Girls Gone By Publishers

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Not clear how this meets Notability (organizations and companies). Lacks significant coverage in 3rd party sources. Included references are largely to fan websites. Zero google news hits on the title. Not finding much beyond the "Books Monthly" references provided. RadioFan (talk) 12:27, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment - I agree it does not meet the test of WP:ORG or WP:GNG, however for a publisher of this type it would seem hard to. On the other hand it looks like they publish books written by at least a dozen notable authors - hard one this. Codf1977 (talk) 18:02, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment A publisher like this should be easier to meet guidelines as they are working in a niche and would likely be in a position to be the subject of some coverage, more so than another publisher of similar size that isn't in such a niche. I'm just not finding any of that kind of coverage.  So many google hits are blogs and message boards of fans of these authors that its hard to see how it might meet WP:CORP or WP:GNG.--RadioFan (talk) 18:36, 29 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. I was surprised to find it does seem to meet the WP:GNG (did you forget the look at the News archive...?):. There's enough for a passable stub; the directory of their books needs removing. Fences  &amp;  Windows  00:36, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
