Don't delete this page; it's been up since 2006 and refers to a company that produces two spinoff audio series which are fairly well known in the Doctor Who fan world, having been written for by such writers as Daniel O'Mahony, Lawrence Miles and Chris Boucher. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dayofthetriffids (talk • contribs) 17:25, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

You could remove the prod tag yourself. However, I would just nominate it for deletion afterwards. Can you produce independent, reliable sources about this company? If so, I would drop it. Mangojuice^talk 01:47, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, expanded article and added nine outside references to it-- reckon this is enough? Dayofthetriffids (talk) 13:11, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

No. I'm not too confident that any of those are really reliable sources, but in any case, all they do (apart from the official website) is mention that one work or another is a production of Magic Bullet. What we need here is sources that actually discuss the production company at least in some detail. This seems to indicate that the works are notable but the company is not, which is as I suspected.

But BBV, the other independent spinoff audio company, has no references on its page at all, and all that page does is discuss its works-- why haven't you marked that one for deletion then? Dayofthetriffids (talk) 13:27, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, that's not true: some of the articles linked to are reviews on well known Doctor Who and Blake's 7 fan sites, indicating that the company has an impact. Dayofthetriffids (talk) 13:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

As for BBV -- see WP:WAX -- just because I didn't mark that one doesn't mean it's legitimate. Now that I've looked at it, I think BBV is more likely to have real notability -- they've worked with the BBC and have been making their productions for over 15 years, and they're actual video, not just audio. Anyway, it's clear that you disagree about deletion, so I'm going to move this to WP:AFD. Mangojuice^talk 13:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

And, fan sites are actually considered less reliable than independent sites. Mangojuice^talk 13:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
