Flying Pen Press

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Minor print on demand publisher. Only possible claim to significance, let alone notability, is the notable authors. However, that claim is not substantial: they published only: 1 story by Bailey in an anthology;   1 anthology ed. by Brozak; 1 anthology of Danforth, and 1 of Thorne's books--alll very small portions of these author's output. Every other ref. is that they're listed in Directories, and distributed, just like any publisher notable or non-notable, by Amazon, B&N, etc.

I suppose I could have deleted as G11 promotional, but I think a decision here would help.  DGG ( talk ) 04:21, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Not really discussed to a significant extent in any RS, so all available sources are self-published, blogs, and such. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 07:35, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep I started the article and do intend to add to it. I believe it's notable as is.  If anyone can let me know on my talk page what I can do to help, I would appreciate it. ADDITION: Just to clarify, I am not an employee of nor do I have any work that has been or is scheduled to be published by the publisher.  Alden Loveshade (talk) 17:39, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as Alessandra Napolitano points out, the sources in the article are not independent, published, reliable sources that are substantially about Flying Pen Press. The only one that comes close is Publetariat.com, but this does not meet Wikipedia's standard WP:RS. Sparthorse (talk) 20:19, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
