Non-notable company. One relevant ghit on each of Books and Scholar. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 20:28, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Two hits on books: here and here. However, there isn't anything that's actually about Pink Pineapple, only things about anime productions they have been involved with.  This material is not notable.  On the other hand, it is verifiable, which means the guidelines direct us to exhaust the alternatives to deletion before we can recommend that the closing administrator removes this material.  In this case, there is a reasonable alternative: we could create a List of Hentai companies and mention Pink Pineapple there.  (Individual items on a list do not have to be notable in their own right.)  There would be 45 other entries, some others of which might also usefully be turned into redirects.— S Marshall  T/C 23:28, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - There has been some coverage but I do not think it is enough to satisfy the notability requirements. – Allen   for   IPv6  17:09, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of hentai companies or List of hentai anime companies. – Allen   for   IPv6  14:54, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge per S Marshall. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 05:27, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep A company is notable if its works are notable. I see some blue links for some of their releases, they having their own Wikipedia articles.   D r e a m Focus  08:13, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. "not every manufacturer of a notable product is itself notable"  Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 17:45, 9 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge to List of Hentai companies per above, all of the titles of Pink Pineapple that are notable can link here as well (Through infobox). - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:28, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * There are a rather large number of blue links. Surely that is enough for its own list article.   D r e a m Focus  07:19, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 * There is also a bunch of those blue links tagged with notability issues, just because something is notable does not mean the studio is, things stand out in their own way. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 12:34, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Almost every single anime and manga article Wikipedia has left is tagged with notability issues. This article is nothing more than a list anyway, so just rename it, and thus problem solved.   D r e a m Focus  20:12, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge to List of hentai companies or List of hentai anime companies, as per S Marshall's proposal. Deeming a company notable just because they produced a few notable (?) works, would mean allowing articles without enough coverage in reliable sources (besides, we would have to define a threshold of notable works before taking such a decision in an AfD). In my opinion, priority in establishing notability should be given to coverage and sources. Having a list including notable works is a good compromise here.Folken de Fanel (talk) 08:51, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I renamed it List of titles by Pink Pineapple since the entire article is a list, and thus list should be in its name. One sentence mentioning what that company is, and then the other 99.999% of the article a list of its titles.  I think it meets all requirements for a list article nicely.

 * Delete Even for a list, the main topic must demonstrate that it meets the inclusion guidelines. In this case, the company itself must show that it is notable. And even then, a list of all of their release will violate WP:NOTCATALOG. —Farix (t &#124; c) 23:17, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * No, it doesn't. Some of the things this company produces are notable, therefore a list article showing all of them is perfectly valid.  LIST   D r e a m Focus  02:16, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
