Periscope Press
advertising puff piece that reads like a press release. Unencyclopedic and does not appear to be at all notable. Spartaz 14:03, 18 August 2006 (UTC) DELETE as nom --Spartaz 14:03, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Err, why'd you add this? AfD is not a vote, so I can't see what you have to gain beyond wasting a bit of time and Corrupting The Youth&trade;.  fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 14:30, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I did this to clarify that I thought the article should be deleted. It's possible to nominate something while being neutral on whether it should exist or not. I don't know how that fits with policy but I'm sure I have seen it done. --Spartaz 22:07, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, seems to have published some books, but no verifiable info so far. JPD (talk) 14:08, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Reads like a spamvertisment. Fails to cite any reliable sources ...or any sources at all. Fails WP:V and sections of WP:OR. If Fuddlemark does not understand the AfD process and why the nom did this (which I would have myself) then he needs to re-review the AfD guidelines. -- Brian  ( How am I doing? ) 15:23, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I cannot find a listing for Periscope Press in the Yellow Pages Canada database at http://www.yellowpages.ca/ nor in the Canadian ISBN database at http://www.collectionscanada.ca/isbndir-bin/isbn-search?p=0&l=0 There is or was a publishing company called Periscope Press in Wayzata, Minnesota which published a book about cochlear implants, but that doesn't sound like the one described in the article. Perhaps the Canadian company has its phones and its ISBN numbers listed under a different name. Or maybe it doesn't exist. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 22:00, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per all above. Paddles TC 03:58, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
