:({{Find sources|Petersburg Animation Studio}})

Original article was 90% spam... Spam and CSD tag removed, which leaves a notability question. There are no sources that I can find (granted, my Russian-fu is very weak). There is a Russian Wikipedia article, :ru:Петербург (студия анимации), but the Russian article is also totally unsourced. If the Russians can't produce sources on this company, then I doubt we can...

  • Strong keep In this case, the official website is the reference. This animation studio has produced some who-is-who of Russian animation. It is notable enough for the great animations Go-Go-Riki, which received several awards.--GoPTCN 20:19, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep per the inherent vageries in trying to create and source an article on a non-English company with available sourcing to its non-English company name. I am not concerned with the article at the Russian Wikipedia being unsourced,[http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B3_(%D1%81%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B8)][http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&u=http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%25D0%259F%25D0%25B5%25D1%2582%25D0%25B5%25D1%2580%25D0%25B1%25D1%2583%25D1%2580%25D0%25B3_(%25D1%2581%25D1%2582%25D1%2583%25D0%25B4%25D0%25B8%25D1%258F_%25D0%25B0%25D0%25BD%25D0%25B8%25D0%25BC%25D0%25B0%25D1%2586%25D0%25B8%25D0%25B8)&ei=e4OTT7eBA4qviQLnq-z0Dw&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CDAQ7gEwAQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%25D0%25A1%25D1%2582%25D1%2583%25D0%25B4%25D0%25B8%25D1%258F%2B%25D0%25BA%25D0%25BE%25D0%25BC%25D0%25BF%25D1%258C%25D1%258E%25D1%2582%25D0%25B5%25D1%2580%25D0%25BD%25D0%25BE%25D0%25B9%2B%25D0%25B0%25D0%25BD%25D0%25B8%25D0%25BC%25D0%25B0%25D1%2586%25D0%25B8%25D0%25B8%2B%25C2%25AB%25D0%259F%25D0%25B5%25D1%2582%25D0%25B5%25D1%2580%25D0%25B1%25D1%2583%25D1%2580%25D0%25B3%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-us%26prmd%3Dimvns] as they do not operate by our guidelines, nor we by their's. However, in looking to OUR guidelines and considering that under its Russian name it does appear to be sourcable,[http://www.google.com/search?q=%D0%A1%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%8F+%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BF%D1%8C%D1%8E%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9+%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B8+%C2%AB%D0%9F%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B3&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1#q=%D0%A1%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%8F+%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BF%D1%8C%D1%8E%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9+%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B8+%C2%AB%D0%9F%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B3&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&tbm=nws&prmd=imvns&source=lnt&tbs=ar:1&sa=X&ei=bISTT_H9OavYiQKrke3WDw&ved=0CA4QpwUoBQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=80ef15c088075d7][http://www.google.com/search?q=%D0%A1%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%8F+%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BF%D1%8C%D1%8E%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9+%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B8+%C2%AB%D0%9F%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B3&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1] this now looks to be an adressable concern toward the unfortunate, unintentional, and recognized systemic bias. Even the google translations of the multiple Russian sources show that it has received coverage and is a recognized entity in its field... in Russia. And so even if not sourced in their article, sourable notability to Russia if fine with en.Wikiedia. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:22, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
