I'd like to welcome you today to a discussion that could have been avoided if this was speedy deleted as it should have been. The sources provided do not pass WP:GNG for WP:CORP. The sources are either from Amazon, or focus on a author. There is one source that has the name of the business in the title but then talks about an author and the genre.

Merge Create author page and merge the business mention there; it is likely to pass GNG with everything included, but the business itself does not seem notable/GNG. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 22:42, 7 June 2013 (UTC) 
 * Delete - thank you for your welcome HIAB! I couldn't find anything that would count as a reliable source beyond the one or two mentions provided as sources in the article and those are not "significant coverage". I removed the ridiculous Amazon search results masquerading as "sources" and removed some of the duplicates as well. When you consider what's left, I think WP:CORPDEPTH is a struggle.

 * delete all the gnews hits are very small mentions. Fails WP:GNG. LibStar (talk) 14:23, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to Crystal Lacey Winslow, making the appropriate edits to refocus the article on the author/owner of this publishing company, whose notability is established by the substantial coverage already cited from the New York Daily News, Publishers Weekly and Black Enterprise. Obviously, I also agree with the administrator who concluded that this article was not suitable for CSD#A7 in light of the multiple sources cited; A7 is satisfied by a "credible claim of significance or importance" (not notability), whether or not that is supported by reliable sources. --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:35, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Normally I won't ask these questions because your opinion is your opinion but the sources you see are credible, how does it credibly show that the business is notable? No where even close to being credible, we may have enough for a stand alone on the Author but even then it would be a stretch to pass WP:AUTHOR. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 02:13, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
