Likely to fail WP:NCORP. No specific mentions in the listed references other than the GlobeNewswire press release. Found nothing for "Ans Production Photography" or "Ans Photography Group". Couldn't independently verify claims for "several award-winning feature-length documentaries". There's also a declined draft for the company founder Draft:Ansspvt that is sourced to sponsored/puff pieces. KH-1 (talk) 02:19, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

  @KH-1 if you please withdraw the nomination request would be great, We are working on this company notability, since this news has been in newspaper, not much in websites that's we cant see much notability but this company did work with documentaries and filmography in MA, USA 209.6.14.186 (talk) 05:40, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

We? Which group? HighKing⁺⁺ 18:30, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

• Delete, not seeing evidence of notability. None of the sources I've looked at, save for a press release, seem to mention or credit the company at all. Pure promotion. ASUKITE 04:05, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

  Hello, Ans Production Photography is famous company based in boston mass, This company is there for many years, it been in boston news papers couple of time, they might doesnt have the much news article because this company is working the news channels. 209.6.14.186 (talk) 05:37, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

  @Asukite This is not promotional or anything, This company has been working in filmgraphy. 209.6.14.186 (talk) 05:41, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

• Delete: I see this article's been deleted and returned to draftspace, but the anon IP's assertion that this company is "famous" in Boston is just plain false. A Google search for "Ans Production" specified to the Boston Globe website turns up ZERO hits. A similar search specified to the Boston Herald website turns up ZERO hits. A similar search specified to the Quincy Patriot-Ledger -- Quincy being a significant center for filming these days -- website turns up ZERO hits. What "newspaper" articles are we talking about, yellowed supermarket weeklys? Ravenswing 10:16, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
• Delete - This commercial wedding photography company does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability per WP:GNG nor WP:NCORP. A BEFORE search found social media; a search under the name of the founder, Ans Ishfaq, similarly reveals social media but no significant coverage like one would expect of a notable photography firm or a notable photographer.

• Delete, not notable. Referenced sources didn't mention the company at all or were just press releases. Article creator then added citations to spammy sites that must've been published by them. E.g. https://carlossubstain.substack.com/p/carlos was published at 21:42, 31 August 2022 and just 11 mins later added as source to the article. They broke their record later by adding a reference to a spammy piece that had existed since 4 mins only (diff: https://medium.com/@MartinCarlo/ans-production-filmography-ceb70f0b1ae7). – NJD-DE (talk) 23:54, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
• Delete I am unable to locate any sources or references that meets WP:NCORP criteria for establishing notability HighKing⁺⁺ 18:30, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
• Delete Agree that this subject does not appear to meet Wikipedia's most basic guidelines for inclusion and retention, and thus should be deleted. Beauty School Dropout (talk) 21:54, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
• Comment One of the accounts who worked on this article appears to be engaging in block evasion under at least one IP. Given the potential for socking, the deleting admin may want to consider salting. TornadoLGS (talk) 01:03, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Nevermind, I took a closer look at the time and the IP has not edited since the other account was blocked, though behavior has been disruptive. TornadoLGS (talk) 01:20, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
