No sources whatsoever (WP:ORGCRITE); does not satisfy WP:GNG; gives no indication of its notability. Lopifalko (talk) 17:11, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to F+W. This is a well-known publisher of art instruction books, but I am unfortunately finding very little in the way of secondary sources on the company--mostly in indices of publishers. Without substantial independent RS on company history, impact, etc., the topic doesn't reach the threshold of notability. That this is a publisher of art books and is owned by F+W is verifiable, however. This is also a plausible search term and there are a few dozen incoming links to the article. Hence a redirect is warranted. --Mark viking (talk) 21:21, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to F+W; not independently notable but a viable search term as a publisher. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:10, 14 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment: F+W may be a well-known publisher, but what I thought was its website redirects to fwcommunity.com, which doesn't seem to mention either art instruction books or North Light Books. -- Hoary (talk) 03:54, 14 September 2017 (UTC) I sit corrected. See the comment by Mark viking below. -- Hoary (talk) 13:54, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * North Light Books is indeed an imprint of F+W, here's what comes up if I search GNews:
 * Cool Home: Newport Victorian became artist's canvas | Cincinnati.com-May 18, 2017 | "Your Home: A Living Canvas," was set to be published by North Light Books, an imprint of locally based F+W, in 2008. ..."
 * So I think a redirect is appropriate. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:03, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * A better F+W link would be http://www.fwcommunity.com/community/fine-art, where North Light Books is mentioned --Mark viking (talk) 10:53, 14 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Redirect to F+W. -- Hoary (talk) 13:54, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect seems the best option. I have found only three peripheral mentions., and  There doesn't appear to be material to base an article on. Mduvekot (talk) 16:00, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to F+W per the additional sourcing above. --  Dane talk  19:14, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
