This podcasting company does not pass WP:CORPDEPTH or even WP:GNG. The current references are all primary. I searched on Google, Google News, Google News Archive, Google Books, Google Scholar, and Newspapers.com using a combination of search parameters such as "Bald Move", "Podcast", "Podcasting", "Peter Street", "Jim Jones", and "Ron Hubbard". I found some WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS of the company on Google and Google News, but they were all focused on the podcasts produced by the company rather than the company itself. The company does not WP:INHERIT notability from its shows, but even if it did I'm not entirely sure the shows are notable. Anne drew Andrew and Drew removed the WP:PROD tag with the comment that "I found a number of good sources on Google News", but neglected to add any references to the article. I also asked them to present sources on the talk page a few days ago, but I have yet to receive a response so I decided to take it to WP:AFD.

Keep because it's an influential podcast network that's had a decent amount of media coverage.[1][2][3][4][5][6] I don't like the argument that it's the individual podcasts that received coverage and therefore the company behind them isn't notable. The whole business model is that they create podcasts about whatever show is currently topical. It's like saying you can't establish notability for a TV show based on the notability of each of its seasons. – Anne drew 22:04, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment in regards to Anne drew Andrew and Drew and Mommmyy arguments to keep. I don't believe the comparison is a fair one. TV series have different seasons and so do podcasts. I'm not claiming a podcast is non-notable even though individual seasons have received coverage in reliable sources. I'm claiming a company that produces podcasts is non-notable. I would argue that a company producing TV series can be non-notable while some of the shows they produce are notable (i.e. the shows received significant coverage without any mention or just passing mentions of the company). It's worth noting that the first sentence of WP:NCORP states "This page is to help determine whether an organization (commercial or otherwise), or any of its products and services, is a valid subject for a separate Wikipedia article dedicated solely to that organization, product, or service." which clearly differentiates between the company and its products. There is also a section of NCORP called WP:INHERITORG which states that "The organization or corporation itself must have been discussed in reliable independent sources for it to be considered notable" as opposed to significant coverage received by the products produced by the organization or corporation. Perhaps a separate Wikipedia page is appropriate for one of the podcasts rather than the company. TipsyElephant (talk) 17:45, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
