Non-notable TV production company. Could not find any WP:IRS searching either the internet or via a ProQuest offline article search. Fails WP:COMPANY. Cabrils (talk) 03:47, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I found a reliable source with a Google search in no time at all.[1] Gary Reilly Productions was very well known in the '80s and '90s, mainly due to the success of Hey Dad..!. There was some more recent coverage surrounding the trial of the star of that program in 2014. --AussieLegend (✉) 05:07, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- @AussieLegend: Just for clarity, the link of a 'reliable source' is to a Screen Australia listing of productions by this company. How does that qualify as making the production company notable? On that basis wouldn't every single TV production company in the world have a claim to being in Wikipedia? You might be correct but my understanding of WP:CREATIVE is that significantly more is required? And I also don't understand how being incidentally in the news (not substantial coverage) because of the trial of a lead actor in the series Hey Dad..! satisfies the requirements for notability for the production company? Again, I also found this reference you have mentioned, and others, but in my opinion they are not substantial reliable sources as required by WP:NOTE. I am aware of your experience here so I'm just seeking clarity so I understand the guidelines better. Cabrils (talk) 00:00, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - You said that you could not find any reliable sources. I was merely commenting that I found one very quickly. That said, GRP was notable in the 1980s when most of its activities occurred. Unfortunately, that was pre-Internet so you won't find a lot of online sources today. --AussieLegend (✉) 05:37, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, fails GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 18:24, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I cannot find anything but very minor and essentially routine coverage, ie, it verfiably existed. At least one of its productions, Hey Dad..!, was very notable but notability is not inherited. Aoziwe (talk) 13:48, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
