Good Books International

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

A non-notable charitable book-selling website that appears to have closed down in 2016 or thereabouts. The sources cited in the article are largely blogs and there aren't any reliable secondary sources (noting that some of the links are dead, but I have checked archived versions). Its advertisements won awards. A WP:BEFORE search has not identified any additional reliable secondary sources (although admittedly it's tricky to search for a company called "Good Books International"; I've tried various search term combos including with Oxfam and the creator Jane Cherrington). I did find an article on The Big Idea which reads like a press release but that's about it. I also found another link which seemed promotional, and including it in the text prevented me from actually putting the AfD through Twinkle (as it appears on the WP:BLACKLIST), so evidently that isn't any help. All up, the article doesn't seem to meet the WP:GNG threshold, nor WP:SIRS. Chocmilk03 (talk) 21:37, 3 November 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Comment: Also should note that the Good Books bookstore in Wellington appears to be unrelated to the Good Books International organisation. Chocmilk03 (talk) 01:13, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete - Per nom, does meet WP:GNG or WP:NCORP. Sources are poor such as blogs, promotional or industry sites and/or interviewers.  S0091 (talk) 17:43, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
