See the discussion at Talk:Dreamseed as this article was created in relative to it.

"This article is an attempt to help Wikipedia build a comprehensive and detailed article base on the entertainment genre and artform of audio theatre. Dreamseed is one of the very rare (professional, not amateur) audio theatre production companies creating new content, like Big Finish Productions and should be here under the context of audio theatre. I have listened to their work and it is professional. The information I put to this article was based on the press coverage they had recently and information on their official website. I am an audio theatre collector and enthusiast."

For example, Big Finish Productions has profile pages on Wikipedia for their significant staff (see Jason_Haigh-Ellery or Gary Russell or Nicholas Briggs or Alan Barnes(writer)). I was only following suit.

I can't comment on the notability of those articles. In general, the argument that similar articles exist elsewhere on Wikipedia carries no weight; the proper response is to ask for those articles to be deleted rather than adding more of the same.

As noted on the other article, you need to provide references to reliable sources to prove the notability of this subject. --Ideogram 19:26, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that feedback. I wouldn't want to request the deletion of those other articles about other people either, because I find them informative and useful as an audio theatre enthusiast interested in who is actually producing new audio theatre today. The creation of the Davis article is meant to gain an understanding or at least establish information about the person running Dreamseed. He was recently featured in a newspaper article, which has been scanned and archived at Dreamseed's site: http://www.dreamseed.us/images/presscoverage-2007-01-25-dailystandard-celina-ohio.jpg

And here is the newspaper's online counterpart, where you can also see the article: http://dailystandard.com/archive/story_single.php?rec_id=1995

Thanks for helping me understand how to properly set up these articles. I hope they do not get deleted, because I find the subject of audio theatre very interesting and would like to learn more. Additionally, I would like to help others learn more.

We do appreciate and welcome your attempts to make Wikipedia more informative. From my perspective, audio theatre is clearly notable, while companies making audio theatre are borderline, and staff of companies making audio theatre is tenuous indeed. --Ideogram 19:37, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I respect your decision, however I want to note that I, as someone keenly interested in this subject, would obviously disagree and request what may be needed to make this article come back from deletion sometime? Thanks. Atlas777 19:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
