Per source searches, fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Not finding any significant coverage in various searches, just name checks in search results listing it as a publisher and minor passing mentions. North America1000 09:43, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * REDIRECT Delete  -- Haworth wasn't notable in 2008. As an imprint (subsidiary) of Taylor & Francis, even less so now. If someone wants to save some text and roll it into Taylor & Francis, do it now. Rhadow (talk) 17:51, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment, so is it worth a redirect? Coolabahapple (talk) 22:47, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. It was notable in 2008,as one of the main publisher for library science, but it was also a pioneering publisher for  what was then called gay studies, and other then-obscure disciplines . There are references available, particularly for the gay studies part, and I am adding them.  And of course, having been notable then, it remains notable. (I agree it became less important after T&F bought it, & one of the refs I am adding added discusses why.  DGG ( talk ) 05:39, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per DGG mostly. Looking forward to seeing the extra sources. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 03:15, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:HEY. New sources establish notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:27, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per recent article improvements and new sourcing. Suffiently notable for a stand-alone article. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:25, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Recent expansion and new sources are quite sufficient to demonstrate notability. Edwardx (talk) 11:37, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep in accord with WP:HEY. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 19:28, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm rather surprised at the number of Keep !votes since not one of the references meets the criteria for establishing notability - which is a prerequisite for meeting GNG. References either rely on company announcements or interviews that are not intellectually independent - fails GNG, WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. Am I missing something? I'm very happy to change my !vote if someone can point out two sources. -- HighKing ++ 15:24, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
