The article reads somewhat promotionally and was created by a user called Trianglepro (I have already notified them of the issue with their username on their talk page). There's a substantial number of search results, but many aren't for this Triangle Productions. As best I can tell they are locally prominent, but I don't feel that justifies an article on Wikipedia. I also didn't feel that it meets the criteria for speedy deletion because it is heavily referenced (although that perhaps disguises a lack of notability). KaisaL (talk) 00:43, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
- Delete I would have speedied this myself, it's obviously non-notable, promotional in tone, and the COI creator has been blocked for using a username that breaches our policies Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:00, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

- Delete as spam! Fails WP:GNG . Bearian (talk) 20:42, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- P.S. All sources are local media. Bearian (talk) 20:43, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- Keep as there are a lot of sources. This is an article that needs to be worked on, rather than deleted. Since the user has been notified about the username, that issue can easily be dealt with if the user takes the right steps. This company has been around for nearly 25 years and has clearly had numerous articles written about it. There are many other local wikipedia pages that have been approved such as Live Wire Radio and Portland Center Stage so the idea of this article being removed for being a local company should be reconsidered. The notes on "Spam" have been taken care of, the multiple links to other articles have been narrowed to one each and the sources on the bottom have had the capitals removed. The sources should be more diverse, looking at other news sources or books for reference instead of The Oregonian. It's a simple fix. Barefeetandcoffee (talk) 22:41, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
- Note. The above user is one of the original creators of the page (source) and has no contributions that do not relate to the article. They are also a volunteer for Triangle Productions and as such I would cite WP:COI. KaisaL (talk) 23:54, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
- On a personal note, I would argue that lots of sources does not define notability (there's a Wikipedia page on this regarding padding an article with lots of references to try and create the illusion of notability, but its name escapes me), and also that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS applies too.
