Ownership of Beacon Pictures[edit]

Moved from User talk:Robsinden § Beacon Pictures

Beacon Pictures is not owned by Armyan Bernstein, Marc Abraham and Tom Rosenberg as User:Debresser is trying to assert, based on a 21 year old press snippet. See this link from 2003: "Beacon was resurrected by Bernstein and Charlie Lyons last year after Beacon Communications - which Bernstein ran with Marc Abraham - dissolved and Abraham left to found Universal-based Strike Entertainment.". Although even a 12 year old article is also probably too old to establish current ownership, maybe there is other information from this article that could be used to flesh out this article. --Rob Sinden (talk) 08:29, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion was opened at User talk:Robsinden#Beacon Pictures, and I replied to your arguments there. Please keep discussion centralized. If you prefer to have it here, feel free to simply move the section from your talkpage here. Debresser (talk) 22:19, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I won't slap an experienced editor in the fact with a boilerplate from WP:UWT, but I think it is about time to remind you of WP:OWN. Please do not undo other editors' edits, including mine, to this article unless they are really in violation of Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Debresser (talk) 22:09, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If there's any ownership here, it's yours. It seems like you're trying to prove a point about Marc Abraham because of my removal of the Beacon Pictures link from his navbox, but I'm afraid that a tiny press snippet from 21 years ago does not establish current ownership, especially as Abraham has clearly moved on since then, even if he was once an owner (~~a fact that I am sceptical about anyway - other sources would suggest that he was just a producer that worked for/with Beacon Pictures~~). --Rob Sinden (talk) 08:14, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I am trying to establish a connection between Beacon and Abraham. And yes, the reason I started to look into that connection is because you implied the opposite when you removed Beacon from Abraham's template.

There is nothing in Wikipedia's reliable sources guideline that disqualifies a 21 year old statement. On the other hand, the statement you bring above does shed serious doubt on the statement from the LA Times.

Your removal of a sourced statement, based on a what seems like a contradiction from another source, was hasty, and supports my accusation of WP:OWN. Editors who don't have WP:OWN or WP:POV issues don't just remove sourced statements. Even if only out of respect for my efforts, as your fellow editor, you should have first discussed it on the talkpage or here.

In view of the valid objection you raise above based on another source, I think we now need to remove "formerly Beacon Communications, LLC" from the lead sentence, since it is not a rename, but the previous company was dissolved and Beacon Pictures is a new company with changed ownership.
