[edit]This article is quite similar to an advertisemnt, especially in the products section. Is it really necessary to describe all of them, and going into the categories so in detail? --Cantalamessa 09:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Gone. What do they make? Fixing the list would have been better than deleting it.Telecine Guy (talk) 17:08, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Gv brand.png
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Gv brand.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

More History
[edit]History is rather thin. I would like to add more history spanning 1984 - 1999.
At the time (1984) GVG built the world's largest switcher for NASA's Kennedy Space Center, then later for CBS in their NYC studios. I'd say that would be notable, eh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattbratt (talk • contribs) 15:04, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Thomson Grass Valley → Grass Valley —| relisting billinghurst sDrewth 14:33, 27 July 2010 (UTC) | 74.95.46.250 (talk) 22:19, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Grass Valley is not available, as it is a disambiguation page. Better to move this back to Grass Valley (company), which is where it was before it was moved to Thomson Grass Valley. The company do not use Thomson in the name on their website. Skinsmoke (talk) 23:10, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
I don't think they are a French based company anymore then(?) They would beheadquartered out of California now, wouldn't they?
Requested move 2011

The result of the proposal was Moved to company's apparent current name. DMacks (talk) 07:05, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Thomson Grass Valley → Grass Valley (company) — The company has been sold, it no longer uses Thomson. Legally, it is Grass Valley USA, LLC, but it use the Grass Valley trademark and name for branding. The headquarters is moving to San Francisco, CA.--74.95.46.250 (talk) 00:57, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose: Premature at least, see WP:official names. Andrewa (talk) 01:17, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- I don't understand your point. Of course, we are not obliged to use "official names" if there's a common name that is widely used, but I can't see any evidence that the company is currently widely known as "Thomson Grass Valley". Can you provide any such evidence? Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 09:10, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- The onus of proof is on those who wish to move the article to show that the name has changed in common usage. It may have, but it's unlikely so soon after the legal name change. The rationale above provides no valid reason for the move. Andrewa (talk) 19:45, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

- Support - seems fairly clear from a quick Google search that Thomson is no longer associated with the company, and is not mentioned on its website. — Amakuru (talk) 09:06, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- Comment: Interesting, but not very relevant (depending on exactly what Google search you did and what it returned). Please see WP:NC. No change of vote. Andrewa (talk) 19:47, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- Support I don't see any evidence that this company is still commonly called Thomson Grass Valley, so let's go with the official name.TheFreeloader (talk) 18:24, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Notability
[edit]What makes this company notable? Article is a series of routine business transactions.Slywriter (talk) 21:55, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- At the (very) old AfD, there's a claim that "Grass Valley Group virtually invented digital video effects", and further up this page someone says they "built the world's largest switcher for NASA's Kennedy Space Center, then later for CBS". The article basically has nothing about all this, though. 199.208.172.35 (talk) 22:18, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
