 * keep -- for context, I am a computer science librarian at MIT. Safari is a major publishing product -- it is notable as a product that is purchased by most academic libraries in the US as well as by many companies, and is a long-running ebooks platform, and in my estimation is notable in the sense of both broad interest and of being one of the first of its type. It will be mostly covered in the trade publishing and library press. It looks like the article just needs to be re-written to be less spammy and with more coverage; I'll work on finding independent coverage. This article needs caretaking, not deletion. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 14:57, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
