This one has been around for a while (created May 2006, last edited July 2007), but given that, it is entirely unreferenced. When I do a google search I can find zero reliable sources about this production company. Based on that, I do not think the subject meets the minimum inclusion criteria as spelled out at WP:N.

 * They do appear to be a legit production company: . Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 04:18, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I have no doubts about their existance. What I have doubts about is their notability as defined by WP:GNG or WP:CORP.  We can verify the existance of millions of companies worldwide; it does not mean that reliable source material exists to support an article at Wikipedia about them.  --Jayron32. talk . say no to drama  04:22, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. The article may be valuable to the Finnish Wikipedia, but not notable in English. Gosox5555 (talk) 02:36, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and get help from experts over at WP:WikiProject Finland. Not being notable to the English-speaking world does not mean it is unsuitable for en.Wikipedia, as I am encouraged to remember that it does not matter to wikipedia that it might not written up in the New York Times or Washington Post when WP:UNKNOWNHERE suggests "Wikipedia should include all notable topics, even if the subject is not notable within the English speaking population", and WP:CSB urges a wider view and acceptance that even if something is dificult to source in English. An article on MTV3 gave it coverage in 2002 and shared that it was a subsidary of Funny Films Ltd. which itself is a subsidary of Yellow Film & TV -Group, the biggest in its field in Finland. I do not read Finnish, and had to rely on Google Translate for even that. However, I can reasonable accept that its Finnish notability is fine for us here too. Just needs some loving atention from Finnish-reading Wikipedians. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 04:05, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I have no trouble with accepting the possibility that non-English sources could verify the notability of this company. If someone could provide those sources, I would withdraw my nomination.  However, I have not seen any evidence of such sources as yet.  --Jayron32. talk . say no to drama  04:18, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
