Lo-Max Films

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Declined A7, on the enirely fatuous and ill-informed grounds that "since when has ANY article citing the New York Times been an A7?". The cite in question may establish the notability of the product of this company notable, but not the company itself, which has hardly done anything.TheLongTone (talk) 13:28, 3 June 2015 (UTC)


 * It is entirely untrue that Lo-Max Films "has hardly done anything". Lo-Max Films is the film company producing American Epic, a series of documentary films to be broadcast by PBS in the US and by the BBC in the UK, which are executive-produced by T Bone Burnett, Robert Redford, and Jack White. These are all notable organizations and people, and Lo-Max Films is mentioned independently by press reports cited in the References.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Strong delete The NYT sources does not mention the article-subject. The others are trivial mentions. Notability is not inherited. We are not in a position to evaluate the article-subject's significance, only whether the source material has done so and they have not. CorporateM (Talk) 07:04, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Move to American Epic as suggested above with my searches (News, Books, highbeam and thefreelibrary) finding nothing to suggest independent notability aside from one mention here. SwisterTwister   talk  04:06, 22 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Redirect. Available sources speaking about Lo-Max all speak more about its relationship with American Epic, and less about Lo-Max as a production company. Heck, even the article itself tells us "The company is producing a series of four music films under the banner of American Epic". So while it might be spoken of and sourced within the articles on American Epic and those of its founders Allison McGourty, Bernard MacMahon, and Duke Erikson, it does not have enough independent notability for a separate article just yet. TOO SOON.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 05:59, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
