Aliquando Press

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:NORG failure. The 6 six citations are actually from 3 sources, which are primarily about its founder. Possible WP:COATRACK to promote the founder. Mr. Guye (talk) 00:59, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep, as a combo article about the press and its founder. The founder is a book design artist, in effect, and the press is the result of his work.  The first reference is a writeup (by a librarian perhaps?) at Massey College in Canada, and appears to be independent and factual.  I see no reason to question this.  The article should be revised to characterize this more clearly as an ongoing art project and its main artist. -- do  ncr  am  02:41, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment, rather then WP:NORG applying, this looks more like WP:CREATIVE, which it would pass, with Rueter receiving the Robert R. Reid Award, so suggest Move to article called William Rueter. ps. he is also mentioned in a number of wikiarticles for stamp design - Emily Carr, J. E. H. MacDonald, Paul Kane, and an article reference so there appears to be lots of info out there. Coolabahapple (talk) 05:03, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, I just did a ProQuest "Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies" search — and between hits on "Aliquando Press", hits on "William Rueter" and hits on "Will Rueter", there is enough reliable source coverage available to get this out of the weeds. And that's just in a database that only goes back to 1979 — the company was in operation for another 15+ years before that, for which I'm still going to have to hit a different database. The volume does fall short of what it would take to justify splitting them out into two separate topics, but there's absolutely enough to support this article (although I'm neutral about whether it should stay at this title or be moved to his name.) And seriously, an archival fonds at Massey College? A six-week exhibit devoted specifically to his work with this company at Queen's University? Keep, I'll take a stab at adding some more references.
