 * Keep I was the creator of the page and for full disclosure am also a director in the company. We would argue the company is notable, as evidenced by the following articles: in the Guardian, in BA magazine, in The Memo, in TeleRead,on writing.ie, in Publishers Weekly, and many more.

Each of the three founders, myself included, have been featured as 'Rising Stars' of the publishing industry by The Bookseller, the prominent trade magazine (link to this year's list). The company's Publishing Director was invited to give the keynote address at this year's International Digital Publishing Forum at BookExpo America, the largest book fair in the US, and in the Publishers Forum, Berlin demonstrating international interest (link). The company is notable as it is a digital-only publisher put together by prominent figures from the traditional publishing industry, for its ambition to become Europe's best digital publisher, and for the higher royalty rates it offers its authors. Our first books are released over the summer of 2015 and will include titles from notable authors, such as Martin Davies. Hope this helps. Happy to discuss further, as only want to enhance the site, and am not an experienced wikipedia editor. iainmillar18 (talk) 08:01, 16 June 2015


 * Delete Some new publishing ventures excite the industry and get news coverage. This one hasn't. E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:17, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete for now with no possible target for moving elsewhere - The non-notability is obvious considering the 2015 foundation but I searched and the best I found were various links (nothing significant though). SwisterTwister   talk  04:37, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Changing my !Vote because I was wrong. Canelo has exactly the sort of news coverage and buzz that a promising new publisher hopes for. That was some of the worst source-hunting I have ever done.  As pointed out above, sources are there to support a page (which needs expansion) on a new company generating coverage because the 3 principals are established professionals and the industry is taking them seriously.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:10, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 02:08, 17 June 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as WP:TOOSOON. Let's let this promising publishing house prove itself before we add it to WP. If it survives and makes an impact, then an article makes sense. Unfortunately (and I hope this isn't their fate) many new businesses with great ideas fizzle early in their days. A WP article should be reserved for a company that has already made a difference, not one that might in the future. LaMona (talk) 06:18, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep This articleWebCite from The Memo provides substantial coverage of the subject. The Memo has editorial oversight (see http://www.thememo.com/our-team/WebCite). For example: "Alex Wood Editor in Chief of The Memo. Alex is also a regular contributor to The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, CNN, CNBC and is a visiting lecturer at City University London." This articleWebCite from Writing.ie also provides substantial coverage of the subject. Writing.ie has editorial oversight (see http://www.writing.ie/about/WebCite). This articleWebCite from TeleRead discusses Canelo's formation. TeleRead has editorial oversight (see http://www.teleread.com/faqs/WebCite. There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Canelo to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
