VEB Film Leipzig

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Possible advertising for nn film company. While the article has recently had some independent sources added, these are either minor mentions or seem to support notability for one of the company's films, but not the company itself. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 15:58, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - Seems to fail WP:CORP, and sources cited are only trivial, en passant mentions (not about the article subject). /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 18:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Concerns of "Possible advert" should be addressed through WP:CLEANUP, as AfD is NOT for cleanup. User: Avb0001 makes some very valid points. Logic and WP:AGF allow that German reliable sources showing notability should be translated and considered... unless a German Wikipedian, qualified to do a proper (and lacking) search per WP:BEFORE tells me they do not exist. For any to assert "I haven't heard of 'em, so they can't be notable" Or "I cannot find English sources, so it can't be notable" OR "I cannot read the non-English sources, so they must not reliable" would be just the tiniest bit of hubris. Per the applicable essay WP:CSB, the article should be cleaned up, kept, and then expanded.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q.
 * Weak keep as the producer of what sems to be one notable film, Route 66, (based on the reviews in Spiegel Online &  Telepolis)   and another just possibly notable film, the about to be released or just released "The Last Drug". Whether the two films show the company notable is unclear; I have not found any good published source about them in particular--the ghits are mainly   postings of the open source films, or blog comments about them.
