Sounddogs

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Doesn't really assert notability, doesn't add much to the encyclopedia. I've sent it here seeing as it has been prodded and de-prodded. Picaroon 03:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, and look what the username of the creator was. I'm just barely not bold enough to delete it as an A7, G11 combo, but there's no rush. Picaroon 04:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Ignoring the creator for a second (which should always be done; article content > creator, insofar as AfD goes), I would say that Sounddogs is well known, at least where I come from. A total rewrite is probably in order; though it's no longer as spammy as it was, wiping the article and starting from a stub is probabl indicated. But, again, a straight-up deletion seems unnecessary; rewrite, yes; delete, no. Ourai  тʃс 04:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral I posted the PROD. Enough cleanup has happened to remove the original reason, and I've managed to dig up an article that provides some indication of notability, and also clears up some facts. The article still needs much work, and I'm still undecided as to its value on Wikipedia. I'm also not yet familiar enough about precedent for company pages, particularly outisde of my field of work.

 * Further Comment Notability is also established as given by the owner's record listed on IMDB which cites his involvement (and by extension, company's involvement as a source). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Autocracy (talk • contribs) 19:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC).


 * Keep per the improvements to the article (see diff, including referencing. The claim that this "doesn't add much to the encyclopedia" is a subjective one with which I disagree.  Also, the identity of the author, although always a factor to note, should never be a criterion for deletion.  The article and its topic are all that matter, not who wrote it or why.  -- Black Falcon 06:13, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless properly referenced from reliable sources to establish notability. Nothing there yet. "Owner is on IMDB" does not make a site notable!! NBeale
