Minds Eye Entertainment

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Semi-advertorialized article about a film production company, not properly referenced as passing our notability standards for companies. As always, the notability test is not simply the fact that their films are technically verifiable as existing -- the notability test is the reception of media coverage about the company, sufficient in range and depth and volume to clear WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. But apart from one non-notable and unreliable blog, the sources here are otherwise entirely to the films' IMDb profiles, with not even one shred of real reliable source coverage in real media shown at all. Wikipedia is not a free advertising platform: we depend on media coverage, not directory entries, as the determinant of whether a company is notable enough for a Wikipedia article or not.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete: Plenty of passing mentions and press releases, not really any significant coverage from reliable sources out there. This article probably counts as significant coverage, but anything else that I could find was just a press release masquerading as an article or This article and mentions that are too short.

 * Delete per WP:NOTCATALOGUE because as written, that's all this is: an article that says this is the name of the film production company and these are a partial list of films this company has produced. We can get this from IMDb. Like, I noted the same article that likely meets WP:SIGCOV, but we need at least one more article to meet WP:GNG (three to five would be better). So it's maybe notable, but even then, I'm not sure we get to WP:CORPDEPTH. I wouldn't be opposed to draftification (arguably, this article should've been draftified or PRODed to save us the AfD), but there's nothing here worth keeping. Most of the coverage I found was reliable source coverage about films they've made or are going to make, which I doubt qualify as they're not about the company, such as this one about a film called "Endless," shot in my hometown and principal residence of Kelowna. This one about The Recall, a Total Recall remake from 2016 starring Wesley Snipes, which was also shot in Kelowna, might get us closer to qualifying as it does discuss the company in a minimal way, whereas this one meets our criteria of it coming from a reliable source, but it's not about the company.
