Delete for lack of substantive coverage, much less significant coverage. Fails
WP:GNG and fails
WP:CORP. It does not even get close to fulfillig
WP:CORPDEPTH. Their main claim to fame is as the production company for
500 Years Later, a film which won awards at several minor film festivals, no major awards. Coverage of Halaqah Media includes the usual wikipedia mirros, twitter, facebook, youtube and the like, spot advertisements, their own and related websites, like the websites of the films they have produced, sales sites like
this one, and directory sites like
ukscreen,
ovguide and
discogs. There seems to be no substantive indepedent coverage in reliable secondary sources. Other coverage just mentions Halaquah Media in passing as the producer when mentioning one of their films or audio recordings. (Examples:
here,
here and
here.) Their films have not received much coverage. None of the hits in Google books do more than mention Halaqah Media in passing when citing one of their films. Many of the Google book hits don't even contain mention of Halaqah Media, such as
Perished Nations, due to Google's automatic synonym and related terms add-ins. The article cites only their own website (three times), and the related websites of two of their films. The article was created by an IP editor in November 2005 apparently as a promotional piece, much of the promo has been removed, their sales site is still in "External links". Halaqah Media founded the non-profit "African Holocaust Society" as their educational research wing, and
afrikanholocaust.com and
africanholocaust.net are related sites that promote their films and
ideology. --

Delete, basically per nom. I can't find any significant coverage of this production company in reliable sources.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, --

Delete and BTW
Bejnar cheers for the detailed nomination (this is something I would even make myself at Afd)
and there's simply no obvious improvement to this currently unacceptable article.
