The company has collaborated with multiple brands the most famous of them is Zee5 with which it has 5 upcoming web series planned. It has 900K+ people watching its series across platforms, leaving an footprint with 150M+ impressions and a 60M+ views on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. i didn't mention it because it may sound promotional and can go against the guidelines of wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Syed Sadique Hussain (talk • contribs) 06:32, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

 * @Syed Sadique Hussain To refute your points:
 * - There are 14 listings of this company with at least 1 significant reliable coverage about the company - Listings do not show notability. Additionally, the "reliable" article that you linked, is borderline hagiographical and links to the companies youtube and instagram at the bottom of the article, asking the reader to "click play". I have serious doubts on the neutrality and relaibility of the article.
 * - In Dainik Bhaskar - "Webseries Faltu Engineers made by the youth of Indore, told the struggle after college.pdf" (PDF). Dainik Bhaskar (in Hindi). Retrieved 26 August 2023. That is a udrop link to a image as a pdf, which is hard to read for anyone who is not as well versed with the Hindi script. I would suggest linking to the web article instead from henceforth. That aside this seems like coverage for the webseries, and not the company itself. Also, even if the webseries/product is notable, the company might not be, for example, Among Us is notable, Innersloth is not.
 * - "Indores The Blunt web series Faltu Engineers will be released on Zee 5.pdf" (PDF). Rajeev Times (in Hindi). Retrieved 26 August 2023. - This is a press release and confers no notability.
 * - "Indore: Local actors have a chance to make it big on world stage". Free Press Journal. Retrieved 26 August 2023. - This is a press release as well
 * - The company has collaborated with multiple brands the most famous of them is Zee5 with which it has 5 upcoming web series planned. It has 900K+ people watching its series across platforms, leaving an footprint with 150M+ impressions and a 60M+ views on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. - Again this does not prove that the company is notable, and is most definitely promotional. -- Sohom (talk) 15:03, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sohom Datta Yes, i agree with you that having many listing does'nt mean that it can show notability but reliable source in news article does right ...but don't you think a news article talk about the subject in detail and here the publisher is doing the same thing. Apart, from that maybe the reason why they added the Instagram and YouTube link is added because...the company doesn't have any website for reason i don't know why.. but it does have good amount of influence and is considered quite notable in the area of the OTT platform of India specifically since their target audience is original.
 * Secondly, the reason why i used udrop links for the news is because old news website links are not accessible since, it is showing error. although i tried to find the archive but i was not able to it a common issue faced by every editor....it's better to have a link that is live rather than dead link. Syed Sadique Hussain (talk) 06:14, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * If you want to save deadlinks and prevent linkrot, Internet Archive is the way to go.
 * Wrt to the singular article by the free press journal, as I said previously, I gravely doubt it's reliability and neutrality on the topic. (Especially when their site links to this slide deck where they lay out the amount of money that a person must shell out to get a paid article). Sohom (talk) 09:00, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with your review, simple listings and the things given here don't help notability for Wikipedia, we need articles about the company, not just something that mentions them. Oaktree b (talk) 20:49, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete: No sources found for this media enterprise. I can only find things about being blunt, or about this term used as a slang for marijuana. Oaktree b (talk) 20:48, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: Only found promo materials, fails GNG or NCORP, no WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth.  // Timothy :: talk  22:59, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
