Begell House

 * – ( View AfD View log )

publisher of questionable notability, article created by blatantly COI account. Wuh Wuz  Dat  18:26, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Publisher of several notable journals. Article is not spammy and I have edited it to remove any POV. --Crusio (talk) 18:42, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment This argument stands or falls on the proposition that the articles relating to the journals created are indeed notable; they themselves are being considered at AfD simultaneously. As  I have !voted there I will not do so here.--Anthony Bradbury"talk"  22:07, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment At least 2 of those journals have sizeable impact factors and at least one of them is indexed in MEDLINE, so their notability is not in doubt. --Crusio (talk) 23:18, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete No significant, secondary source coverage of company. It therefore fails WP:ORG. It may or may not publish notable journals but the fact remains that it itself as an entity is not notable. Jay-Sebastos (talk) 07:13, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Eleven Begell journals were listed in the ISI Journal Citation Reports for 2009. That confirms for me that this is a legitimate publisher of scientific journals, albeit a very minor one. I've also found some Begell technical reference books cited in other better-known technical reference books. --Orlady (talk) 18:52, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete as per Wuhwuzdat (I nominated it for deletion earlier). --Breawycker (talk to me!) Review Me! 20:51, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Orlady. Fotaun (talk) 17:18, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Crusio. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 01:07, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Orlady. We have a similar article for Hindawi Publishing Corporation. Nothing wrong with have these. The Begell House one should include a list of their more notable journals. Tijfo098 (talk) 10:10, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
