Kennedy Cartoons

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This company and its principals were involved with some notable cartoons - but I cannot find any evidence to indicate they meet WP:ORG. There's a claim there that Tiny Toons won them (or Glen, it's unclear/unsourced) an Emmy, but with notability not being inherited I think this is a tough call.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment - well there's this - . Nfitz (talk) 23:55, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * mind some context for those of us without access? Thanks Star   Mississippi  02:35, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It's a 1989 Toronto Star article about some local animation studios - this being one of them. You should be able to access using your Wikipedia Library account from this link. Nfitz (talk) 07:46, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you . I apparently don't qualify (Sorry, your Wikipedia account doesn’t currently qualify to access The Wikipedia Library.) but hopefully others who see this discussion can access thanks to your expanded info. Star   Mississippi  15:25, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * You surely do qualify . The criteria for basic access (including Proquest) is any non-blocked editor with more than 500 edits, 10 edits in the last month, and have an account older than 6 months! I'd have assumed that most participating in AFD would be using this tool, at least for decades-old subjects! Nfitz (talk) 21:45, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks again . I cleared cache and logged back in and this time get Permission denied. Sorry; you aren't allowed to do that. If you think your account should be able to do that, please email us about this error at wikipedialibrary@wikimedia.org or report it to us on Phabricator (?). Will send an email as I definitely meet the criteria you indicated. Star   Mississippi  22:51, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

 * For those without access, I'll attempt an overview. The article discusses the fact that Toronto's animation studios have never been busier and a bigger push should be made to reduce the amount of work being sent overseas. Various companies are name-checked including their current project(s) and in this vein, Kennedy Cartoons is mentioned and their current project is described.

 * Delete Since this is a company/organization, the relevant guideline is WP:NCORP. I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability which includes content which is in-depth about the company and original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject.

 * Delete Fails WP:NCORP per HighKing's argument. SBKSPP (talk) 04:56, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
