After some serious debate, I'm listing this page for deletion. I can't find anything to show that this company is ultimately notable enough for its own entry. The company won an award for their Mark of Uru ([1]) but I have to honestly ask how notable the award is when there's little to no coverage for this award or for TTE winning it. There are plenty of press releases out there and re-phrasing of an article by Africa Good News (who does have an editorial board but also solicits work from anyone who wants to submit a piece), but little else out there that actually gives in-depth coverage of the company or the award win. The notability of the award is also in question, as I'm unsure as to whether it can really give notability at all. It's pretty undeniable that it's not the type of award that would give absolute notability, meaning that we'd keep on that basis alone. I really don't think that this company passes WP:CORP at this point in time. I really did try to find sources, but they just don't seem to be out there.

Delete. A cursory read of the refs would give the impression of notability, however i read them a second time and agree with the nom. Theres nothing reliable here. Szzuk (talk) 21:48, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Do not delete. Do your research about TransTales Entertainment multiple award winning company and the biggest African animation company.

I did find that article, but I can't find where that award is so notable that it'd merit a keep on that basis alone. There really isn't much out there for the company. Also, we don't keep articles because WP:ITSUSEFUL or anything that derives from that. I do think that you are a representative for the company or someone that is involved in its promotion, so your best bet at this point in time is to try to see if any of the news outlets such as Variety, Twitch Film, or any of the places we consider to be a RS would cover the company.

You already posted that Variety article. We need more than that to show notability- we need a lot of coverage to show notability. The YouTube video is WP:PRIMARY and can't show notability. There are other issues with YT as a source, but this is pretty much unusable since it's from the company. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:04, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The very brief mention in Variety and the YouTube video by the company itself are not enough to establish notability/pass wp:corp. A search for other sources comes up with nothing that would make it pass wp:corp. $Erebus Morgaine (Talk)$ 06:16, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
