The result was delete. It seems that WP:LISTED would require that sourced be produced so they can be weighed. Without those sources, there is broad consensus to delete. Drmies (talk) 03:30, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Imagineer (Japanese company)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested WP: PROD. No justification provided by the contesting editor (indeed, his posts at my personal talk page and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga heavily imply that he is contesting all of my PRODs indiscriminately). The only cited source, GameFAQs, is unreliable due to its use of user-submitted content (see WP:WikiProject Video games/Sources). The article on Japanese Wikipedia has slightly better sourcing, but not enough that importing them would bring this article up to WP: NCOMPANY standards. Researching the subject is difficult due to the existence of at least one unrelated company with the same name, but my admittedly limited checks have turned up no useful sources for the article.

 * Delete. This is a Proposed deletion. The deletion should stand. It appears justified. No signs of being notable such as good sources, etc. I did do a Google search of "imagineer JASDAQ". Knox490 (talk) 04:45, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - Publicly traded company with a market capitalization of over US$90M. Keeping per WP:LISTED, the Nikkei has several (paywalled and Japanese) articles on the company at http://www.nikkei.com/nkd/company/news/?scode=4644&ba=9&DisplayType=1 - hahnch e n 10:36, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. We have no sources to write this article, so it's impossible to do justice to the topic and fulfill WP:V simultaneously. Also note that the linked publicly traded corp notability guidelines say that stock market listing itself isn't automatic notability, as we need the source material. Additionally, I wouldn't call the jpwp article's sources any better. Of the three links, two are primary sources and one is another jpwp article. I didn't get any hits in EBSCOhost outside of Disney, though Factiva is worth a try if someone has access. They tend to have more business-related publications. czar  05:09, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
