Fails WP:NCORP, no independent reliable sources about the company. Contested PROD. shoy (reactions) 18:35, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This page is about a known brand which weekly entertains people in both the UK and Australia with numerous secondary sources, satisfying the Notability criteria. This entry does need cleaning up, but there's no reason to delete it, please read Wikipedia:Guide_to_deletion: “Before nominating a recently created article, please consider that many good articles started their Wikilife in pretty bad shape."

The entry may need tidying, but the article represents an organizing hosting traditional pub entertainment for thousands of people, with hosts noted for their roles as actors in famous TV series and films, comedians and musicians. It's very much embedded in the social lives of many, many Londoners to say the least.

This page is somewhat UK specific, but this a well known brand if you live in or around London and like going to the pub. (If you stay inside all day and poke around on facebook, you may not have heard of them:-) Tedward Barnes (talk) 10:33, 29 July 2016 (UTC)— Tedward Barnes (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Merge to Andrew Burns (actor) if that article is kept at its own AfD, otherwise delete for failing to meet our notability guidelines. The only reliable source in the article, [1], doesn't mention the company, and only mentions the quizmaster in passing. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 13:50, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- non notable topic. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:08, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: disclaimer I work for Q1, but we have 100s of news articles in the press which we're busy compiling, keep in mind this page is new. But we're an established well known entertainment company in the UK since 2003 and we employ at least a dozen actors who have their own wikipedia entires, and we have developed a new quiz format which entertains 1,000s of people on a weekly basis around the world. Is this really something you want to squash as "not notable"? Two of our former QuizMasters are named characters in Game of Thrones! Are none of you geeks? ;) " — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.5.52.119 (talk) 16:36, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
