The result was delete. The two "keep" opinions are cursory and not well argued in terms of applicable policy.  Sandstein  17:56, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Illustrated Orchids

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A comic book publishing group that does not appear to have become notable. There is only one source being used in the article currently (the current link is dead, but the article in question can be found here, and reads suspiciously like a press release). Aside from that one article, the only other mention I could find was in a Bleeding Cool article, here, which only consists of two sentences of coverage. The articles on their four published works appear to have all been previously deleted for notability concerns, and I was unable to find any significant coverage on either the company or their published works that would allow it to pass the WP:GNG.

 * Keep. I added some references. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:52, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - Two of those sources are actually the same article, that was just posted twice on the same site, and the Bleeding Cool article is the one I mentioned in my nomination as only having a very brief, two sentence mention of the company. It seems like the only place that has more than a brief mention of the company are all from the same site (AnimationXpress), and per the WP:GNG, "multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability".  Thus, I still don't see this passing the WP:GNG even with your additions. Rorshacma (talk) 14:57, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. The criterion I use to decide if an article is worth keeping is to ask how likely it is that someone (other than the author) would want to look for it at Wikipedia. In this case I think the answer is probably yes.  Athel cb (talk) 10:01, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 19:35, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. I can find nothing on this, most search results are about literal illustrations of orchids. Lacks enough independent coverage. Avilich (talk) 19:39, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
