fails WP:CORP. a minor now defunct company. gets a few minor hits, and I note references 9-16 are small mentions. part of the article is a content fork talking about the criminality of its founder. LibStar (talk) 03:46, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'll do some digging for references. DEN had a major presence in the digital entertainment space during the early dot com days. The article (if the sources can be found) wouldn't be flattering; they staffed up with prominent executives, built very expensive offices, offered ridiculous perks, and burned through millions of dollars without generating any revenue in a short period of time. And that's on top of the controversy previously mentioned. It's an interesting company, historically, in terms of their (failed) role in the development of original online content and the dot com bust. JSFarman (talk) 23:05, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep now mostly remembered as a dot-com era flop, but in its day it was one of the main attempts to start a TV-style video network online, and it got considerable press at the time for it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:11, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
