DePRODed alleging sources exist; no specific sources demonstrated that may prove notability, however, only a vague wave. Fails WP:NCORP/WP:CORPDEPTH with a dearth of significant coverage not specifically about games they developed. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:48, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

- Keep The studio created a video game with a fairly prolific cast and more footage than just about any other game, plus an independent science fiction film with Patton Oswalt, Robert Picardo, and Patrick Warburton. I understand sourcing was/is an issue, but I just added one from the Springfield News-Leader about MEAD. More will come soon, I'm just coming off a long work stretch.

- FYI, notability is not inherited by a company from works they created. That source would not technically count towards notability of the studio. MEAD (film) (or MEAD, since I just moved it due to WP:DIFFCAPS) has an article already; that is where to put that reference, not here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:18, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to J. Allen Williams - As Parallax would be considered a company and need to qualify under WP:NCORP, it must be shown there are sources that meet WP:ORGCRIT. The references used in the draft can verify it exists, verify the films exist, and talk about the founder. A search found sources such as this that are more in-depth about Williams as a filmmaker and simply state the films were produced through the studio. He is notable, the company (which is basically a name used by him to put on the films) is not. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:21, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
- This seems like a good solution, honestly. One makes the other a tad redundant. Jg2904 (talk) 06:10, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
