• Keep. Comprehensive sources are not easy to find and piecing this company's history together will take work, but this was an important Hollywood company for many decades. The 2009 Variety article already cited gives some background, and here's some samples of stuff findable on Google: A 1997 Los Angeles Daily News article calls it "Hollywood's oldest post-production operation".[http://www.thefreelibrary.com/PACIFIC+TITLE+TO+BE+SOLD%3b+2+FIRMS+TO+TAKE+OVER+SPECIAL+EFFECTS+HOUSE.-a083888251] There are multiple sources about its early days under Leon Schlesinger[http://www.google.com/search?q=%22pacific+title%22+schlesinger&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#hl=en&ds=bo&sugexp=ldymls&pq=%22pacific%20title%22%20%20oldest&xhr=t&q=%22pacific+title%22++schlesinger&cp=28&qe=InBhY2lmaWMgdGl0bGUiICBzY2hsZXNpbmdlcg&qesig=oNW60zsp-wowlunb68PMzg&pkc=AFgZ2tn1F7XEut0cNWMmhSEv9Jxr5Ch1bzXyQ4zmxVirXAIup5wQ1zvfJaKnHqCb1sjRPPA9N-5sK1eRiYK8tO8YDLyHk7YaEg&pf=p&sclient=psy&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&biw=1280&bih=607&tbm=bks&source=hp&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=%22pacific+title%22++schlesinger&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=6ac9f9ba0c92d455] and here is a 1964 LIFE article confirming that Pacific was still making "the bulk of Hollywood's titles" at that point.

• Keep. Reference added. More are available. Bad nomination (see creator's talk page): call for WP:SNOW. Drmies (talk) 04:20, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

:Comment Indeed a bad nomination, it seems there were no attempt to find reliable sources prior to nomination. Nimuaq (talk) 14:41, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

:Comment In addition to this article, I also think neither of these nominations by the user support WP:DEL#REASON:

• Keep. A firm that's been in existence for 90 years, successfully navigated a technological change that made its original product line obsolete, and that's been credited for the production of dozens of culturally significant Hollywood films has earned a place in an encyclopedia. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 19:03, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep and close Nominator appears to have a misunderstanding of WP:DEL#REASON, WP:GNG and WP:NTEMP. Even the most minimal of WP:BEFORE finds in [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?&as_src=-newswire+-wire+-presswire+-PR+-release+-wikipedia&q=%22Pacific+Title+and+Art%22 news] [http://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=%22Pacific+Title+and+Art%22 books] and [http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22Pacific+Title+and+Art%22 schoar] the coverage the nominator claims does not exist.
