The Revels Group

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This company (described on its Crunchbase profile as "company co-founded in 2012 by Co-CEOs Jamil Davis and Matt Bauerschmidt an entertainment and media powerhouse") would appear to fail any or all of WP:CORP for the organisation itself, Jamil Davis and Matt Bauerschmidt for WP:ANYBIO. As always, please do prove me wrong. Pete AU User:Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 12:56, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - per WP:NCORP and WP:PROMO. The first ref in the article is to a non-RS WP:FORBESCON source, the second ref is a Billboard interview with company personnel, with a superficial overview about the company provided "per Geffen", before a Q&A format and a list of producers and writers, which is limited WP:CORPDEPTH and a failure of WP:ORGIND to support notability. The third ref is a Billboard 'top 40' list that is trivial coverage per WP:CORPDEPTH, with a passing mention of Revels Group by someone actually listed. The fourth ref is a Variety 'New Leaders of 2022' source with one graf focused on Geffen and his two companies, including his quote plus another Geffen quote, so this is also trivial coverage per WP:CORPDEPTH about the Revels Group and fails WP:ORGIND. The Revolt post about a party at a restaurant hosted by the company is not significant coverage of the company itself, and neither is the announcement of an "Executive Q&A: Jamil Davis, co-CEO, The Revels Group", or the Billboard and Black Enterprise announcements 1 2 of a co-hosted honorary brunch. An online search finds a brief/passing mention in Rolling Stone, a Billboard announcement of a co-curated event, a Billboard 'top 40' list that names a founder (but is still trivial coverage), brief mention in Variety related to an artist, and similar brief mention/announcement sources, but no sources with WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. Per WP:SIRS, each source is subject to individual evaluation, and this collection of mentions, announcements, and other trivial coverage is not sufficient to support notability per WP:NCORP.
