Filmnet

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No references provided; the hits I find on Google News searches aren't in English, so no way to be easily referenced; from what I can gather, each reference seems to be about the purchase of some part of the company to be transferred into the successor companies (i.e., it seems like the company is only notable in that it is the predecessor to other companies). All relevant content (assuming it can be sourced) should be added to the articles of the companies that this was split apart into. Qwyrxian (talk) 13:13, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A pioneer European pay TV venture seems like a notable topic to me, and there are buckets of potential sources for this: Google Books has more than 150 hits for "Filmnet". I didn't look at them all, and I wouldn't be surprised if many of these turn out to be trivial or about other subjects, but the first few pages of results turn up a lot of material, including this succinct history of the company in Scandinavia[1] and many other mentions of the company in different markets.--Arxiloxos (talk) 23:29, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw. I always forget to check in books...I'm going to instead add a noref tag to the article, and add it to my long list of "projects to work on if I ever get around to it." I glanced at a few of the "books"--not all rise to the level of WP:RS, but it appears that one or two do, so I'm willing to believe that this subject can probably be found notable. I think I got a little trigger happy last night after seeing the Filmnet (website) article... Qwyrxian (talk) 00:13, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and close per nominator's reasoned withdrawal. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:51, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
