 * Keep per meeting WP:CORP. The article needs use of available expansion and sourcing. Speaking toward its European expansion Variety does call it Canada’s premiere animation studio, Ottawa Business Journal speaks toward of it in depth when reporting on Canadian animation studios raising funds, Animation Magazine speaks toward it in detail staffing when it reports "Culbert Appointed VP of Production at Mercury Filmworks", and it also when it reports the "Annecy Details 2016 Pro Conferences" (a major animation industry conference), and the are many other sources available to show that under WP:NRVE and WP:NEXIST we have a reasonable assertion of topic notability, even if currently unsourced. So sorry, we improve weak topics and not delete simply because they need editorial attention. WP:BEFORE is always a great tool to use.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 10:35, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep as passing WP:CORP and WP:GNG. In addition to Michael's examples, I would add this other Variety article, as well as this article from the Canadian childen's content trade magazine Kidscreen on a new digital venture from the company. There's really no shortage of Gnews coverage on the company. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:06, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep There seem to be enough available sources for an expansion. Dimadick (talk) 17:17, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Requires expansion but is not worthy of deletion. -- Dane 2007  talk 18:13, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
