[edit] Whiteley Film Co

an "amateur film company". They have a website, but there's nothing to suggest they've made any significant films. I can't confirm existance of them, other than by their own website and their myspace page. Friday (talk) 16:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. An "amateur film company" really needs to show why it is notable. Vegaswikian 06:17, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Everyone has to start somewhere.Plus we get, on average, 1,000 hits a month. Nuff said WFCO 11:14, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Please do not use Wikipedia to promote yourself. Friday (talk) 20:39, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

You need help. Wikipedia is meant to be a useful resource for people to find out anything they want to know and yet people like you are going round unnecessarily deleting articles for no other reason than to exert some sort of power over people. Wikipedia aren't exactly short on server space, Get a life. WFCO (talk) 20:39, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Note that Wfco (improperly signed above) appears to be a primary maintainer of this article. I doubt it's coincidence that the initials in his username happen to be the same of those of this film company. Friday (talk) 16:16, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, as there's no claim of notability. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 19:06, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. No evidence given of notability such as films distributed or participation in film festivals. Capitalistroadster 19:11, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• There is no independent news coverage, no company history, no books, and no articles relating to this company. The only things that research turns up are Wikipedia, its mirrors, and self-promotion by the company itself. Wikipedia is not an advertising billboard, and this company fails to satisfy any of the WP:CORP criteria. Delete. Uncle G 21:53, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Contrary to User:Wfco's claims, Wikipedia is not "for people to find out anything they want to know"; there is a whole list of information that Wikipedia is not here to provide at WP:WIN. It is also not the correct place for people who "have to start somewhere" to start; Wikipedia is here to reflect notability, not to create it. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:59, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Uncle G. As far as the web site, 1000 hits/month is pretty much immeasurably small. My (totally non-notable) home page gets about 4x that. MCB 00:21, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Anteus. Wikipedia is about writing articles about notable people, things and concepts. It is not about advertising for non-notable things to help them become notable. --Johntex\^talk 09:47, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
