indepednent coverage of the company.  HighKing++ 17:38, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: I was a little torn about this one, but ultimately I'm going to have to agree with the nom and HighKing. The sources are mostly interviews or are clearly based on company announcements, there doesn't appear to be any substantial amount of WP:ORGIND involved here. Truely, I suspect it's just WP:TOOSOON, and that in a couple years this production company will have a lot more to base an article on. I think it would be best to file this away, possibly to be restored later when the company has more comprehensive coverage available. Waggie (talk) 00:04, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete -- a directory listing for an nn film production company. Notability is not inherited from notable films, and there's nothing better. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:04, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
