Fails WP:ORG as company has not been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Demiurge1000 (talk) 19:24, 14 October 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:01, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral a publishing company with a 30-year history and big-name licenses like Dora would seem to be notable, but I was surprised to find very little in the way of sources, just a few scraps from trade blogs like this. Maybe the issue is obfuscated due to their various imprints, but I dunno.  My gut instinct is the notability is there, but I can't find enough sources to justify a Keep vote.
