There is no doubt that this organisation has produced some notable TV shows but notability is not inherited. The organisation itself does not seem to meet the general notability guideline and the article does not establish notability. AussieLegend (✉) 09:45, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as creator, per WP:IAR. The rules are pretty self-evidently flawed if a TV company with 5 US TV shows on the air(!), including 3 on NBC, isn't considered notable. Alternatively, merge with Sean Hayes, which would achieve nothing other than making Wikipedia harder to navigate for end-users, but would allow the exact same content to continue to exist uncontroversially while working around notability rules because, while Wikipedia is WP:NOTPAPER, there is a strange double standard in notability requirements between pages and page sections. -Halo (talk) 13:02, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per nom, notability is not inherited because shows they make may be notable. Caffeyw (talk) 01:35, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and Merge somewhere, probably to Sean Hayes. The company gets a ton of mentions[1] and occasional significant coverage.[2] Almost all of the mentions name Todd Milliner, Sean Hayes' partner in the venture, but he does not seem to have a Wikipedia article of his own; maybe he should. In any case this production company gets way too many independent mentions to be deleted, if a redirect is possible. --MelanieN (talk) 21:17, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I added several references to the article to see if I could get it up to notability, but I still don't think it makes it. However, the material should be merged somewhere else. If the result is delete, maybe it could be userfied to User:Halo so that the material isn't lost. --MelanieN (talk) 22:42, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
