Promotional tone; crappy reference format; most of "article" consists of page after page of product catalog. I don't know whether the current version can be salvaged, or if we need to blow up this one and start afresh. Orange Mike | Talk 23:40, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete if, as it appears, this company distributes films rather than makes them or has any creative input. Notability would need to be achieved by receiving general, secondary, non-industry coverage about the company, rather than piggy-backing on the notability of the films. It's only been established for a year, so unlikely to have made any lasting impact. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. Sionk (talk) 00:09, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Have you seen the number of video distribution companies that have pages dedicated to them on WP?? E.g.: Category:Home_video_lines, Category:Home_video_companies_of_the_United_States Are you going to call for all of them to be deleted?? Cagwinn (talk) 00:32, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Some of them clearly meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Feel free to nominate those that don't. As I say above, this one in particular seems to very new, and piggy-backing its notability on its 'products'. More than that, by listing all of their releases with catalogue numbers and available formats, the company is clearly using Wikipedia as an extension of their website to sell their products. The article should be deleted for being a blatant advert. Sionk (talk) 11:21, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What's the reasoning behind this? Should one wait a few years before creating a band/company/film page because otherwise they want to "sell their products"? Furthermore, the company did not create this page, boutique label fans did. Like they did for Criterion, and Arrow, and all pages of this kind. Why don't you delete Sony's List of Instant Game Collection games list? By your standards, it makes people want to buy PS+ subscriptions in order to enjoy all those games. A blatant advert, really.

  • Keep The indicator label is far more than a distributor. It’s a curated collection with genuine first party content created to accompany each release. This takes it far beyond the realms of such titles as Now That’s What I Call Music which is on Wikipedia and is a blatant redistribution with no original content. Here’s the link https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Now_That%27s_What_I_Call_Music Would you consider taking this for deletion using the same reasoning? I think not. As previously commented on, the request for deletion seems more than a little malicious and I have to call into question the motives for such a request considering the amount of useful information available on the page that contravenes no established Wikipedia rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flux Ultra (talk • contribs) 09:28, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep, but remove catalogue. This content has already been deleted at AFD per WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTCATALOGUE. --woodensuperman 09:19, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The previous AfD related to a list article of films created by this company. A lack of article about the company itself was cited as a rationale for deletion then...and now someone has created such an article. Many sources. The list article of films is entirely consistent with other pages such as: List of Masters of Cinema releases & List of Criterion Collection DVD and Blu-ray releases. Constructive suggestions presented as to how these concerns can be addressed in order maintain the page are likely to be addressed. Sarac3ns (talk) 17:59, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Article is about a company, not a list of DVDs or films, so your argument doesn't wash. Sionk (talk) 18:17, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • The article is about the company and the releases from that company which are a curated collection with genuine first party content created to accompany each release. Were the company article to be placed separate to a page featuring a List of Indicator Series releases consistent with those Master of Cinema & Criterion pages would that be sufficient? Worth adding that the page: List of Criterion Collection DVD and Blu-ray releases - contains both company information and release details. Sarac3ns (talk) 18:44, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: It passes WP:GNG. Ciccio.santini (talk) 09:50, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep Passes GNG.
