Per WP:CORP, I cannot find any reliable secondary sources that demonstrate this publisher's notability. Skinwalker 16:08, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - main contributor seems to have a CoI. I can't find a lot of references to their "scientific homeopathic journal" either: 7 citations in Google Scholar for a journal that has been issued for tens of years. Han-Kwang 17:25, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No credible assertion of notability. Shalom Hello 17:53, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Look at Skinwalker's edit history. He loves to go around tagging anything about homeopathy for afd.  The article itself is a stub about an Indian publishing company.  It is pretty comparable in content to other stubs about other publishing companies.  Why is Skinwalker not tagging these other articles?  B Jain is probably the worlds biggest publisher of homeopathic literature.  The company deserves a little stub in Wikipedia, why not?  This is pure and simple a bad faith nom, and ideologically motivated AFDs like this only weaken Wikipedia.  Abridged talk 03:58, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to respond to this editor's personal attack, other than to say that Wikipedia has far too many pages on completely non-notable pseudoscientific figures and companies. AFDs like this tend to bring out the partisans and "true-believers".  Cheers, Skinwalker 12:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * My edit history shows clearly that I am NOT a "true believer", but have been a balanced editor. I explained above why I felt this stub deserves to be in wikipedia. This AFD has brought out a partisan and a true believer, and that, my friend, is you!  You would increase your credibilty if you AFDed something that didn't have to do with homeopathy!

 * Keep a modest article about a specialized company--but there should be at least one other source; this should be possible, there must have been references in the homeopathy journals. DGG
 * Delete Fails WP:CORP requirement, that "A company, corporation, organization, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of secondary sources." Article can be recreated if & when such sources are found. Abecedare 21:01, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CORP. --Ragib 21:27, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete until sources are found and it satisfies WP:CORP. GizzaDiscuss  &#169; 22:32, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete while it is possible for a family owned and managed company  to be notable, those are the exception---as a general rule, it is a clear indicator that thsi doesn't meet CORPBalloonman 05:22, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
