Microcinema International

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a film distribution company, not referenced to any reliable source coverage to get it over WP:CORPDEPTH. The only real "reference" here is the primary source website of one of the company's founders — and other than a two-sentence introduction stating that the company existed and then didn't anymore, the article is otherwise serving almost entirely as an WP:ELNO-violating linkfarm of inappropriate offlinks to the films' IMDb profiles. (Just two of the 74 titles link internally to a Wikipedia article about the film instead of to IMDb.) As always, Wikipedia is not a platform for creating finding aids to other websites' content -- this needs to be written as a properly referenced encyclopedia article about Microcinema, not just a list of its films, and the links in the list need to be internal wikilinks, not offsite links to IMDb. All the linkfarming leaves it quite close to being speediable as unambiguous advertising, in fact, with its fairly neutral writing tone being the only thing that stopped me.

 * Delete - obvious since there are no reliable sources. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 04:54, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: Despite some brief coverage of this company's initiatives such as Halloweird and an Independent Exposures competition, I am not seeing evidence to support the importance claim in the stub text. Without that, it fails WP:CORPDEPTH. AllyD (talk) 09:04, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
