Delete. Article has been in mainspace without a single reference for over 15 years. Does not meet WP:NCORP, let alone WP:GNG. Madeleine (talk) 20:59, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to David Conover. Nothing I can find on google news/books/scholar. There are some hits on newspapers.com, which basically fall into two categories: subject is name-dropped in a piece mostly about the founder (example: [1]), or routine pieces about documentaries being produced by the company (example: [2]).

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Blank and redirect to David Conover; there is no cited content to merge; if somebody wants to add the info in the citations listed above, they can just add it to the David Conover article. Mostly in agreement with Zzz plant. Mrfoogles (talk) 01:37, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - the company is an alter ego of the man. Bearian (talk) 01:46, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to David G. Conover - Nothing much to merge that isn't already in the target article, but no reason to lose the page history. Suriname0 (talk) 16:47, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
