Delete nn company, fails WP:CORP Carlossuarez46 (talk) 20:26, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - Referenced by IMDb, BFI and the BBC among others, plentiful Google search results, and the notability of particularly the Raymond Briggs, Very Hungry Caterpillar and Little Princess material Blobni19 (talk) 00:09, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Delete, non-notable production company. Please note that directories like IMDB and BFI are usually not taken as indicators of notability. Lankiveil (talk) 05:12, 23 December 2007 (UTC).
- Delete. fails WP:CORP. Even if you accept the "refs," they don't establish notability. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 09:00, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep if improved - the subject of the article is notable, but unfortunately the notability isn't established by the article text or by the refs given, a fairly common problem with stub articles. This can easily be fixed. This company's Little Princess series was broadcast on Five (channel), one of the main five British TV channels, and the show was recently nominated for a British Academy Children's Film and Television Award. The company was also responsible for the Christmas Carol: The Movie animated movie which featured the voices of Nicolas Cage and Kate Winslet, among others.

- Keep – has definitely established notability as shown here [1], and Google News as shown here [2]. Shoessss | Chat 14:07, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Even I've heard of them. Article is rubbish, but that's grounds for improvement, not deletion.Annamonckton (talk) 14:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
