Appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:ORG - can't find any useful third party WP:RS anywhere. Luke no 94 (tell Luke off here) 16:27, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep there's a reference to the BFI in the article. J3Mrs (talk) 18:03, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * How is that a third-party reference? The majority of British film making studios will appear there. All that does is prove that NIPP existed. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 18:37, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It's a third-party reference because NIPP != BFI - that's what third party means. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:58, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - obviously the article needs to be expanded, but there does seem to be notability here - in addition to the BFI ref, the company's films are held by multiple GLAMS and government departments (ex. IWM, National Archives, AWM) and have been used as sources by other publications (ex. Medical Humanities - subscription needed). There appear to be other sources available to aid expansion - for example, this newspaper article gives details of the company's liquidation. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:58, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep -- At present we have a bad stub, but we need an article. It looks as if it was a government film unit, largely engaged in producing public information films.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:46, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. It was a lot more than a government film unit. I just expanded the article, with references. Take a look at it now. I'm sure the article could be expanded even more, but would require physical trips to libraries. Voceditenore (talk) 18:33, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
