Elevating Entertainment

Lrcee (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) "Contested" prod. Subject is film production company that appears non-notable. References discuss films the company has made so not entirely on topic. No sources for the company itself. Few Google hits. Massive COI and SPA problem.

Keep

Disagree with the assertion that the company is non-notable.
- Principals of the company are well known industry professionals in Nashville (country, acoustic, and christian music) with over 30 years in the entertainment industry and have expanded into family film production over the past four years. Linking to them does not make this a COI. Have added new articles that also discuss the company.
- Dove Foundation is by far one of the industry's leading reviewer of films for family audiences and they have recommended two movies produced by the company with their Family Approved Seal. (http://www.dove.org)
- International distributor of company's films "Moving Pictures Film and Television" is a well known foreign film distributor exhibiting at Cannes Marche de Film, American Film Market (AFM), Toronto Film Festival, etc is run by former Sony and Loinsgate executes. (http://movingpicturesfilmandtv.com)
- Company is included in the Screen Actors Guide (SAG) indie index reference as a production company in Tennessee. (http://www.sagindie.org/directory/tennessee-101-producer.html)
- Company has worked with leading actors in the industry, including Rob Schnieder (IMDb STARmeter 250), John de Lancie (IMDb 5000), Catherine Hicks (IMDb 2500), Rance Howard (IMDb 5000), Margaret O'Brien (IMDb 3000), Lee Meriwether (IMDb 4000), Bill Cobbs (IMDb 4000), and many others featured in the company's productions. Company has new projects in pre-production. All actor's credits clearly recognized by Internet Movie Database for the films produced.

Redirect/merge to Lamon Records, of which this appears to be a subsidiary. Elevating Entertainment is not notable in itself. Google News search finds plenty of hits for the phrase "elevating entertainment," but none for the company. Google hits are either trivial or lead to the Lamon Records website.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep Company appears notable on its own, especially in the emerging genre of faith-friendly films. See recent article July 19, 2010 USA Today TwoRiversWC (talk) 11:13, 20 July 2010 (UTC) (Note: User:TwoRiversWC has made few or no edits outside of this subject, and has now been banned as a sockpuppet of User:Lrcee.)[reply]

Which doesn't appear to discuss the subject at all? Christopher Connor (talk) 18:14, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, the USA Today article is about Christian films, but there is no mention of this company that I could find. --MelanieN (talk) 04:17, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mentions a lot of things, but none relevant here. Peridon (talk) 18:24, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect/merge per MelanieN. Peridon (talk) 12:04, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
