Delete. Advertorially toned WP:BLPs of the main partners in a film and television production company, based entirely on primary sources and directories (IMDb is not a reliable or notability-conferring source) with the exception of a single piece of reliable source coverage which just namechecks their existence in conjunction with a project while failing to be about them. As well, the articles were created by User:Johnnylarue490 -- since the production company was named "LaRue Entertainment" in memory of John Candy's SCTV character "Johnny LaRue", the conflict of interest is apparent. People like this would be eligible to have Wikipedia articles if they could be sourced well enough to pass WP:GNG, but the mere fact of working as a film and television producer does not constitute an automatic WP:CREATIVE pass in and of itself, or an exemption from having to be sourced properly.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 05:52, 9 September 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: The Matt King (producer) article has been deleted, per consensus herein. However, only the nominator and the !vote by User:NinjaRobotPirate seem to address the nomination for Andrew Ferguson (producer). The other two !votes of "non-notable producer" and "... as the article noticeably simply lists names... (et al.)" imply that only the Matt King (producer) article listed atop the discussion was considered, per the singular forms of grammar used. North America1000 11:38, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete both. The nomination lays out a good argument.  They get mentioned in reliable sources, such as  from The Hollywood Reporter, but I don't see significant coverage about either. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:39, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as the article noticeably simply lists names of other people and entities, nothing actually forming information confirming his own independent notability. SwisterTwister   talk  01:02, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete If you search for Andrew Ferguson in this source, there is simply a passing mention. This essentially quotes the subject in relation to an event, but there is hardly anything about the subject. This is not significance coverage, so delete. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:19, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
 * and it would be helpful if you clarify per the concerns mentioned in the relisting. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:20, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
