[edit] The Meatrix

Non-notable flash animation by non-notable company. The client they speak of doesn't even have its own article. Not on the level of "Jib Jab" in cultural importance. James Gordon 22:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Neutral.Keep I had prodded this article in the past, and someone else deprodded it. When I looked more closely, I found taht this flash animation actually won a few independent-looking awards. I left a link on the page to the awards list; I was able to confirm some of those awards; others were on web pages that are expired now. B/C of that, I didn't take the article to AfD myself.

  • Keep on the basis of the awards the animation has won. It's off on the sides, yes, but it clears the notability hurdle. —C.Fred (talk) 23:54, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Article is completely self referencing. The link to the awards is on the movies own site. The awards sited are equally non-notable and I doubt would make the cut as separate articles. If three uninteresting people say they know an equally uninteresting person is that notability?--James Gordon 00:20, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Like I said, that was laziness on my part, but the awards I tried to verify, I mostly was able to. It would be nice if the article said a little more about them, rather than just "The Meatrix has won several awards," which was fine when the article was a 3-line stub.

  • Keep per C.Fred. Danny Lilithborne 01:04, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, yes the awards are listed on their own page, but it's easy to verify the awards they won from there. And "2005 Webby Awards Winner" isn't too shabby. - Mgm|(talk) 09:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Yeah, now that you mention it, the Webby award is specifically listed as an example of an award that establishes notability in WP:WEB. Changing my vote to keep now, as I'm sure. Mangojuicetalk 14:17, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I don't see why it should be deleted. Wiki-newbie 18:14, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
