Comment: The sources provided don't establish notability. Secondary sources are mostly trivial mentions and more in depth sources are not secondary. I also still have concerns about COI from the editor as well. Moritoriko (talk) 04:22, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Although the article has been repurposed into a biography, it uses the same churnalism sources as before. Moreover, the latest changes restore the bombardment of duplicate references previously cleaned up. There is a claim of notability as executive producer of multiple wiki-notable films, but the current promotional references are unacceptable. • Gene93k (talk) 20:44, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: While this draft is nominally about a company, it is really a CV of that company's principal. While Mr. Everard may be a notable person per WP:FILMMAKER, the citations provided show coverage that is too routine in nature. • Gene93k (talk) 01:27, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
