[edit] Cherry Cola Studios

Supposedly A lesser known of the large film studios. I can't make sense of it, but unknown to google spells hoax to me. --JJay 00:43, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. --JJay 00:43, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Given the info from Cman below, the page may now be a speedy delete as an attack and/or vandalism. Consensus has also been reached so going the five days may not be worthwhile. The problem is that the article is likely to pop up again. Admins? --JJay 20:56, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Hold on...Before deleting, may be worth some investigation, such as looking through a book on history of film-making or something more formal than a google search. Article poorly written, but fixable if can be verified as a real studio.—Gaff ταλκ 01:57, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Well there are no hits either through print.google.com, Amazon text search, or the NY Times and LA Times archives. A bit strange for a film studio. Also strange that no location was provided by the author. --JJay 02:20, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Well, if we are doing to depend on what verifiablity can be found from internet sites, without digging through archives from libraries, etc (which should probably be the responsibility of the submitter of the article), then by all means...delete.—Gaff ταλκ 07:13, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as unverifiable as per JJay. The article claims "The studio lot was built in the 1920's and was one of the first active film studios. It had a diffrent name them but the lot was the site of some of America's most treasured early films. After the great depression, the studio closed." If the studios had a different name when it was supposedly most notable, that is the name we should use if it is verifiable. Further, the article does not state any films, actors or directors associated with the studio at that time so it would very hard to confirm in any case.

  • Delete as hoax or at best unverifiable. --Metropolitan90 04:39, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. *drew 09:34, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete for reasons as per Capitalistroadster - good application of the 'Duck Test'. Eddie.willers 12:00, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax on grounds that if this - "the largest square feet of studio space on the east coast" were true it would be verifiable. Plus claims to have had related items on Ebay, which would surely show up in Google. Rd232 talk 12:05, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, unverifiable. Ebay items should Google. Also, even 1920s studios have films in the IMDB. The fact it doesn't Google tells me it doesn't exist. IMDB would have it listed if it made even a minor film. - Mgm|(talk) 14:25, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete extremely wierd hoax article. Since much of the article deals with supposed Cherry Cola Studio shirts, and even specifically states that the shirts are valuable, this article may exist to support a collectables scam of some sort. Note also that a movie studio being called "Cherry Cola" in the 20s simply doesn't ring true. Cherry Coke is from the mid-80s, and studios from that era simply weren't named things like that. Though I'd genuinely like to know what the deal behind this article is, it's zero-Google level shows it's a hoax as written, so it must go. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:15, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm a huge film buff and I've never heard of this place, plus I agree it is unverifiable, and lack of reference in the IMDb is the key here. I agree that the Google Test is not the be all and end all for either proving notability or existence, but odds are someone would have posted something about this place, considering the article claims it was active in the 1990s. Also, unless the Coca-Cola Company owns it, odds are such a place wouldn't be allowed to have the name "Cherry Cola" anyway since that's a registered trademark for Coke. 23skidoo 23:17, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. It is, as Gaff says, reasonable to expect the submitter to cite whatever references they're working from. No cited references + no Google results = non-verifiable. — Haeleth Talk 23:19, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, unsourced, unverifiable, probable hoax. No supporting facts (places, dates, films). MCB 18:03, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete,I can put an end to this discussion. This article is blatenly wrong. We were alerted that this type of thing may happen. Flyers have been showing up at local universities claiming to have "Origional Cherry Cola Studios Clothing" and they they will be avliable online. They aslo tell the same basic story as the article. A google brought us here. I sm co-owner of Cherry Cola Studios. (yes Virginia, there is a Cherry Cola Studios) Let me set this article straight. First - we dont make films and never have, Our business is to rent out high end video equipment mostly to local film students. We are a small A/V supply company, We do not create sets nor do we have uniforms and we do not provide crews of any kind. The building we are in was built in the late 1970's at the earliest and was a warehouse before we moved in. As far as we know, *no* films have ever been shot here. Also, we do not have a "gift shop" nor do we give tours They would be very short (Here is the office, here is the storage room, thanks for comming) We do not make clothes nor sell them and never have. Nor do we intend to. Also, Ebay has been notified that this most likely is some attempt to gather value for some worthless t-shirts by some college kid. We have not been in business since 1980 or whatever it said. We have been around just over three years. Please delete this article as it is not even *remoetly* acurate nor was it created or authorized by us. If you see an offer for cherry cola clothing on an auction site, please report it to the auction company. I hope this clears things up. BTW Skidoo... The Term "Cherry Cola" is not a trademark of Coke, but you were prob thinking of their trademark on "Cherry Coke" We apoligize for the inconvienence and we already have a lead on who the t-shirt pusher is. This article should be deleted without question. Thank you. Cman 24:22, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete (or maybe speedy) per Cman. Barno 18:13, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, no sources cited or supporting facts. See Wikipedia:No_original_research and Wikipedia:Verifiability. --BenjaminTsai 23:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
