This one has been around for a while (created May 2006, last edited July 2007), but given that, it is entirely unreferenced. When I do a [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Funny-Films+Oy&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi= google search] I can find zero reliable sources about this production company. Based on that, I do not think the subject meets the minimum inclusion criteria as spelled out at WP:N. Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 04:00, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

:They do appear to be a legit production company: [http://www.imdb.com/company/co0100360/]. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 04:18, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

::I have no doubts about their existance. What I have doubts about is their notability as defined by WP:GNG or WP:CORP. We can verify the existance of millions of companies worldwide; it does not mean that reliable source material exists to support an article at Wikipedia about them. --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 04:22, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. The article may be valuable to the Finnish Wikipedia, but not notable in English. Gosox5555 (talk) 02:36, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep and get help from experts over at WP:WikiProject Finland. Not being notable to the English-speaking world does not mean it is unsuitable for en.Wikipedia, as I am encouraged to remember that it does not matter to wikipedia that it might not written up in the New York Times or Washington Post when WP:UNKNOWNHERE suggests "Wikipedia should include all notable topics, even if the subject is not notable within the English speaking population", and WP:CSB urges a wider view and acceptance that even if something is dificult to source in English. An article on [http://www.mtv3.fi/uutiset/arkisto.shtml/arkistot/mediait/2002/01/96745 MTV3] gave it coverage in 2002 and shared that it was a subsidary of Funny Films Ltd. which itself is a subsidary of [http://www.yellowfilm.fi/company/ Yellow Film & TV -Group], the biggest in its field in Finland. I do not read Finnish, and had to rely on Google Translate for even that. However, I can reasonable accept that its Finnish notability is fine for us here too. Just needs some loving atention from Finnish-reading Wikipedians. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 04:05, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
  • I have no trouble with accepting the possibility that non-English sources could verify the notability of this company. If someone could provide those sources, I would withdraw my nomination. However, I have not seen any evidence of such sources as yet. --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 04:18, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
