Delete There is not a single source for TSG Pictures. It has produced the films Sling Blade (film), Illtown, Niagara, Niagara, Frogs for Snakes, Strangeland (film), The 24 Hour Woman, and The Minus Man. The article doesn't even mention the founder of the company. There are also no indications of notability, and it fails GNG and WP:NCORP. This is why it should be deleted.

Keep, rename as The Shooting Gallery, and expand. The current article lacks sourcing and context, but at AfD we evaluate subjects on the basis of their potential for notability, not the current state of an article. See WP:BEFORE. The Shooting Gallery was an important entity in the independent film world during the 1990s. Plentiful coverage can be found in sources like The New York Times [1], Los Angeles Times [2], Village Voice [3], Variety [4], etc. A notable 2013 documentary, Misfire: The Rise and Fall of the Shooting Gallery, also covers the story. The article title should be moved back to the better-known name it used for most of its existence and expanded using the many sources available. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:20, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, rename and expand per Arxiloxos; they got a few Oscar noms and wins for Sling Blade. Even if that was their only film, they'd clinch WP:N on that alone. Nate • (chatter) 01:41, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, T. Canens (talk) 05:57, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per the multiple reliable sources including significant coverage identified by Arxiloxos and now in the article Atlantic306 (talk) 18:30, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
