Size is fine, date is fine, inline citations are used and hook is short & sourced. AGF on Indonesian sources. I'm worried about the notability of the topic, because only two sources are used in the whole article. Mohamed CJ (talk) 12:13, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

There's also this as well as mentions in several publications (some English, some not). I didn't include any because the book I used has most of it. Considering at least 4 or 5 of the films are notable on their own right, I'd expect this to be notable enough. Also, we should note that most of the coverage of the studio would have been from the 1920s to 1940s... a period for which all newspapers and publications in Indonesia are not represented online, and most of which may not even have extant copies. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:27, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Using some of the sources you didn't include should make notability clearer, and I'm sure you know notability is not inherited. Mohamed CJ (talk) 13:04, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

It's certainly a consideration, especially with older topics — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:23, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Article now has five sources and 22 footnotes. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:34, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Good to go. Mohamed CJ (talk) 14:29, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
