Procedural nomination as I found this while patrolling PROD proposed deletions. An earlier incarnation of the article has previously been speedily deleted, and deleted at AfD.

The article was proposed for deletion by User:Adamant1.

 * Delete as failing both the general notability guideline and the one for companies. I can barely find anything independent, let alone reliable, discussing the subject. Glades12 (talk) 16:39, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Full disclosure: I created the current article, but I wasn't involved at all in the earlier deleted version (which looks promotional to me). The AfD discussion for the earlier version was in January 2008 -- more than 12 years ago -- and notability had changed significantly. Academic publishing might be niche, but the company has become well known and has received substantial coverage in the last 3 or 4 years. Even the template quick links offer articles from Inside Higher Ed, Nature (journal), Techdirt, and the state of São Paulo. I would suggest further editing and tagging.

 * Delete Doesn't seem notable. The Nature article doesn't even talk about the company except for a quick mention that's only semi-relevant and that's the only source that might be worth it, but a single reliable source isn't enough anyway. It definitely doesn't have "substantial coverage." At least not from doing a Google search. The only thing that did come up besides social media and Wiki type site links was a couple of PR releases masquerading as news. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:13, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete no notability. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:12, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I am not seeing any in-depth coverage, few mentions of passing about its activities is not enough per NCOMPANY. Mention in Nature here "large editing companies such as American Journal Experts (AJE)" is a nice description but is, well, hardly in-depth. Voting weak as I find articles about publishers  useful, but WP:ITSUSEFUL is not an accepted argument, and I have nothing else to thow for the keep side, so...--<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  21:18, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
