Salariya Book Company

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

contested prod, created by and only major contributor has COI. Lacks 3rd party references demonstrating notability. RadioFan (talk) 01:31, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the division Scribblers should be included in the AfD. At the very least the two unreferenced articles can certainly be merged. :) ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:59, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Publisher of notable series of elementary children's books. In general, having books translated into multiple languages, as these books are,  is an indication of notability. I'm a little less sure, as it is apparently a  mass production operation intended to do that from the start.  Had the nom searched just under the term "Salariya", they'd have found a number of reviews of the company's books, though most of them are not significant coverage. I think one article is appropriate--"Scribblers" should clearly be merged. I note there are also articles for many of the series from the publisher, and they are going to be a bit of a problem. My usual sources aren't working well for these--they don't cover books at this level except in the US. DGG (talk) 04:58, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Notability is demonstrated through 3rd party references, this article has none. All google book hits appear to be on the company's products.  Google news is bringing up a single press release which is not a reliable source.  Just not seeing notability here.--RadioFan (talk) 15:08, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - a publisher that produces books that are covered in reliable sources is notable. That said, the company isn't all that notable, so one article for Salariya + Scribblers + the various series should be sufficient. --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:04, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Forgot to mention that most of their books aren't release under the "Salariya" name, but rather "Book House". Searching for the titles by name helps turn up more sources. --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and merge per ThaddeusB's suggestion. Favonian (talk) 20:51, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
