Can peoples names not be a Production Company?
When you have a credit like this

Does this credit refer to individuals and therefor not entered into Profiler or is it a production company and entered into that field.

It all depends on whether you can find out if this production was made before or after the company was formed. Do you have any dates?

Edit: according to that Wiki page the company was formed in 1976, so I'd say any production made after then would have it as a company credit rather than the names.

I agree with North, just make sure you use the proper, complete, company name.

It's actually someone else's contribution that was getting allot of NO votes stating that the credit was for individuals and not a Production Company

I think most of the no voters (myself included) were questioning the unsubstantiated statement that Davis/Panzer Productions is a company and not just a couple guys.  The name as submitted (actually just resubmitted without any documentation change) doesn't match what Wikipedia shows or the reference footnote Wiki uses.

So even if it is a company i haven't seen proof the name is correct.

There is nothing in that credit that indicates it is a Company any way.So without documemtation I would say the No votes are fully justified. That credit could be almost anything.

As far as I can tell Davis · Panzer Productions Inc. is a valid production company.

In my opinion....

"A Davis/Panzer Production" is not a company.

However, "Davis/Panzer Productions" would be a company.

It's all in the wording. The first infers two guys, the second infers a company.

So you think if it was a company it should have said "A Davis/Panzer Productions Production"...?

Actually, this is fairly common.  The most famous production company, that does this, is 'Cruise/Wagner'.  I don't know why they do it this way, but it is the way some companies have chosen to have their production companies credited.
