Halaqah Media

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete for lack of substantive coverage, much less significant coverage. Fails WP:GNG and fails WP:CORP. It does not even get close to fulfillig WP:CORPDEPTH. Their main claim to fame is as the production company for 500 Years Later, a film which won awards at several minor film festivals, no major awards. Coverage of Halaqah Media includes the usual wikipedia mirros, twitter, facebook, youtube and the like, spot advertisements, their own and related websites, like the websites of the films they have produced, sales sites like this one, and directory sites like ukscreen, ovguide and discogs. There seems to be no substantive indepedent coverage in reliable secondary sources. Other coverage just mentions Halaquah Media in passing as the producer when mentioning one of their films or audio recordings. (Examples: here,here and here.) Their films have not received much coverage. None of the hits in Google books do more than mention Halaqah Media in passing when citing one of their films. Many of the Google book hits don't even contain mention of Halaqah Media, such as Perished Nations, due to Google's automatic synonym and related terms add-ins. The article cites only their own website (three times), and the related websites of two of their films. The article was created by an IP editor in November 2005‎ apparently as a promotional piece, much of the promo has been removed, their sales site is still in "External links". Halaqah Media founded the non-profit "African Holocaust Society" as their educational research wing, and afrikanholocaust.com and africanholocaust.net are related sites that promote their films and ideology. --Bejnar (talk) 16:46, 11 October 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete, basically per nom. I can't find any significant coverage of this production company in reliable sources. Robofish (talk) 15:38, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete and BTW cheers for the detailed nomination (this is something I would even make myself at Afd)  and there's simply no obvious improvement to this currently unacceptable article.  SwisterTwister   talk  07:21, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
