[edit] Marketspeak

This entry is somewhat promotional, specifically in the unsourced statements regarding critical acclaim and in insanely subjective declarations such as: "The future promises stellar new releases sure to appeal to both connoisseurs of superb narrative art and fans of engaging pop culture..." The information, however, deserves to appear here, it just needs to be presented more objectively. AshcroftIleum 19:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• You just beat me to the punch - here is what I was posting when you did: The whole section "A Brief History of Top Shelf Productions:" (although technically it isn't even a section) needs to be heavily rewritten (or just taken out and restarted from scratch - often the easiest route and you can then re-incorporate information from the previous version rather than just trimming out bits and rewroding others) as it sounds and looks like it came right off a press release. Things like "The future promises stellar new releases sure to appeal to both connoisseurs of superb narrative art and fans of engaging pop culture" have no place in an encyclopedia.

  • It read like advertising because it was advertising. It was a wholsesale copyright violation, by 68.219.207.51 (talk · contribs), of the copyrighted advertising blurb that is published by the company itself on its own web site. I've removed it, restoring the text prior to the copyright infringement. Uncle G 00:16, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Now we need to build it back up and address the notability concerns. (Emperor 00:26, 9 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Categories

I've started a new category for Top Shelf and there is one for the titles: Category:Top Shelf Productions titles. I'll go through and add it to some but probably am not going to be able to hit them all so go for it. (Emperor 12:24, 27 April 2007 (UTC))
