Non noable company. Originally PROD'd but the page was updated. It's still only a few sentences and other than some promotional text, it's claim to notability is being involved in the distribution... of several blockbuster films.... Dusti ^{*Let's talk!*} 00:10, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - negligible claims to notability. . . Mean as custard (talk) 09:14, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Objection to delete consideration This article has been edited to address all concerns about authenticity. Filmone is a renowned film distribution company in Nigeria, and can be verified by any standard. Citations from reliable and notable sources, (independent of the article) has been done. Editing of this article will continue in adherence to Wikipedia's policies. I hereby request that this discussion page be closed. — Preceding Jude martins comment added by Jude Martins (talk • contribs) 11:48, 4 April 2019 (UTC) — Jude Martins (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete - Even with the recent edits, the subject still does not pass WP:GNG. I can find no notable sources referencing FilmOne, and I'm not sure the ones currently included pass muster. Skirts⁸⁹ 13:19, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I disagree with the view that the subject does not pass WP:GNG. The sources cited - BBC and CEAN can be classified as secondary sources, independent, notable and reliable, and have directly identified FilmOne through their publications. Deleting this subject strips Wikipedia of the ability to be an adequate source of information regarding principal players in the Nigerian film industry - an industry that is globally recognized as emerging and evolving.ContentBI —Preceding undated comment added 12:51, 5 April 2019 (UTC) — ContentBI (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep - Again I disagree with QuiteUnusual. The following paragraphs quoted in the article posted by BBC directly refers to Filmone as distributors of the award winning film;

*"In a joint statement, the film's producers and distributor - Shareman Media and FilmOne Distribution - thanked Nigerians for their "patience and support".

"Half of a Yellow Sun is now set to strike a special chord with every Nigerian," they said.

In June, FilmOne Distribution said it had met members of the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to explain the financial consequences of making edits.

"Nevertheless, FilmOne presented to the Board edited scenes in accordance with the Board's requirement. The Board watched these edited scenes and expressed their satisfaction with the edits," their statement said.",

' Also, a citation on PULSE TV's post verifies that FilmOne have been West African partners to 20th Century Fox., a feat that identifies them as major players in the region's film industry, and thus should be identified as a subject.ContentBI —Preceding undated comment added 07:54, 8 April 2019 (UTC) — ContentBI (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete. Fails GNG. The use of secondary sources, noted above, is irrelevant because these are just passing references to the company - the article is not about the company and does nothing to establish its notability anymore than this article makes Will Snider notable.
