The result was redirect to Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return. As a footnote: if your !vote is for a redirect, please don't say it's "Delete by...", "Soft delete..." or anything other than "redirect". A redirect is a redirect. A delete is a delete. And never the twain shall meet. Thank you. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:18, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is not a single source for Summertime Entertainment. It has produced only one film, Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return. I don't know if this company will produce any upcoming animated films. I also think that this company is defunct and future sequels of Legends of Oz, Dorothy's Return might be handled by a different animation studio. There are no indications of notability, and it fails GNG and WP:NCORP. Evil Idiot 23:19, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. I found three sources, but the real story appears to be the two founders, the Carroll brothers, who have had at least one production company before this and reportedly went on to Stereo Vision Entertainment (unreliable source), and whose fundraising methods have raised complaints and led to censure in various states. I'm not sure where this story best fits, especially since I started getting into unreliable sources and was unable to confirm the company closing down in 2015 as the article states. Otherwise I would argue for a change of focus and move to an article on the founders with redirects from Summertime, Alpine Productions, and possibly others. But there are three sources about the company now in the article, so I'm coming down on the "keep" side. Yngvadottir (talk) 00:55, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete ,,, Business idea that went under, nothing good at the end of the day meant a waste of an article. Hey you, yeah you! (talk) 18:35, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Soft delete by redirecting to Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return. Maybe in few years they'll become notable if they keep making stuff like that. As they went under, that's not likely... For now, WP:NOTYELLOWPAGES. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:51, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return since operations did not extend beyond this film. gidonb (talk) 00:32, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete by redirecting to Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return as suggested above. Ventric (talk) 00:00, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  I third that. For example, Majestic Studios redirects to its only production, Limbo of the Lost, for similar reasons. 165.91.13.3 (talk) 03:53, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
