Red Wheel Weiser Conari

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable publishing house. Only two references are for writer's desk references and would confirm only existence of magazine and publishing guidelines, no second-party commentary. Simonm223 (talk) 18:11, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. samuel weiser is a major metaphysical publishing house, and conari is notable as well. i dont think the article name is accurate, though. looking up samuel weiser should get many solid hits. ill try to fix shortly.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 22:32, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Page has six active redirects pointing to it, and a total of 67 Articles linking to it.  It needs clean up and references, not deletion.  Here's a Publishers Weekly article to start with, and here's their old entry in Jeff Herman's Guide to Book Publishers via Google Books.  Probably took less time to do that research than it took to create the AfD, and that's aside from the 27 pages found with the News Sources link in the AfD itself.  Also, according to their web site the company name is still "Red Wheel/Weiser, LLC" despite the Conari acquisition, so I agree with Mercurywoodrose that the name is inaccurate, and it should probably be moved.

 * Comment i had to truncate my response above, as i have a life outside WP, with sudden interruptions. there are approx. 80 references to samuel weiser on WP, mostly in the reference section of metaphysical articles. nuff said, except i should have remembered to say "rename"Mercurywoodrose (talk) 00:27, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I have no problem finding sources. Most of it is in Publishers Weekly.  One of the companies making it up goes back to 1957 according to the company website.  I agree with the move; it seems to be referred to mainly as "Red Wheel/Weiser".  Cazort (talk) 00:22, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
