The result was keep & move. Consensus is clear, but has more to do with cameras than the company's notability. No prejudice against speedy renomination if anyone is still unsatisfied with the notability evidence. czar ⨹ 20:07, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Article has a number of issues and I could not find any reliable sources or evidence of notability. StewdioMACK (talk) 13:12, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
:Comment :ja:日本電産サンキョー seems to be what this is trying to be about. Search also "Nidec Sankyo Corporation", the official name of the company. Possibly notable one way or another seeing the company has decades of history under its belt, but "making the film for a (notable?) movie" won't be it. WP:TNT not opposed. 野狼院ひさし Hisashi Yarouin 15:57, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

DeleteMove: The German, Italian, and Japanese pages all say different things, but none suggest this company (assuming it is the same company) makes cameras. Imaginatorium (talk) 06:51, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
::The Japanese article does say they made cameras: 「オルゴールと並ぶ民生用製品として、8ミリフィルムカメラおよび映写機を、Sankyoブランドで1957~1981年に製造販売した。オルゴールの加工技術から小型モーター、磁気ヘッド、光ピックアップ、カードリーダー等へ展開。数々のトップシェア製品を持つ。」 Dekimasuよ! 07:22, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
:::Beg your pardon, so it does. Not that this makes them anything you could really describe as a "camera company". Perhaps it should just be moved to a stub for "Nidec Sankyo Corporation"? Imaginatorium (talk) 07:48, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

- Move: I have just re-written the article to be more representative of the company as something other than their previous activity as a camera manufacturer. (Cameras aren't mentioned in the list of products at their [http://www.nidec-sankyo.co.jp/english/corporate/product.html website] anymore). Can the page be moved to Nidec Sankyo? If my changes have not been enough to save it this far, please let me know what else is required. I know that quotes from the company's own website are not ideal, but I believe it is reliable for basic data.AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 13:53, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- Keep and move to Nidec Sankyo following the commendable cleanup and rewrite by Athomeinkobe. Now appears to be an acceptable stub article. --DAJF (talk) 14:13, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
